Lamoare – settlement in the southeastern part of Bombana Regency, Sulawesi
Lamoare is an Indonesian settlement located in the South-East Sulawesi (Southeast Sulawesi) province, within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Bombana, belonging to Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara district. Based on its coordinates (-4.8045; 121.9359), it is situated in the southern part of the Sulawesi island. The capital of Kabupaten Bombana is Kasipute, and the regency was established in 2003 through the 29th law on the basis of the division of the former Kabupaten Buton. Independent, detailed administrative or population data for Lamoare are currently not available in publicly accessible, verifiable sources; the following sections present broader regency and district-level context, always clearly indicating the limits of available knowledge.
General overview
Lamoare does not belong among the widely known or tourist-visited settlements of Indonesia. Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara is a relatively sparsely inhabited region in southern Sulawesi, characterized primarily by agricultural and natural conditions. Some regency-level data are available for Kabupaten Bombana as a whole: the region's total population in 2005 was 110,029 people, comprising 54,635 males and 55,394 females, while by mid-2025 this number had risen to 169,072 people, indicating dynamic growth over the past two decades. The regency is home to the Moronene, an indigenous population group that concentrates primarily in the Rarowatu, Rarowatu Utara, and Rumbia areas, but is also present in many other kecamatan within Kabupaten Bombana. No detailed, source-based description is available for Lamoare and its immediate surroundings or Poleang Tenggara district; the settlement presumably reflects the rural, agrarian character of the regency, where daily livelihoods are largely tied to local agriculture, fishing, and related activities.
Real estate and investment
No verifiable real estate market data are available for Lamoare or Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara. In the broader context of Kabupaten Bombana, it can be noted that since its establishment in 2003, the growing-population, developing regency generally exhibits the real estate market dynamics characteristic of rural Indonesian areas: land prices are typically lower than in major urban or tourism centers, and the extent of infrastructure development is decisive for investment considerations. An important general note is that in Indonesia, foreign nationals' opportunities to acquire land ownership are legally restricted: foreigners cannot directly acquire "Hak Milik" (full ownership) type land property, but may only hold real estate under specific, time-limited titles (such as Hak Pakai, meaning use rights). These general rules apply throughout the country, thus also to Lamoare and Bombana Regency. Before making any specific investment decision, involvement of local legal and real estate market specialists is essential.
Safety and security
No verifiable statistics describing public safety at either local or district level are available for Lamoare. South-East Sulawesi province and Kabupaten Bombana generally do not rank among areas carrying elevated security risks within Indonesia, but this does not mean that any specific claims can be made about the internal conditions of the given small community. As in any rural, sparsely inhabited region, public safety at the local level depends significantly on community norms, the degree of police presence, and infrastructure provision. Before traveling or settling, it is advisable to consult current consular recommendations or local sources regarding the situation, as conditions may change over time.
Tourist attractions
No single named tourist attraction can be identified in connection with Lamoare and Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara in the available, verifiable source material. The broader Kabupaten Bombana area occupies southern Sulawesi, where the natural environment – coastlines, tropical forests, shorelines facing the Celebes Sea – may generally be attractive to nature enthusiasts; however, no verifiable, source-based tourist description is available for these specific locations either. Reliable information about any natural or cultural points of interest in the vicinity of Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara is best obtained from local sources or the competent administrative bodies of Kabupaten Bombana.
Summary
Lamoare is a sparsely documented rural Indonesian settlement in Kecamatan Poleang Tenggara district, within Kabupaten Bombana Regency, in South-East Sulawesi Province, in southern Sulawesi. The available source material contains only regency-level data: Kabupaten Bombana was established in 2003, the Moronene indigenous population group lives within its territory, and continuous population growth has been observed over the past two decades. No independent, detailed data are publicly available for Lamoare itself, thus the settlement's characteristics regarding tourism, real estate market, and public safety can only be described on the basis of broader regional context. Those intending to settle or invest there are advised to seek on-site information and professional consultation.
