Kambulabulana – a small settlement in Pasarwajo District, Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi
Kambulabulana is an Indonesian small settlement that belongs to Pasarwajo Kecamatan (district), as part of Kabupaten Buton (Buton Regency), in Sulawesi Tenggara (Southeast Sulawesi) province, on the island of Sulawesi. Based on its coordinates (-5.5035546, 122.8453155), it is located in the central-eastern region of Buton Island. No dedicated, detailed Wikipedia entry or other publicly available source exists for Kambulabulana at this time; the description below is based on the broader context of Pasarwajo District and Kabupaten Buton, as well as verifiable regional data, which will be clearly indicated in all cases.
General overview
Kambulabulana is not among the more widely known settlements of Sulawesi Island, and in available databases only its name, administrative classification, and coordinates can be identified with certainty. Pasarwajo Kecamatan encompasses Pasarwajo city, which also functions as the administrative headquarters of Kabupaten Buton, giving the district some administrative and commercial significance in the broader island context. Buton itself is a regency located on Buton Island, covering part of the territory of the historical Buton Sultanate — this sultanate was a defining political and cultural factor for centuries in the eastern part of the Sulawesi Sea region. The regency's territory is divided into several smaller kecamatan, among which Pasarwajo is one of the more significant. Based on available data, Kambulabulana itself is probably a small rural community, typically based on agricultural or fishing activities, similar to those found in considerable numbers on Buton Island, though concrete supporting evidence would require on-site investigation or more detailed administrative sources.
Real estate and investment
Real estate market data specific to Kambulabulana does not appear in publicly available sources, so the following presents the broader real estate market context of Kabupaten Buton and Sulawesi Tenggara province. Smaller rural settlements in Southeast Sulawesi generally belong to the less active segment of the Indonesian real estate market: transaction volumes are low, prices are considerably more moderate than in larger cities or more developed tourism regions. The availability of infrastructure and public services in rural areas can be variable, which also affects property values and investment appeal. Indonesian land ownership rules are generally characterized as restrictive for foreign nationals: foreign private individuals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik), however certain long-term lease and Hak Pakai (usage rights) arrangements are available to them, and it is always advisable to consult with a local legal expert regarding the details. Within smaller, less well-mapped settlements in Buton Regency, real estate transactions typically occur between local parties, and the market is less transparent than in more developed regions.
Safety and security
No settlement-level statistical data or police reports regarding public safety in Kambulabulana are publicly available, so here too only general observations about the broader region can be made. Sulawesi Tenggara province and Kabupaten Buton within it are generally considered among the relatively stable regions of Indonesia, characterized by low population density and the strong presence of local community norms typical of island rural communities. In most of rural Indonesia, public safety concerns typically manifest more in challenges related to infrastructure accessibility and emergency services availability than in organized crime. It is certainly worthwhile to familiarize oneself with local conditions before arrival through current sources, such as current Indonesian or foreign travel advisories, since situations can change and precise data specific to such a small settlement is only limitedly available.
Tourist attractions
No data exists in available sources regarding tourist attractions specific to Kambulabulana, so no named landmarks can be reported in connection with the settlement. Buton Island and Kabupaten Buton as a whole, however, are regions of historical and natural value. The legacy of the Buton Sultanate remains felt in the region: in Baubau city — which serves as the sultanate's former capital and, while administratively an independent kota, is located on Buton Island — the Benteng Wolio fortress and the sultan's palace are designated cultural heritage sites. Baubau is located in the western part of the island compared to Pasarwajo District and is regarded as the island's most significant urban and cultural center. The coastal and marine environment of Buton Island also offers opportunities for diving and snorkeling at several points, though reliable information about their specific locations and distance from Kambulabulana cannot be provided due to lack of sources.
Summary
Kambulabulana is a small, poorly documented settlement in Pasarwajo Kecamatan, Kabupaten Buton, in Southeast Sulawesi. Beyond its administrative classification and coordinates, no verifiable data is available from publicly accessible sources, so the description above necessarily relied on the broader context of the regency and province. Buton Regency and Pasarwajo District constitute a tradition-preserving and partly naturally valuable region in the eastern part of Sulawesi Island, whose precise documentation requires on-site knowledge and more current sources.
