Kamisi – small villages in Kodeoha district, North Kolaka regency
Kamisi is an Indonesian settlement located in Kodeoha district, which belongs to Kolaka Utara (North Kolaka) regency in Sulawesi Tenggara (Southeast Sulawesi) province. Based on its coordinates, it is situated in the central-southern part of Sulawesi island, at approximately 3.35 degrees south latitude and 120.94 degrees east longitude. The administrative and cultural center of the province is Kendari, and in relation to it, Kamisi lies in the western-central areas of the regency. Currently, no detailed, independent Wikipedia or other publicly available source about Kamisi exists; therefore, the description below is based on verifiable data at the level of the broader administrative units — Kodeoha district, Kolaka Utara regency, and Sulawesi Tenggara province — which the reader should keep in mind.
General overview
Kamisi belongs to Kodeoha kecamatan (district), which is an administrative subdivision of Kolaka Utara kabupaten (regency). Kolaka Utara itself became an independent regency in 2007, when it separated from its parent regency, Kolaka. The province, Sulawesi Tenggara, had a population of approximately 2.85 million in the first half of 2025, and its land area spans roughly 38,140 square kilometers, while its maritime waters extend to 110,000 square kilometers. The region is predominantly based on agricultural and forestry activities, with local livelihoods traditionally founded on rice cultivation, cacao, coconut, and other tropical crop production, as well as fishing. The exact size of Kamisi, its institutional facilities, and precise population figures cannot be determined from available sources; villages similar to Kodeoha district, located in the northern-central part of Kolaka Utara, are generally small-population, rural-character communities, whose lives are defined by climatic and natural conditions, as well as regional infrastructure. The entire area is characterized by the province's equator-proximate tropical monsoon climate, marked by the alternation of wet and dry seasons.
Real estate and investment
No concrete, publicly available market data exists regarding the real estate market in Kamisi and Kodeoha district; therefore, the following reflects the context generally characteristic of Sulawesi Tenggara province and Kolaka Utara regency. The province's real estate market is overall considerably less developed and liquid than the major cities of South Sulawesi (Sulawesi Selatan), particularly around Makassar. In more peripheral, rural areas, real estate prices are generally low, demand is primarily local, and the majority of transactions occur through informal channels. For foreign nationals, Indonesian land law contains generally applicable restrictions: foreign individuals cannot, as a rule, acquire full, "Hak Milik" (ownership right) type land ownership in Indonesia, but may participate in the market only under specific legal titles — for example, Hak Pakai (use rights) or long-term rental structures. This general framework also applies in rural areas of Sulawesi Tenggara. From an investment perspective, the Kolaka Utara region shows longer-term development potential along the raw material extraction sector (particularly nickel and other mineral resources), although this primarily affects the industrial and commercial sectors rather than the small-scale residential real estate market.
Safety and security
No independent, verifiable statistics or detailed official data exist regarding safety and security in Kamisi. Regarding the broader region, Sulawesi Tenggara province, it can generally be said that in rural, small-settlement areas, the proportion of serious violent crimes is typically low, and local community norms, the adat-gotong royong based community solidarity, play an important role in maintaining social order. At the same time, in more remote areas with poorer infrastructure, police presence and emergency response capacity may be more limited than in larger cities. In Kolaka Utara and neighboring mining regions, local conflicts related to natural resources have occasionally emerged in recent decades, though these primarily affect industrial zones rather than small village communities from a direct public safety perspective. Considering all these factors, consultation of local official or consular sources is recommended for a more accurate situational assessment.
Tourist attractions
No named, source-supported tourist attractions exist for Kamisi. However, Sulawesi Tenggara province as a whole encompasses geographically diverse areas: the province includes coastlines opening toward the Banda Sea and Flores Sea, coral reefs, as well as the tropical forests of Sulawesi's interior. The province's most well-known tourist destinations — for example, the Wakatobi archipelago, sought by diving enthusiasts — lie in other regencies and are at considerable distances from Kamisi even as the crow flies. Within Kolaka Utara regency, natural rivers, waterfalls, and the hilly-forested interior areas represent potential attractions, though their tourism infrastructure is moderately developed. Specifically, no particularly noted or highlighted landmarks can be identified within Kodeoha district based on available sources; travelers visiting the area would find instead an authentic, but tourism-wise minimally organized experience, appealing primarily to those interested in rural natural environment and village community life.
Summary
Kamisi is a small settlement located in Kodeoha district, Kolaka Utara regency, in Sulawesi Tenggara province, for which detailed, independent administrative or tourism sources are not currently publicly available. The broader province constitutes a tropical, natural resource-rich countryside that lags behind major urban areas economically and infrastructurally. Regarding the real estate market, tourism, and security situation alike, the general characteristics of the province and regency provide the framework for understanding the settlement, while precise data specific to Kamisi can be reliably obtained from local sources or authorities.
