Lambolemo – a small settlement in Kabupaten Kolaka Samaturu District, Southeast Sulawesi
Lambolemo is a minor settlement that belongs to Samaturu District (kecamatan) in Kabupaten Kolaka, Sulawesi Tenggara (Southeast Sulawesi) Province, Indonesia. Based on its coordinates, it is located in the southeastern part of Sulawesi Island, near the heart of the Kolaka region. The seat of Kabupaten Kolaka is Kolaka City itself, whose administrative center is located in Lamokato Kelurahan (urban district). No independent, reliable encyclopedic sources are available about Lambolemo, so the description below is primarily based on information available and verifiable at the regency and provincial levels, as indicated in all relevant sections of the text.
General overview
Lambolemo is located within Samaturu District, which is one of the administrative districts of Kabupaten Kolaka. Based on regency-level sources, it can be established that the seat and most significant urban center of Kabupaten Kolaka is Kolaka City, which serves simultaneously as both a district and regency capital in Sulawesi Tenggara Province. Lambolemo itself is a smaller settlement, presumably of rural character, whose exact population data and detailed infrastructure characteristics cannot be derived from available sources. Villages and settlements within Samaturu District generally exhibit agricultural and small-community character, with the area considered part of the kabupaten's inland, terrestrial region. Kabupaten Kolaka itself extends along the southeastern coast of the Celebes Peninsula and is regarded as one of the moderately developed administrative units of the province, with Kolaka City serving as the regional trade and administrative center. Based on regency-level data, the area's economy traditionally rests on agriculture, fishing, and the extraction of natural resources.
Real estate and investment
Direct, settlement-level data on Lambolemo's real estate market is not available. Considering the broader context of Kabupaten Kolaka, it can be said that the regency occupies a relatively peripheral position compared to larger Indonesian real estate market centers such as Makassar, which suggests more moderate property prices and slower market dynamics, although these are not substantiated by concrete local statistics. From an investment perspective, it is generally true that in certain areas of Sulawesi Tenggara Province, infrastructure developments and the presence of the mining sector may influence local real estate demand, but no sources can verify such specific linkages in the case of Lambolemo. Under the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire direct ownership rights (Hak Milik) to real estate in Indonesia; they have available to them Hak Pakai (use rights) or other legal structures, the details of which are set forth in Indonesian agrarian law regulations and in the provisions of the Badan Pertanahan Nasional (National Land Authority). This general regulation applies to the entire territory of the country, including Kabupaten Kolaka and Lambolemo.
Safety and security
Neither criminal statistics nor any other concrete, verifiable sources are available regarding Lambolemo's public safety. The broader region, Sulawesi Tenggara Province, is generally classified among Indonesian provinces with moderate security ratings, without particular regional conflict or elevated security policy warnings; however, this general assessment does not substitute for concrete, current local data. In smaller, rural-character communities such as Lambolemo presumably is, similar to the general picture of Indonesian villages, community-level cohesion and local administration play a role in maintaining everyday security. Travelers and potential investors are in all cases advised to consult the most current provincial and kabupaten-level government information.
Tourist attractions
In the case of Lambolemo, no single named tourist attraction within the settlement can be identified from available sources. Regarding the broader Kabupaten Kolaka region, it is generally known that the natural attributes of the Southeast Sulawesi coast — the coastline, tropical forests, and proximity to the Banda Sea — may hold appeal for nature enthusiasts and divers; however, concrete, verifiable identification of these in connection with Lambolemo's vicinity is not possible from available sources. Kolaka City, as the regency center, serves as a sort of starting point for exploring the region, and presumably the administrative, trade, and transportation infrastructure is densest there. More precise information about Lambolemo's possible natural or cultural value could be obtained from local sources and from the administrative bodies of Samaturu District.
Summary
Lambolemo is a small, poorly documented settlement in Samaturu District of Kabupaten Kolaka, Sulawesi Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Available source material extends only to the regency level, so a factual, detailed description of the settlement cannot presently be provided. The broader Kabupaten Kolaka region is located on the southeastern coast of Celebes and is one of the moderately developed units of the province, with Kolaka City serving as the administrative and commercial center. Those who require substantiated information about Lambolemo — whether concerning real estate purchase, tourism, or residence — can obtain reliable information from local district and regency administrative bodies and from current on-site sources.
