19 Nopember – a small settlement in Wundulako District, Kolaka Regency
19 Nopember is an Indonesian settlement on the island of Celebes (Sulawesi), specifically in Sulawesi Tenggara (South-East Celebes) province. Administratively, it belongs to Wundulako Kecamatan (district), which forms part of Kabupaten Kolaka. According to its coordinates (approximately -4.12° south latitude and 121.65° east longitude), it is located in the interior areas of the regency. No independent statistical or encyclopedic source is available on this settlement; therefore, the description below relies on verifiable data concerning the regency and the broader surrounding region.
General overview
19 Nopember is a smaller settlement within Wundulako Kecamatan, its name — literally translated as "November 19" — reflecting a characteristic form of Indonesian place naming based on dates. Such place names are encountered throughout Indonesia, particularly in areas settled as part of transmigration programs, where the founding date became the name of the community. Wundulako District and Kabupaten Kolaka are relatively little known from the perspective of national or international tourism; the region's economy is primarily determined by agriculture, mining, and the utilization of natural resources. According to 2024 end-of-year data, Kabupaten Kolaka is a regency with a population of approximately 257,733 inhabitants, with its administrative seat located in Kolaka Kecamatan. The regency covers a relatively large area and encompasses several sub-regions of different character — coastal, peninsular, and interior areas. The precise population and area of the settlement named 19 Nopember do not appear in available sources.
Real estate and investment
No real estate market data specifically concerning 19 Nopember is available. The broader context is provided by the property market of Kabupaten Kolaka, where prices and demand are generally substantially lower than in more developed urban centers of Sulawesi Tenggara, such as the city of Kendari. Investment activity in the regency is predominantly influenced by mining and agro-industrial developments rather than tourism. In smaller, interior-located settlements — as 19 Nopember likely is — property transactions are typically localized, and the majority of transactions are based on verbal agreements and local community norms. According to Indonesian law, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of property in Indonesia; for them, long-term lease arrangements (Hak Sewa) or the Hak Pakai title are available under certain conditions. This general regulatory framework applies throughout the country, including in Sulawesi Tenggara. Prior to any investment decision, consultation with a local legal advisor is necessary.
Safety and security
No specific, cited sources are available regarding the public safety of 19 Nopember. The broader region, Sulawesi Tenggara province, and within it Kabupaten Kolaka, can generally be counted among relatively stable rural areas of Indonesia, where daily life is organized around agricultural and community activities. In rural small villages, strong community cohesion traditionally influences local law enforcement, though this in itself does not replace institutional security. There is no publicly available documentation of significant social tensions or security incidents in this area; however, the absence of such documentation does not provide a guarantee. Travelers and investors are advised to familiarize themselves on-site and establish prior contact with local authorities.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions can be identified at either the level of 19 Nopember or Wundulako Kecamatan from available sources. Over the broader area of Kabupaten Kolaka, however, the natural features characteristic of Sulawesi's interior and coastlines are prevalent: tropical jungle, rivers, and the coastline of the Flores Sea that runs along the regency's eastern boundary. At certain points within the Kolaka district, mining and industrial facilities also define the landscape, which likewise form part of local reality, though they do not represent tourist attraction. Should someone stay in the region, the nearest urban point with documented infrastructure and services is Kolaka city, the regency's administrative seat, where transportation connections, accommodation, and basic supplies are available. The distance from 19 Nopember to Kolaka city can be estimated from the coordinate data, but precise mileage cannot be given due to lack of sources.
Summary
19 Nopember is a small Indonesian settlement in Wundulako Kecamatan of Kabupaten Kolaka, in Sulawesi Tenggara province. No independent, detailed administrative or encyclopedic source is available; therefore, the settlement's precise characteristics — population, area, infrastructure — cannot be reliably described. The regency as a whole, at the end of 2024, has a population of approximately 258,000 and is considered a territory with a characteristically agricultural and mining profile. The location is not regarded as a tourism destination, its property market is local in character, and for foreign interested parties it is particularly important to become familiar in advance with local legal and administrative conditions.
