Mataiwoi – small settlement in Angata subdistrict, Konawe Selatan regency
Mataiwoi is an Indonesian settlement located in Sulawesi Tenggara (South East Sulawesi) province, within Konawe Selatan regency, specifically in Angata subdistrict. Based on its geographic coordinates (−4.11° south latitude, 122.23° east longitude), it is situated on the southeastern peninsula of Celebes island. Kendari, the province's capital, is the most significant urban center in the region. Mataiwoi does not have a detailed description known from Wikipedia or other publicly accessible sources, so the following characterization is based largely on generally known data about the province and the broader region, which is indicated in the text at all relevant sections.
General overview
Mataiwoi does not appear prominently in widely known tourism or administrative sources, which suggests it is a relatively small-population rural community with everyday village life. The settlement belongs to Angata subdistrict, which forms part of Konawe Selatan regency. Konawe Selatan is a region rich in agriculture and natural resources on Celebes: rice cultivation, plantation farming (primarily cocoa, coconut, and other tropical crops), and fishing are characteristic of the regency's territory. Considering the province as a whole, the land area of Sulawesi Tenggara is 38,140 km², while its sea surface is approximately 110,000 km²; the province's registered population in the first half of 2025 exceeded 2.8 million. Mataiwoi itself lies in the southeastern inland part of the province, on the relatively sparsely populated peninsula's predominantly agricultural and forested areas. The level of local infrastructure and services—as is typical for Indonesian villages of similar size and location—is likely limited, and major public institutions and markets are accessible in Angata subdistrict or Konawe Selatan regency centers.
Real estate and investment
No direct public data is available regarding Mataiwoi's real estate market. In broader context, the conditions in Konawe Selatan regency and Sulawesi Tenggara province can be taken into account. The province's economy has traditionally been driven by agriculture, mining (primarily nickel), and fishing, which may also be reflected in land and property price developments in rural areas. On rural Celebes, real estate prices are generally significantly lower than in Indonesian tourism hotspots (such as Bali or parts of Java), though liquidity and market transparency are also more limited. An important general regulatory framework for foreign investors is that in Indonesia, foreigners (non-Indonesian citizens) cannot directly acquire property falling under the strictest land ownership categories (Hak Milik, meaning full ownership); for them, Hak Pakai (usage rights) and certain rental arrangements are available, whose terms must always be clarified with a local legal expert. In the case of Mataiwoi and Angata subdistrict, investment appeal may be primarily associated with agriculturally usable land, but detailed statements cannot be made in the absence of reliable local market data.
Safety and security
No specific publicly available data is known regarding Mataiwoi's safety and security. Sulawesi Tenggara province is generally not known among Indonesian provinces as an area with notably high crime rates, however, in rural, peripherally located villages, law enforcement capacity and response times are typically limited. Everyday security in rural Celebes is largely based on local community norms and neighborhood relations. For reliable, current, and location-specific information regarding safety, the information from the province or regency authorities, as well as Indonesian diplomatic missions, is authoritative.
Tourist attractions
Mataiwoi does not have named tourist attractions listed in available sources. The broader Konawe Selatan regency is one of Celebes's areas rich in natural assets: on the peninsula's southern and southeastern coastlines, there are coastal and diving opportunities, and tropical forests are found in inland areas. Kendari, the province's capital, offers numerous cultural and natural attractions and is relatively accessible from Konawe Selatan. In the case of Mataiwoi, the ecological environment—tropical vegetation, agricultural landscape—may provide interest to visitors wishing to experience rural Indonesia beyond the average, but organized tourism infrastructure cannot be expected based on available information. For details regarding any specific local attractions, the local government bodies of Angata subdistrict or Konawe Selatan regency are the appropriate source.
Summary
Mataiwoi is a small rural Indonesian community in Sulawesi Tenggara province, in Angata subdistrict of Konawe Selatan regency. The settlement does not feature prominently in available public sources, so its characterization is based on general data at the province and regency level. The rural, agricultural character of Angata subdistrict, the tropical climate, and the natural assets of the Celebes peninsula form the framework of local life. For detailed, location-specific information, the local government bodies or official sources of the regency can provide reliable guidance.
