Amohola – a small settlement in Moramo district, Southeast Sulawesi
Amohola is a village in Sulawesi Tenggara (Southeast Sulawesi) province in Indonesia, within Konawe Selatan (South Konawe) regency, belonging to the Moramo district (kecamatan). Based on its coordinates (−4.2058° south latitude, 122.5712° east longitude), it is located in the southeastern part of Celebes island, near the Banda Sea coast. Verified authenticated data specific to the settlement is not available in accessible sources – in the following section, the broader context is presented on the basis of generally verifiable characteristics of Konawe Selatan regency and Sulawesi Tenggara province, with clear indication where facts do not concern settlement level.
General overview
Amohola belongs to Moramo district, which is one of the administrative units of Konawe Selatan regency. Konawe Selatan regency itself became an independent kabupaten (regency) during administrative reorganization in 2003, separating from the original Konawe regency. The regency's territory is predominantly rural in character: livelihood is based primarily on agriculture (mainly rice fields, cocoa and coconut palm plantations), fishing, and to a lesser extent mining. From Kendari city, the capital of Sulawesi Tenggara province – where the most significant regional infrastructure, hospitals, airport and market are concentrated – Amohola may be located approximately 30–40 kilometers to the south in a straight line based on coordinates, however verified authenticated data on exact road distance is not available. Communities living in the Moramo area typically belong to the Tolaki ethnicity, who traditionally live within agrarian and fishing cultures. It is important to emphasize that verified sources on Amohola's internal, community characteristics (such as population size, territorial extent) are currently not available, thus this data does not appear here.
Real estate and investment
No independent, reliable market data is available regarding Amohola's real estate market. Viewed in broader context, Konawe Selatan regency – like many rural districts in Sulawesi Tenggara province – typically shows low land prices and modest real estate turnover compared to Indonesian urban centers. The regency's development potential has been shaped in recent decades by the growing presence of nickel and other mineral extraction mining in Sulawesi Tenggara generally, which has been accompanied in certain areas by infrastructure investments and livening of the local labor market, though this shows uneven geographic distribution. Foreign nationals' opportunities for acquiring Indonesian real estate are generally limited: under Indonesian law (primarily the 1960 Agrarian Reform Law and related regulations), foreigners cannot acquire Hak Milik (full ownership) property. For them, the forms of Hak Pakai (use rights) and Hak Sewa (lease rights) are available, and for longer-term plans, in certain cases Hak Guna Bangunan (building and use rights) may be considered through company establishment. These legal frameworks apply throughout the country, thus are applicable in Amohola and Moramo district as well. Prior to any investment decision, it is advisable to engage a local legal expert, as in rural areas the state of land registration and actual market conditions can be extremely varied.
Safety and security
No verified, settlement-level statistics are available regarding Amohola's public safety. Viewed across Sulawesi Tenggara province as a whole, according to Indonesian authorities' records the province's rural settlements are generally known for relatively low levels of organized crime, though minor local incidents and crimes against property can occur anywhere in rural communities. Public order is maintained at local level by Polri (Indonesian National Police) units, whose regional offices operate in larger cities and certain district administrative centers. In rural areas, the density of official presence is generally lower than in urban districts, thus individual sense of security and the role of community self-organization are typically more pronounced. Specific crime data regarding Amohola or Moramo district cannot be cited without verified sources.
Tourist attractions
No independent, authenticated tourist sources are available for Amohola and Moramo district, therefore specific local attractions cannot be named. The broader region, Sulawesi Tenggara province, however possesses several known natural attractions. Near Konawe Selatan regency and neighboring areas, the Banda Sea coast and the tropical beaches and coral reefs of the Flores Sea region are known to divers and nature enthusiasts. In the province, Wakatobi National Park (located within Wakatobi Kabupaten) is one of the most significant marine protected areas in Indonesia, though this is at considerable distance from Amohola, in the area around Buton island. In Kendari city, the regional museum and fishing port may be visited. It is important to emphasize that these attractions do not represent Amohola's or Moramo district's immediate draw, but rather represent verifiable attractions of neighboring regions; their exact distance and accessibility from Amohola cannot be stated with certainty without independent sources.
Summary
Amohola is a rural settlement belonging to Moramo district of Konawe Selatan regency in Sulawesi Tenggara province, in Southeast Sulawesi. Independent statistical and tourist documentation of the place is minimal; characteristics of the broader region – agriculture-based local economy, limited foreign real estate acquisition opportunities, rural public safety conditions – provide a framework for understanding the settlement. More detailed, verified local data can be found in resources from Konawe Selatan regency administration, and regional publications of Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency.
