Ameroro – small settlement in Uepai District of Konawe Regency, Indonesia
Ameroro is a minor settlement in Indonesia located in the southeastern part of Celebes (Sulawesi) island. Administratively, it belongs to Uepai District (Kecamatan Uepai), which forms part of Konawe Regency (Kabupaten Konawe) within Southeast Sulawesi Province (Sulawesi Tenggara). Based on its coordinates (-3.893591, 122.0468106), the settlement is situated in the inland areas of Konawe Regency, relatively close to the regency's capital, Unaaha. Independent, detailed statistical data about the settlement is not available in publicly accessible, verifiable sources; therefore, the following presentation focuses on the broader regency and provincial context, clearly indicating the administrative level to which each statement applies.
General overview
Ameroro does not appear among widely known Indonesian tourism or industrial destinations; it is a small village for which independent encyclopedic descriptions are not available. Uepai District, to which it belongs, lies in the inland areas of Konawe Regency, which can be described as an agricultural region according to the Wikipedia article on Konawe Regency. The capital of Konawe Regency is Unaaha; according to the 2020 census, the regency had a population of 257,011, with official estimates for mid-2025 placing the population at 270,829. Until the administrative reorganizations in 2003, 2007, and 2013, Konawe Regency was known as the rice granary of the province, as it supplied roughly half of Southeast Sulawesi's rice production. The regency's area is currently 6,118.72 km², after the coastal areas comprising Wawonii Island were separated in 2013 to create Konawe Islands Regency. Ameroro itself can be counted among the regency's inland rural settlements, typically characterized by agricultural production and traditional Tolaki community lifestyle, though these observations apply exclusively to general characteristics at the regency level.
Real estate and investment
No verifiable data from public sources is available regarding Ameroro's real estate market and investment opportunities. At Konawe Regency level, it can be noted that land prices in the province's inland, agricultural areas are typically considerably lower than in the province's more developed, coastal, or industrial zones. According to the general framework of Indonesian property regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of real estate in Indonesia; they have access to Hak Pakai (use rights) or Hak Sewa (lease rights) forms, which are limited in time. From an investment perspective, certain zones of Konawe Regency attract capital through the mining and agricultural sectors, but the applicability of these generalizations to Ameroro requires separate, local-level investigation. Before purchasing real estate or entering into long-term lease arrangements, engagement of local legal experts is always recommended, as Indonesian land law regulations are quite complex.
Safety and security
No publicly accessible, reliable crime statistics or official assessments are available regarding the safety and security of Ameroro and Uepai District. As broader context, it may be noted that Konawe Regency's inland rural areas are generally characterized by low population density and traditional community norms, which typically prioritize in-community resolution of minor conflicts. No publicly accessible provincial-level indices are available for Southeast Sulawesi Province as a whole that would permit a comprehensive security assessment. The province has not experienced major, widely documented public security incidents in recent decades that would have lasting impact on the region's perception; however, in the absence of concrete, reliable data on public safety, all statements on this subject should be treated with reservation.
Tourist attractions
The available sources contain no named tourist attractions attributable to Ameroro, making it impossible to mention such attractions without relying on invented facts. Regarding the broader Konawe Regency area, it can be said that certain parts of the regency—including river valleys and proximity to the Celebes Sea relative to other provincial zones—could potentially appeal to tourists, though these cannot be specifically linked to Ameroro. The province, Southeast Sulawesi as a whole, is known for cultural and nature tourism organized around the city of Kendari; however, Kendari belongs to a different administrative unit, Kota Kendari, distinct from Ameroro. For those wishing to explore the region, it is advisable to begin from the regency capital, Unaaha, and consult local sources regarding currently visitable areas, as reliable, current descriptions of the tourism infrastructure and attractions of smaller inland villages are not available.
Summary
Ameroro is a small Indonesian settlement in the southeastern part of Celebes, in Uepai District of Konawe Regency, for which detailed, verified statistics are not publicly available. The broader Konawe Regency's agricultural traditions, relatively low population density, and typically rural character likely constitute relevant context for Ameroro as well, but this does not substitute for information obtained on-site or from authenticated local sources. Those seriously engaged with the area—whether for investment or settlement purposes—should consult local authorities, notaries, and legal experts to gain more accurate understanding of the actual situation.
