Diha – a small Sumbawan village in Belo district, Kabupaten Bima
Diha is an Indonesian settlement located on the island of Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat) province. Administratively, it belongs to Belo district (Kecamatan Belo), which forms part of Kabupaten Bima. Based on its coordinates (-8.6386456, 118.7478895), it is situated in the south-central area of the kabupaten. The seat of Kabupaten Bima is Kecamatan Woha, and the regency forms part of the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion.
General overview
Diha is a smaller village not particularly well known to the wider public, and there is currently no independent, settlement-level data source available for it. To understand the broader administrative unit, Kabupaten Bima, it is worth noting that according to 2020 census data, the regency's total population was 532,677 people, with a population density of 156 people per square kilometer, which represents a moderate figure by Sumbawan standards. The regency consists largely of agricultural areas, and the local economy is determined primarily by rice cultivation, corn, onion and other vegetable production, as well as livestock farming. Diha and the settlements of Belo district fit within this agrarian economic framework: daily life is built on rural community customs, local markets, and agricultural activities. No independent verifiable source is available regarding the precise territorial extent and population of Belo kecamatan, so these figures are not presented here.
Real estate and investment
Specific real estate market data for Diha settlement and Belo district is not available in verifiable sources. In general terms, it can be said that the real estate market in Kabupaten Bima is far less active and less developed than in Lombok island, which also belongs to Nusa Tenggara Barat but is more popular as a tourist destination. In the regency, land and property prices are typically moderate by rural Indonesian standards, and demand is exercised primarily among local, domestic buyers. Foreign nationals in Indonesia, under general regulations, cannot acquire direct land ownership (under Hak Milik title); for them, longer-term usage rights such as Hak Pakai or Hak Sewa (rental rights) are possible. No investment data or development projects specifically related to Diha or Belo district are presented, as no such sources are available; the above reflects the broader economic context of the kabupaten and the province.
Safety and security
No independent, verifiable source is available regarding safety and security in Diha, so settlement-level crime statistics or security assessments cannot be presented. Regarding the broader region, Kabupaten Bima, it can be said in general terms that in rural Sumbawan areas, daily life is typically based on strong community bonds, which at the village level also means social control based on mutual acquaintance and local customary law. Travelers are advised to inquire about current local conditions and any recommendations from Indonesian authorities, as the security situation may vary periodically and by area. No specific incident or risk factor relating to Diha is confirmed without a source.
Tourist attractions
No verifiable source mentions named tourist attractions in Diha or Belo district, so none are listed here. The broader Kabupaten Bima and the island of Sumbawa, however, contain regionally known natural and cultural values: on the eastern part of the island, also in West Nusa Tenggara province, is located Mount Tambora, whose 1815 eruption was one of the largest known volcanic events in history, and which can be approached from the territories of the surrounding regencies. In Bima city (Kota Bima, which is administratively separate from Kabupaten Bima), the historical heritage of Kesultanan Bima, or the Bima Sultanate, is well known, including the Sultan's Palace (Istana Kesultanan Bima). These locations are mentioned without specifying exact distance from Belo district, as no verifiable data on this is available. Sumbawa island in general is less tourist-traffic-intensive than neighboring Lombok or Bali, which also affects the rhythm of life in local villages.
Summary
Diha is a small Sumbawan village belonging to Belo district of Kabupaten Bima in West Nusa Tenggara province. No independent, settlement-level statistical or tourist source is available, so the above presentation is based primarily on regency-level data and broader regional context. The agrarian nature of the kabupaten, the rural community lifestyle, and relatively low tourist exposure together characterize the broader environment in which Diha is situated. For more detailed, up-to-date information, it is advisable to contact local Indonesian municipal sources or the Kabupaten Bima administration.
