Hidirasa – village in Kecamatan Wera, eastern Kabupaten Bima
Hidirasa is an Indonesian settlement belonging to Kecamatan Wera and situated within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Bima. Kabupaten Bima is located on Sumbawa island in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat) province, part of the broader Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion. Based on its coordinates (-8.6184411, 118.917927), the settlement is found in the eastern, coastal areas of the regency, in proximity to the Flores Sea. Hidirasa itself lacks widely documented, distinct source material, so the characterization below relies on verifiable data at the Kecamatan Wera and Kabupaten Bima levels.
General overview
Hidirasa is one of the villages in Kecamatan Wera, located in the eastern corner of Kabupaten Bima. The regency as a whole spans Sumbawa island, and according to the 2020 Indonesian census, Kabupaten Bima had a total population of 532,677, with a population density of approximately 156 per km². The regency's seat is located in Kecamatan Woha, making Hidirasa a peripheral area in administrative terms, situated in Kecamatan Wera. Kecamatan Wera itself belongs to the eastern part of the regency, where topography and coastal location determine living conditions. Villages in this region are typically agricultural communities — primarily engaged in rice cultivation, maize farming, and fishing — possessing relatively modest infrastructure and limited tourist recognition. Hidirasa does not appear on the list of nationally known destinations, and no extensive public documentation is available about it, indicating a quiet community with rhythm and character distinct from major urban activity, predominantly local in nature.
Real estate and investment
Specific real estate market data for Hidirasa settlement is not available, so the following reflects the broader context of Kabupaten Bima and West Nusa Tenggara province. The provincial real estate market — in contrast to the frequented areas of Bali island — is moderately developed, with land prices and rental rates typically significantly lower than in the country's tourism-developed regions. In areas with more peripheral locations like Kecamatan Wera, the real estate market is relatively narrow and illiquid, with transactions occurring mainly within the local population. It is important to note for foreign nationals that under Indonesia's general land ownership regulations, foreign citizens cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over land; for them, primarily long-term lease structures (Hak Sewa, Hak Pakai) provide legal frameworks for real estate utilization. From an investment perspective, the appeal of Hidirasa and Kecamatan Wera may be relevant primarily for those who believe in the province's long-term, quiet development trajectory and seek rural or coastal opportunities at lower entry prices — however, infrastructure and market risks are higher than in more developed regions.
Safety and security
Specific, settlement-level statistics or documented event records concerning safety and security in Hidirasa are not known from available sources. Kabupaten Bima and West Nusa Tenggara province generally fall within the range of average public safety levels for rural Indonesian regions, where daily life proceeds according to local community norms and traditions. In rural districts, including the Wera area, community cohesion is strong, and incidents related to serious crime are reported less frequently than in major cities. However, travelers and potential investors should consider that in peripheral areas, institutional infrastructure — including the density of law enforcement presence — is generally more modest than in urban centers. For the province as a whole, detailed, comparable criminal statistics on public safety are not available in this source material, so a more general, cautious assessment is recommended.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions for Hidirasa village appear in the available sources, so it is worth mentioning the more generally known aspects concerning the broader Kabupaten Bima region. Near Kabupaten Bima lies Mount Tambora, whose crater lake and natural environment are recognized natural attractions on Sumbawa island — though this location is administratively linked to border areas of Kabupaten Dompu and Kabupaten Bima, and lies at considerable distance from Hidirasa village. Due to Kecamatan Wera's coastal location, it presumably offers fishing and nature-related attractions, but specific information about named beaches, protected areas, or cultural sites cannot be extracted from the source material regarding the village. The cultural and historical heritage associated with Bima city (Kota Bima) — such as the traditions of the Bima Sultanate — should likewise be understood in the context of the broader region and does not constitute an attraction directly connected to Hidirasa village.
Summary
Hidirasa is one of the sparsely documented villages in Kecamatan Wera, Kabupaten Bima, on Sumbawa island, in West Nusa Tenggara province. According to 2020 data, Kabupaten Bima's population exceeded 532,000, with the regency as a whole being a relatively moderately developed, rural-character region. Hidirasa itself is neither a nationally recognized, developed destination from a tourism nor real estate market perspective; its characteristics, security conditions, and investment potential are best understood within the broader context of the regency and province. For those seeking the less frequented, quiet, rural Indonesia of the Lesser Sunda Islands, this region may be relevant, but detailed, location-specific information gathering requires on-site investigation.
