Oi Tui – a small village in Kabupaten Bima's Wera subdistrict, on eastern Sumbawa
Oi Tui is a small Indonesian village situated in Nusa Tenggara Barat (West Nusa Tenggara) province, in Kabupaten Bima, specifically within Wera subdistrict (kecamatan). It is located on the eastern part of Sumbawa island, within the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion. Based on its coordinates (-8.34° south latitude, 118.98° east longitude), it lies in the eastern, more mountainous and hilly areas of the island, east of Kota Bima. No independent, settlement-level data source is available for Oi Tui; the information presented below is based on verified data accessible at the Kabupaten Bima and Kota Bima levels, with clear indications of where the context shifts to regency or provincial level.
General overview
Oi Tui belongs to the administrative unit of Kecamatan Wera, which is one of the eastern subdistricts of Kabupaten Bima on Sumbawa island. Based on database coordinates, the village can be placed in the eastern, relatively sparsely populated region of the island. Kabupaten Bima itself – which must be administratively distinguished from the neighboring, independent Kota Bima – is an area spread across the eastern half of Sumbawa, characteristically built on agricultural and fishing activities. The local ethnic group, the Mbojo people (also called the Bima people), impart a distinctive character to the entire region through their own language and culture; Kota Bima is traditionally called Dana Mbojo by the Mbojo community. Oi Tui is presumably a small-population village community, subsisting mainly on self-sufficient agriculture and fishing, though direct, verified data on this is not available. Kota Bima's population figure as measured mid-2024 – 163,824 people, with a density of 694 persons/km² – indicates that the urban core is relatively densely populated, while the villages of Wera subdistrict, including presumably Oi Tui, form much smaller-population, more dispersed communities. Exact village-level demographic data, however, is not provided due to lack of sources.
Real estate and investment
No settlement-level, verified market data is available regarding Oi Tui's real estate market and investment opportunities. At the broader Kabupaten Bima and Nusa Tenggara Barat province level, however, several general trends are observable that provide context for the area. In West Nusa Tenggara province, the real estate market is generally far less developed than on neighboring Bali island, and the level of infrastructure development is also lower. In eastern, rural areas, real estate prices and development activity are typically more modest, with demand predominantly local in nature. For foreign nationals, the general regulations on real estate acquisition in Indonesia contain restrictions: foreign individuals generally cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to real property, but may only access real estate through specific, limited legal titles (e.g., Hak Pakai, or usufruct rights) or long-term rental arrangements. These rules apply uniformly across the entire country, and thus also apply to the territory of Oi Tui and Wera subdistrict. From an investment perspective, such small Indonesian villages may currently offer opportunities more for long-term, patient capital than for investors seeking immediate returns, though it should be emphasized that no specific market data whatsoever is available regarding Oi Tui.
Safety and security
No settlement-level statistics or verified sources are available regarding Oi Tui's public safety, so only general characteristics of the broader region can be presented. Nusa Tenggara Barat province, regarding smaller, rural communities, has traditionally been considered an area within Indonesia characterized by strong local community control and cohesion, where village order is maintained largely by local adat (customary law) and community norms. The region is not among Indonesia's areas notably burdened by conflict, though compared with other parts of the country, the development of basic services – including police infrastructure – in rural areas may be more moderate. No concrete statement regarding public safety affecting Oi Tui can be made due to lack of sources.
Tourist attractions
No named, verified sources are available regarding Oi Tui's direct appeal and tourist attractions. The broader Kabupaten Bima and Wera subdistrict area, however, possesses characteristic natural and cultural assets on eastern Sumbawa that contribute to the region's appeal. Kota Bima and the kabupaten territory are of interest from the perspective of Mbojo cultural heritage, and the region's maritime and mountainous natural environment may also attract attention. Based on Oi Tui's coordinates, it may be situated near the eastern coastline facing the Flores Sea, where the region's fish fauna and coral reefs may be valuable from an ecological diversity standpoint, though no settlement-level, verified source is available on this. No verified data are available on named attractions, restaurants, accommodations, or events in Wera subdistrict or Oi Tui, so these are not presented here.
Summary
Oi Tui is a poorly documented small Indonesian village community in Wera subdistrict of Kabupaten Bima, on the eastern part of Sumbawa island, in Nusa Tenggara Barat province. The broader region, Kabupaten Bima and Kota Bima, is characterized by Mbojo cultural heritage and natural assets. Due to the absence of independent, settlement-level sources on Oi Tui, the above presentation is confined to verified context at the regency and province levels. Its appearance on the Indo.Rent platform may be a signal that the area is gradually entering the real estate and housing market's purview, yet for any concrete decision, on-site investigation and involvement of reliable local legal and real estate specialists is recommended.
