Nisa – village in Woha district, Bima regency, on Sumbawa Island
Nisa is an Indonesian settlement located on Sumbawa Island, belonging to Woha district (Kecamatan Woha) in Bima regency (Kabupaten Bima) within West Nusa Tenggara province (Nusa Tenggara Barat, abbreviated NTB). Geographically, it is classified as part of the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion, and based on its coordinates (-8.5927, 118.6972), it lies in the broader Bima Bay region. Since no specific Wikipedia source about Nisa is available, this description applies the generally known data and relationships of the broader region — the province and regency — to characterize the settlement more comprehensively, always clearly indicating the level of these data.
General overview
Nisa is a small, agriculturally oriented rural settlement for which detailed statistical data is currently not publicly available. Woha district is one of the kecamatan (subdistricts) of Bima regency, and the regency itself extends across the eastern part of Sumbawa Island. West Nusa Tenggara province had approximately 5,666,314 inhabitants as of mid-2024, with the decisive majority living on the two main islands, Lombok and Sumbawa. Sumbawa is inhabited primarily by the Bima (Mbojo) and Sumbawa ethnic groups, and these communities determine local culture, customs, and daily life in Bima regency as well. The Bima region is known for its relatively dry, monsoon-influenced climate, rice fields, and small-scale plantation agriculture. The settlements in Woha district generally depend on agriculture and small-scale trade; proximity to Bima city influences, to some extent, the economic relations of villages belonging to the district. Based on its location, Nisa has a similar rural character, though more precise characterization cannot be provided due to the absence of specific local data.
Real estate and investment
Publicly available separate data on Nisa's real estate market are unknown. The real estate market in the broader environment — Kabupaten Bima and Nusa Tenggara Barat province — is considerably less developed compared to the capital Mataram and well-known tourist destinations, particularly Lombok, and is primarily regarded as a rural market serving local needs at lower price levels. Investment activity at the regency level is also moderate, focusing mainly on agricultural land and smaller residential properties. An important general framework from an investment perspective is that in Indonesia, foreign nationals are not permitted direct land ownership (Hak Milik); the available property rights available to them — such as Hak Pakai (right of use) or property acquisition through a company — offer limited and conditional possibilities. This general regulatory framework applies to Bima regency, and thus to the Nisa area as well. In rural, small villages, investment potential must typically be calculated with longer payback periods, and knowledge of local regulations, including possible desa (village-level) regulations, is essential.
Safety and security
No specific public safety statistics for Nisa and Woha district are available in this source material. In general terms, rural areas of West Nusa Tenggara province — including the eastern part of Sumbawa, the Bima regency area — are considered relatively low-crime areas compared to the Indonesian average, where community-based social organization and local customary law play important roles in maintaining daily order. However, as in every rural Indonesian region, road quality, infrastructure conditions, and healthcare accessibility are factors that may influence local sense of security. For visitors, generally applicable precautions — secure handling of valuables, familiarization with local conditions — are also pertinent here. For precise local data, it is advisable to consult regency-level police or government sources.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not contain specific tourist attractions directly linked to Nisa. The broader Bima region, however, possesses numerous well-known natural and cultural landmarks accessible from Woha district. The Bima Bay area and the Mount Tambora volcano, located in the nearby Dompu regency territory — whose 1815 eruption was one of the world's most devastating volcanic events — is one of the most frequently mentioned natural historical sites in the region. In Bima city, the administrative center of the regency, the former palace of the Bima Sultanate (Asi Mbojo) is a well-known location of local history and culture. Sape, a port city also in Bima regency, is known as one of the departure points for ferry services heading toward Komodo National Park. These landmarks are not located directly in Nisa, but are linked to the regency's territory and its immediate surroundings, and are accessible by car from Woha district.
Summary
Nisa is a small-sized rural Indonesian settlement belonging to Woha district in Bima regency, West Nusa Tenggara province, in the eastern part of Sumbawa Island. No independent, detailed statistical source about the village is currently available, so this description necessarily relies on the generally known characteristics of the broader region — the province and regency. The Bima region is a rural, agriculturally oriented area with moderate tourism and real estate market activity, its culture shaped by the traditions of the local Mbojo (Bima) ethnic group. For those interested, the most accurate and up-to-date information can be obtained from sources of the regency and local authorities.
