Lingkok Berenge is an Indonesian village (desa) located in Janapria District (Kecamatan Janapria) within Central Lombok Regency (Kabupaten Lombok Tengah). Administratively, it falls under West Nusa Tenggara Province (Nusa Tenggara Barat), which encompasses the western portion of the Lesser Sunda Islands. According to its coordinates, the settlement is situated in the south-central area of Lombok Island, close to the island's interior agricultural zones. In broader geographic classification, it forms part of the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macro-region.
General overview
Detailed published statistical or encyclopedic data about Lingkok Berenge as an independent settlement is not available. Accordingly, the following observations are based on information at the Kecamatan Janapria and Kabupaten Lombok Tengah levels, as well as provincial context. Janapria District is located in the central-southern portion of Lombok Island, and—in keeping with the character of the regency—is predominantly considered an agricultural, rural area. Kabupaten Lombok Tengah is one of Lombok's most significant administrative units: it encompasses the island's southern coast, where more developed tourist areas are found, while the interior, non-coastal zones, including Janapria District, characteristically consist of villages connected to the traditional way of life of the local Sasak communities. At the provincial level, Sasak culture represents Lombok's defining cultural heritage: according to the Wikipedia article on West Nusa Tenggara Province, this culture continues to preserve its own local customs and arts. Interior Lombok villages are generally small agricultural communities sustained through rice and tobacco cultivation, as well as animal husbandry. Specific population figures or areal data for Lingkok Berenge cannot be provided from available sources.
Real estate and investment
Independent real estate market data specific to Lingkok Berenge is not available. At the level of Kabupaten Lombok Tengah and West Nusa Tenggara Province, however, several general patterns can be described. In the province, real estate development is primarily concentrated in coastal and tourism-active areas—such as Lombok's southern coast, where intensive development activity has been observed over recent decades. In interior, non-coastal, rural districts, to which Kecamatan Janapria belongs, the real estate market is considerably less active, values are typically lower, and demand is mainly restricted to local agricultural land and residential property. The general Indonesian legal framework establishes that foreign citizens cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over land or property in Indonesia: available to them are Hak Pakai (use rights) and Hak Sewa (lease rights) forms, with long-term rental arrangements. From an investment perspective, rural interior areas—likely including the Lingkok Berenge zone—are not currently the focus of active foreign or tourism-oriented real estate development in the province.
Safety and security
Public security statistics or police data specific to Lingkok Berenge are not available. West Nusa Tenggara Province and within it Lombok Island are generally considered areas where everyday safety in villages is relatively stable. Rural, agriculturally-oriented interior districts—such as the Kecamatan Janapria area—characteristically demonstrate lower tourist traffic and accordingly lower exposure to tourism-related crime compared to coastal, more developed tourism zones. However, this observation should be treated only as general regional context, since available source material contains no specific public security assessment data for Lingkok Berenge. In accordance with generally applicable recommendations in Indonesia, travelers can seek current safety information from local authorities or the country's consular representatives.
Tourist attractions
No sourced data is available regarding named tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of Lingkok Berenge. The broader region—Kabupaten Lombok Tengah and West Nusa Tenggara—offers numerous well-known tourist attractions, which are also mentioned in the province's Wikipedia article. On Lombok's southern coast is Kuta Beach (Lombok), one of the province's most famous surfing spots. The province's highest point and one of its most significant natural attractions is Mount Rinjani volcano (3726 meters), which as an active volcano and trekking destination attracts visitors from across Indonesia. The Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno) off Lombok's coast likewise rank among the country's popular tourist destinations, known for their coral reefs and clear waters. Regarding Lombok's cultural heritage, Sade Village is regarded as a preserved example of traditional Sasak architecture and way of life. These attractions, however, are typically located at considerable distance from Janapria District and cannot be considered tourist sites in Lingkok Berenge's immediate vicinity.
Summary
Lingkok Berenge is a small, rural settlement on the interior of Lombok Island, in Janapria District of Kabupaten Lombok Tengah, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The available source material describes the region's natural, cultural, and tourist characteristics at provincial level, but independent, detailed information about the specific village is not available.
