Southeast Sulawesi (Indonesian: Sulawesi Tenggara) is a province on the island of Sulawesi, forming the southeastern peninsula of that island, together with a number of substantial offshore islands such as Buton, Muna, Kabaena and Wawonii (formerly called Wowoni), together with many smaller islands. The capital is the city of Kendari, on the east coast of the peninsula.

The province has no highway road connecting to the rest of the island, and the primary transportation link is a ferry across the Bone Gulf between Watampone (Bone) in South Sulawesi and the port of Kolaka in Southeast Sulawesi.

History[edit]

From the seventeenth century until the early twentieth century, the region was the site of the Buton Sultanate [zh] (Butung).[citation needed]

Geography[edit]

The two major mountain ranges in Southeast Sulawesi are the Tanggeasinua Range and the Mekongga Range.[2] The major rivers are the Lalinda, the Lasolo, and the Sampara.[2][3]

Demographics[edit]

The population of the province was 2,232,586 at the 2010 decennial census (1,120,225 males, and 1,110,344 females), increasing to 2,624,875 at the 2020 Census.[4] The official estimate as at mid 2021 was 2,659,156.[5] Konawe Selatan, Konawe, Kolaka and Muna are the four most populous regencies. Islam is the predominant religion (96,2%).

A third of the population is centered on Buton and Muna islands off the south coast of Sulawesi, and another 15% live in and around Kendari.

In 2013 the Indonesian Government enacted the creation of 11 new Regencies and Municipalities, including the following in Southeast Sulawesi:

Subsequently, on 24 June 2014, the Indonesian Parliament agreed to create three more new regencies: West Muna Regency, South Buton Regency and Central Buton Regency based on consideration of technical, administrative, area, strategic and geopolitic factors.[8]

These regencies and cities are tabulated below, with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[9] and the 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2021.[10] The table also includes the location of the regency/city headquarters and their Human Development Index.
