North Buton, Administrative region in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

North Buton encompasses six districts across 1,923 square kilometers, featuring varied landscapes from coastal areas to elevated terrains reaching 219 meters above sea level.

The regency gained autonomous status in 2007 through Indonesia's Law Number 14, separating from its parent region to form an independent administrative territory.

The regional motto 'Lipu Tinadeakono Sara' represents local principles, while traditional music performances and craft making remain central to community gatherings.

Buranga, the administrative center, provides governmental services and connects to other districts through local transportation networks across Kulisusu and surrounding areas.

The region records distinct rainfall patterns, with heavy precipitation from December through June and moderate to minimal rainfall between July and November.
