Bombana Regency

Bombana Regency spans over 3,293 square kilometers, encompassing both the southeastern peninsula of Sulawesi and the offshore island of Kabaena to the south.

The territory was established as an independent regency on December 18, 2003, following its separation from Buton Regency, which previously administered most regional islands.

The regional population of 163,402 residents includes several ethnic groups such as Tolaki, Butonese, and Muna, each maintaining their traditional customs and practices.

Transportation within the regency relies primarily on ferries and small boats, as there are no direct highway connections to other parts of Sulawesi.

The regency contains 22 districts with 121 rural villages and maintains an average elevation of 170 meters above sea level throughout its varied terrain.
