Lore I has 2589 inhabitants (2015), of which 1248 are men and 1341 women. The population density is 19.4 inhabitants / km². There are 541 households in the Suco. Almost 96% of the population name Fataluku as their mother tongue. Almost 3% speak Tetum Prasa , minorities Tetum Terik or Dadu'a .

Before the 2015 regional reform, Lore I had an area of ​​133.77 km². Now there are 133.27 km². A poorly developed road from the coast of the Timor Sea connects Aldeia Lori with the municipal capital Lospalos. Most of the other places in sucos are on this street or on a few small side streets. The river Tchino , which forms the border with Lore II , Souro and Cacavei in the north, is spanned with a bridge. It is also called Tehino in its upper reaches . Its source is located in the border area between Lore I and Lore II. The Tchino opens into the Namaluto , the West boundary of the Sucos to the administrative office iliomar subdistrict with its Suco Fuat and after the inflow of the Irarau to Suco iliomar subdistrict I represents. A small road also leads from Lori to Iliomar, but it is not passable when it rains heavily. To the northeast of Lore I, across the Urunami River , lies the Suco Muapitine . A coastal plain extends to the west from Lore, initially narrow to Viqueque , then wider to the border with Indonesia . The area is characterized by coastal dry forests, mangrove forests and coastal grassland. Since the region is far away from the population centers of East Timor and relatively poorly accessible, the nature here is still largely untouched. The Ira Lafai spring is located in the west of Sucos .

A little north of the Ponta de Lore on the coast is Lori with one of three primary schools of Sucos. The second is in Maluro , north of Lore and a little further near Raca, the third. The villages of Vailana and Horolata ( Harolata ) are located near Lore . To the west of Maluro are the villages of Otcho-Tchau ( Ochochau , Otxo-Txa'u ) and Nualata and north of Raca Tchai ( Chai ) and Ilicoa (north of Raca). In the extreme east of Lore I lies the small town of Paio on the coast between the Urunami and Lapalapa rivers .

The place name Otcho-Tchau means "bracelet" and "head", here meaning "owner of bracelets". Traditionally, only residents of the region wore bracelets in the region.

In Lore I there are the six Aldeias Horolata , Maluro , Otcho-Tchau , Tchai , Titilari and Vailana .

An area around Lore with 10,906 hectares with its forest and the surrounding rice fields has been designated as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International . Here you can still find teak , sandalwood and bamboo , in which at least 24 protected bird species live, such as the green Timor pigeon or the yellow-cheeked cockatoo . The largest remaining coastal forest on the entire island of Timor is also located in this area, about 40 km south of Lospalos. In 2007 Lore I became part of the Nino Konis Santana National Park .

There is some fishing on the coast, but there are no boats. In addition, the population grows rice.

history

The first Europeans in the Lautém municipality were the Portuguese who built a fort in what is now Suco Lore I in the 17th or 18th century.

Between August 5 and 8, 1983, hundreds of members of armed militias ( Wanra , Hansip ) from Mehara , Lore, Leuro and Serelau deserted and joined FALINTIL . The Indonesians carried out punitive actions in their hometowns . Hundreds of women and others who were left behind were rounded up on trucks and interned for several months. Torture and rape occurred. Several hundred families were later forcibly relocated to the island of Atauro .
