History

The history of Bojonegoro is unseparated with the history of Java itself. The area near the Solo River is very fertile and has been settled since early history by the Javanese. However, these settlements never developed into a major urban center, except for several coastal cities. Rather, villages are dependent on a weekly market which rotates among them and bakul (traveling pedlers) who collect and distribute agricultural and manufactured products among the villages. Javanese is a term used to describe a native of the Indonesian island of Java. ... Manufacturing is the transformation of raw materials into finished goods for sale, or intermediate processes involving the production or finishing of semi-manufactures. ...


The Bengawan Solo river played a major role in the development of these settlement. It acted as source of water and fertile soil, and a means of transportation.

Samin people

One of distinctive communuities in Bojonegoro is Samin people. They were ethnically indistinguishable from other Javanese people; however, they follow a unique communalism movement. Samin people are follower of Surosentiko Samin, a local farmer who preached pacifist resistance to Dutch colonial rule in the 1890s.[6] Samin was incited by acquisition of local teak forest by Dutch colonial authority. Dutch officials refused access to the forest for local people, as it was claimed as Dutch property. Rather than rising in a violent uprising, Samin taught peaceful resistance, such as refusing to pay taxes to the colonial authority, and continuing to take teak from the forest as they had for generations.[7] In many parts of the world, communalism is a modern term that describes a broad range of social movements and social theories which are in some way centered upon the community. ...

Badminton was either introduced by Dutch colonists or, more likely, by etnic Chinese. Ethnic Chinese in Sumatra introduced badminton from Malaya by inviting Chinese players in early 1930s. In the mid-1930s, a player from Batavia, Oei Kok Tjoan, visited cities in East Java on a number of occasions, raising the popularity of badminton. The game began to penetrate the small towns such as Tuban, Bojonegoro, Malang, and Jember, and became one of the most popular sports in Java.[10] The Chinese Indonesian (Mandarin: Yin du ni xi ya Huaren (Traditional: 印度尼西亞華人, Simplified: 印度尼西亚华人) Hakka: Thong ngin, Min: Teng lang, Indonesian: Tionghoa Indonesia, or (derisively) China totok) are citizens or residents of Indonesia of Chinese birth or descent, as a result of centuries of overseas Chinese migration. ...

Economy

Agriculture

Agriculture has been the regency's main product. The Bengawan Solo river provides fertile farming area for rice. The main crops are rice and tobacco, as well as maize. In 1984, the area of maize harvested reached 67,056 hectares with yields ranging from 1 to 1.28 t/ha.[15] A typical farmer grows rice in the rainy season, when water is abundant, and tobacco or maize in dry season. There is high risk in agriculture because of seasonal uncertainty. Rice growing will fail if the rainy season ends before its time, and tobacco growing will fail if rain comes early. Bengawan Solo may refer to: Bengawan Solo River, the longest river on the Indonesian island of Java, and the site of several notable paleoanthropology sites of early hominid remains Bengawan Solo, a famous Indonesian song about the Javanese river, composed in the 1940s by Gesang Martohartono Bengawan Solo, a baking...

However, teak forestry has faced a major problem in illegal logging, as with other parts of Indonesia. In 2001 alone, the area looted covered 3,000 ha; looters stole an estimated 27,000 trees. The regional police reported impounding 550 large trucks of stolen timber, approximately 2,000 m³, with an estimated local market value of total of US $1,000,000. Several riots has happened when tension arise from teak claims and when police tried to enforce the law on local thieves. There are even allegation that some riot was provocated by organized crime.[18] Illegal logging is the harvest, transportation, purchase or sale of timber in violation of national laws. ...

These riots were the worst during the period of turmoil between president Abdurrahman Wahid and Megawati Sukarnoputri in 2001.

Petroleum

The recent discovery of oil and gas fields in the area is providing new economic opportunities. Synthetic motor oil An oil is any substance that is in a viscous liquid state (oily) at ambient temperatures or slightly warmer, and is both hydrophobic (immiscible with water, literally water fearing) and lipophilic (miscible with other oils, literally fat loving). This general definition includes compound classes with otherwise unrelated... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


The oil/gas fields are found in several locations, including Banyu Urip, Alas Dara, Jambaran, Sukowati and Cendana. The Banyu Urip oil and gas field has detected oil reserves of over 250 million barrels, with peak production of about 165,000 - 170,000 barrels per day, accounting for 20 percent of the present national crude oil production.[19] The barrel is the name of several units of volume: Oil barrel: 42 U.S. gallons, 158. ...


The main exploration started officially when a cooperative contract signed on September 17, 2005 with Mobil Cepu Limited, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil as main operator. A Joint Operation Agreement (JOA) between state oil company Pertamina was signed in March 2006. Pertamina and ExxonMobil concluded 30-year production-sharing contract in which each company would share 45 percent interest in the block. The remaining 10 percent would go to the local governments.[20] Foreign companies, mainly from China, have started to invest in Bojonegoro in various projects related with the planned exploration and exploitation of the Cepu Block oil fields with total value of US$8 million.[21] According to the former minister and ambassador to the United States, Dorodjatun Kuntjoro-Jakti, Tuban and Bojonegoro would resemble Texas, because of its gas and oil resources.[22] September 17 is the 260th day of the year (261st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Communities in Bojonegoro has benefited from community development projects by foreign companies like ExxonMobil, which have built houses of worship, schools, and infrastructure.[23] However, oil production is becoming a source of controversy.


A number of Regional Representatives Council (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, DPD) members grouped in the People's Front for the Salvation of the Cepu Block (GRPBC) have called for the cancellation of the Joint Operation Agreement (JOA) between the government and ExxonMobil on the Cepu Block oil fields. They demand it to be cancelled because the agreement had been signed "in an atmosphere rife with suspected corruption, collusion and nepotism, and on the basis of a public lie" and will make the Indonesian government lose US$1.32 billion of revenue.[24] Oil drilling has also caused several accidents. On August 31, 2006, a gas leak in Sukowati-5 oil well released hydrogen sulfide gas to residential areas. At least 16 villagers had to be treated for suffocation because of the gas inhalation.[25] Indonesia has moved towards bicameralism by establishing the Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, most commonly called the DPD in the Indonesian media. ...

The environmental effects of the oil industry have became a concern of Bojonegoro residents. Some villagers claimed the presence of the oil well has not caused any improvement of the local economy and the village. Since the exploration of the Sukowati oil well in an area measuring five hectares in July 2005, the village's land has become drier and harvest significantly reduced.[26] There is also concern that income distribution inequality could cause social unrest, when compounded with the Indonesian notorious reputation of corruption.
