Campursalam – a small settlement in Kecamatan Parakan, in the heart of Kabupaten Temanggung
Campursalam is an Indonesian village (desa or dusun level settlement) located in Kabupaten Temanggung in Central Java, specifically within Kecamatan Parakan. Based on its coordinates, it is situated in a highland area characteristic of south-central Java. The regency capital is located in Kecamatan Temanggung Kota district, and Kabupaten Temanggung borders several adjacent kabupatens: Kabupaten Kendal to the north, Kabupaten Semarang to the east, Kabupaten Magelang to the south, and Kabupaten Wonosobo to the west. Campursalam itself does not have an independent Wikipedia article, so the following description is based primarily on verified sources at the broader regency level and generally reliable geographical knowledge, with clear indication of where broader district information is referenced.
General overview
No independent, verified database exists for the settlement of Campursalam, so the following description applies to the level of Kecamatan Parakan and Kabupaten Temanggung. Kecamatan Parakan is one of the districts of Kabupaten Temanggung, with its administrative center functioning as one of the busier small towns in the highland region of Central Java. Kabupaten Temanggung as a whole is an agriculturally-oriented, predominantly rural regency in Jawa Tengah province: its economy has traditionally been characterized by tobacco, tea, and coffee plantations, as well as vegetable production. According to 2022 data, the regency's total population was 799,764. The highland character of the region is explained by the presence of several volcanic masses in Kabupaten Temanggung – one of these is located near Gunung Sumbing and Gunung Sindoro, which rise along the border between Temanggung and adjacent kabupatens. Campursalam, being located in Kecamatan Parakan, likely participates in the district's agricultural and small commercial activities, but no specific settlement-level data on this is available.
Real estate and investment
No independent real estate market data specifically for Campursalam is publicly available, so the following reflects the broader context of Kabupaten Temanggung and Jawa Tengah province. Kabupaten Temanggung generally cannot be counted among regions characterized by high tourist traffic or intensive foreign investment activity – rather, it is a traditional agricultural regency where real estate prices and investment activity operate at significantly lower levels than, for example, the Bali or Yogyakarta markets. The general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations applicable to foreign citizens is uniform throughout the country: as a general rule, foreigners cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) in real estate; however, under certain conditions they may enter into contracts in the form of Hak Pakai (usage rights) or Hak Sewa (lease rights). This regulatory framework applies equally to Campursalam and all of Kabupaten Temanggung. The local real estate market is built primarily on domestic buyers and local agricultural land transactions.
Safety and security
No specific public safety statistics or documented data exist for Campursalam, so this section likewise presents the generally characteristic situation of the broader region, appropriately framed with caution. The rural and highland areas of Kabupaten Temanggung and Jawa Tengah province generally constitute, based on available general knowledge, relatively peaceful, village-character settings. In small villages – which Campursalam likely is – strong community cohesion and dense neighborly relations traditionally form the informal basis of local order and security. Nevertheless, it is not possible to comment on any specific criminal characteristics, incident statistics, or police data due to the absence of available source material, and Campursalam is no exception to this limitation.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions specifically linked to Campursalam can be identified from available sources. However, across the broader Kabupaten Temanggung area, the highland landscape itself constitutes an attraction: the volcanic masses of Gunung Sumbing and Gunung Sindoro, which are located at or near the regency's border, rank among Jawa Tengah's known natural sites and are regular destinations for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Kecamatan Parakan's district center itself possesses a local market and built cultural-religious heritage typical of Javanese small towns (mosques, markets, local public institutions), though no source-verified data specifically tied to Campursalam is available regarding these features. For those interested, the nearby city of Temanggung (Kecamatan Temanggung Kota), being the regency capital, possesses facilities befitting that status and can serve as a logistical starting point for exploring the surrounding area.
Summary
Campursalam is a small Javanese settlement belonging to Kecamatan Parakan in Kabupaten Temanggung, Jawa Tengah province. Due to the absence of independent, verified source material, detailed presentation of the settlement is limited: available information is based on regency-level data for a population of 799,764, characterized by highland and agricultural features. The region's character is defined by tobacco production, volcanic highland landscape, and traditional Javanese village life. For foreigners, the general framework of Indonesian real estate regulations applies; the local market is built primarily on domestic demand. From a tourism perspective, the broader Kabupaten Temanggung environment – particularly the volcanic ranges – holds appeal, while Campursalam itself can be described as an unremarkable but integral point in the everyday fabric of Javanese village life and the region's composition.
