Klatak – a small settlement in the easternmost corner of East Java, near the Bali Strait
Klatak is a smaller Indonesian settlement (administrative unit at desa or dusun level) belonging to Kecamatan Kalipuro, within Kabupaten Banyuwangi in East Java (Jawa Timur) Province. Based on its coordinates, the settlement is located in the easternmost part of Java Island, in the Tapal Kuda region, close to the Bali Strait, which separates Java from the island of Bali. Kabupaten Banyuwangi itself is the largest regency by area in East Java, and also the third-largest administrative unit on Java Island. No independent settlement-level Wikipedia source is available for Klatak; the following description is based on verifiable data at regency and district level, a distinction that the text notes throughout.
General overview
Klatak belongs to the administrative unit Kecamatan Kalipuro, located in the northern part of Kabupaten Banyuwangi. According to data for the regency as a whole, Banyuwangi had a population of approximately 1,769,234 as of mid-2023, and the regency ranks among East Java's most populous rural districts. A significant portion of the local society is composed of the so-called Osing or Wong Blambangan ethnic group, which as a Javanese subethnic group exhibits strong Balinese cultural influences—the term "Osing" itself derives from the Balinese word "tusing," meaning "not." Klatak itself is a relatively modest-sized, agriculturally and rurally oriented community; no source currently available contains information suggesting particular tourist prominence or industrial concentration specific to this settlement. Kecamatan Kalipuro as a whole is adjacent to the regency seat, Banyuwangi city, which implies a certain degree of administrative and infrastructural proximity; however, without reliable and verifiable data on Klatak's internal structure, traffic nodes, or economic profile, a detailed description cannot be provided in fact-based terms.
Real estate and investment
No independent real estate data specific to Klatak is publicly available; real estate market contexts can therefore be understood only within the broader Kabupaten Banyuwangi-level and East Javanese processes. The Banyuwangi regency has undergone intensifying tourist and infrastructural development over the past decade—the Ketapang port, which provides the principal ferry connection between Java and Bali, is located within regency territory, and due to traffic heading toward Bali, demand for transit-function real estate remains persistently high in the northern belt of the regency near Kecamatan Kalipuro. Generally speaking, Banyuwangi is one of the regions with more favorable land prices by Javanese standards, though prices vary considerably depending on proximity to Bali and accessibility. For foreign nationals, Indonesian land law (Agraria Law) generally prohibits the acquisition of full ownership rights (Hak Milik) by non-Indonesian persons; foreign private individuals typically access land use through lease arrangements (Hak Sewa) or legally regulated nominal ownership constructs. Before any investment decision, consultation with a local legal expert is strongly advised. No verifiable data is currently available concerning Klatak's specific land prices, development projects, or rental market.
Safety and security
No independent public safety statistics or local police data specific to Klatak are publicly available. The broader region, Kabupaten Banyuwangi and Kecamatan Kalipuro, presents a general picture typical of routine East Javanese rural areas: rural communities are generally characterized by relatively low levels of violent crime, while minor property offenses and traffic problems may occur, particularly near major traffic nodes. Since the regency encompasses one of the most important Java–Bali crossing points, the routes leading to the port may experience more intense traffic and various logistical activities. Standard precautions generally applicable—careful handling of valuables, respect for local customs—are advisable in Banyuwangi territory, thus also in Kecamatan Kalipuro. However, due to lack of sources, no well-founded statement can be made concerning Klatak's specific security situation, police presence, or recent events.
Tourist attractions
No independently identifiable tourist attraction known from sources is attributed to Klatak. The broader Kabupaten Banyuwangi ranks as an outstanding regency for East Java and Indonesian tourism generally, with numerous verifiable sites of interest at various points across the regency. Located within regency territory is the Ketapang port, which serves the ferry routes between Java and Bali and is itself a busy crossing point. The Banyuwangi regency as a whole is known for the Kawah Ijen volcanic crater lake, the Meru Betiri and Alas Purwo national parks, and traditional festivals connected to Osing cultural heritage; however, no reliable data recorded in separate sources exists concerning the precise distance between these attractions and the settlement named Klatak or any direct connection. Kecamatan Kalipuro, due to its northern location, lies close to the regency seat, Banyuwangi city, making urban infrastructure and services available to the area; this alone, however, says nothing about Klatak's specific tourist appeal.
Summary
Klatak is a small, rurally oriented settlement in East Java, within the administrative district of Kecamatan Kalipuro, in Kabupaten Banyuwangi territory. As the easternmost tip of Java, the regency faces the Bali Strait, and the regency itself—by virtue of its extent, population, and the strategic role of Ketapang port—constitutes one of the determining territorial units of East Java. No independent, verifiable source material is currently available for Klatak; therefore, a fact-based detailed characterization of the settlement in demographic, economic, or tourist terms cannot be provided; the above description rests solely on verifiable data accessible at regency and district level.
