Lemahbangdewo – village in the Kecamatan Rogojampi area, Kabupaten Banyuwangi
Lemahbangdewo is an Indonesian village (desa) located in East Java (Jawa Timur) province, within the administrative territory of Kabupaten Banyuwangi, under Kecamatan Rogojampi. Based on its coordinates (-8.3107573, 114.277684), the settlement lies in the eastern part of Java island, not far from Banyuwangi city. East Java province is one of the most densely populated regions in the Indonesian archipelago: according to the 2020 census, more than 40.6 million people live there. Kabupaten Banyuwangi itself is the largest regency by area in East Java, and also the largest such administrative unit on Java island.
General overview
No independent, settlement-level statistical or encyclopedic sources are currently available for Lemahbangdewo; therefore, the following description relies on the broader context of Kecamatan Rogojampi and Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Kecamatan Rogojampi is a district located in the central-eastern part of Banyuwangi regency, characterized — like many other areas of the kabupaten — by agricultural activity, primarily rice fields and plantation farming. Banyuwangi as a whole stretches along the Java–Bali Strait: the regency's eastern edge lies only a few kilometers from the narrowest point of the Bali Strait, which separates it from Bali island and measures approximately 2.29 kilometers wide. This geographical position means that the broader region of Lemahbangdewo is linked both to Java's internal cultural and agricultural traditions and is positioned close to Bali's tourism and economic sphere of influence. Kabupaten Banyuwangi as a whole is an ethnically mixed area: Javanese, Osing (a local Javanese ethnic group), Madurese, and Balinese communities are all present in different parts of the regency.
Real estate and investment
No public, settlement-level real estate market data is available for Lemahbangdewo. In the broader regional context of Kabupaten Banyuwangi, however, it can be noted that Banyuwangi has become one of the dynamically developing tourism regions of East Java over the past decade, resulting in increased real estate demand in certain areas of the regency. On indo.rent and other Indonesian real estate platforms, it can be observed that land prices and rental rates near Banyuwangi have risen noticeably due to infrastructure development and increased domestic tourism — however, this primarily affects areas closer to the city and major tourism hubs; regarding villages within Kecamatan Rogojampi, specific market data cannot support generalizations. It is important for foreigners to know that property acquisition regulations in Indonesia are restrictive: foreign individuals generally cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over land; construction options available to them include Hak Pakai (usage rights) or rental arrangements, the terms of which should always be discussed with local legal experts.
Safety and security
No published, verifiable public safety statistics are available for Lemahbangdewo. Based on the general assessment of Kabupaten Banyuwangi and East Java province, it can be said that rural, agricultural areas — such as most villages in Kecamatan Rogojampi — are typically peaceful, community-based environments where serious violent crimes are rare. However, this does not substitute for specific, current local information: those intending to relocate or spend extended time there are advised to contact the local community and the relevant authorities of Banyuwangi regency for up-to-date information. Public safety is generally not uniform at the provincial level: there can be differences between urban and rural areas, as well as within certain districts.
Tourist attractions
We are not aware of any verifiable tourist attraction linked to the name Lemahbangdewo. Kabupaten Banyuwangi as a whole is, however, one of East Java's prominent tourism regions: based on Wikipedia sources, the territory of the regency is home to Ijen Volcano (Gunung Ijen), one of the most famous natural attractions in the entire province, known particularly for its sulfuric acid crater lake and the blue flame phenomenon (blue fire) observable there. Ijen Volcano lies approximately 35–40 kilometers from Banyuwangi city, toward the interior of the regency — by comparison, Lemahbangdewo and Kecamatan Rogojampi fit into the eastern zone of the regency, closer to the city. Along the regency's coastline, several beaches are also notable, located on the eastern coastal section facing the Bali Strait. Since Lemahbangdewo itself is located within Kecamatan Rogojampi, and its coordinates point to an interior area relatively close to Banyuwangi city that is not particularly tourism-oriented, visitors to the village would primarily access the regency's larger attractions from this starting point.
Summary
Lemahbangdewo is an East Javanese desa that, as part of Kecamatan Rogojampi, belongs to Kabupaten Banyuwangi — in that region of Java island which borders Bali province to the east along the Bali Strait. Currently, verifiable data specific to the village is limited; the broader region ranks among East Java's most well-known tourism and agricultural zones, with its principal attractions — including Ijen Volcano — located in other parts of Kabupaten Banyuwangi. For questions concerning the real estate market and public safety, the regency-level context provides information, but before making settlement-level decisions, it is advisable to consult current, local sources.
