Nglumber – a small settlement in Kecamatan Kepohbaru, Kabupaten Bojonegoro, East Java
Nglumber is a village-level settlement in Indonesia, forming part of the Kecamatan Kepohbaru administrative district within Kabupaten Bojonegoro regency in Jawa Timur (East Java) province. Based on its geographic coordinates (-7.1813526, 112.104272), the area is located in the northern-interior section of Java island. No independent, detailed Wikipedia-level source material exists for Nglumber, so the settlement is presented below on the basis of verifiable general context available at the Kepohbaru district, Kabupaten Bojonegoro, and Jawa Timur province levels. Throughout the text, it is clearly indicated when information relates to the broader administrative unit and not exclusively to Nglumber.
General overview
Nglumber may be counted among the smaller settlements of Kecamatan Kepohbaru, with agricultural land typically characterizing its immediate surroundings. Kabupaten Bojonegoro as a whole is located at the western edge of East Java province, bordering Jawa Tengah (Central Java) province, so the region may be understood as a kind of transition zone in cultural and economic terms. Bojonegoro regency is also known for its oil extraction activities, as one of Indonesia's most significant onshore oil production takes place through the Cepu Block field located here — however, this is primarily a regency-level economic characteristic and does not necessarily reflect Nglumber's direct assets. For Kepohbaru district and the smaller villages within it, rice and corn cultivation, as well as other agricultural activities, are generally characteristic. Nglumber itself is little known in tourism or investment circles; it is primarily the residence of the local community and an agricultural base. Jawa Timur province as a whole is the largest of the six Javanese provinces by area and ranks among Indonesia's most populous provinces: as of end 2024, it has a population of 41,919,906 and an area of 48,033 km².
Real estate and investment
No independent real estate market data exists for Nglumber. The broader context is provided by the Kabupaten Bojonegoro real estate market, where demand is primarily shown among local Indonesian buyers, and in rural-character areas — as Kepohbaru district may be considered — real estate prices are generally significantly lower than in the Surabaya agglomeration or other major urban areas. The economic life of Bojonegoro regency is partly connected to the oil and gas sector, which may generate certain investment activity in the regency seat and its immediate surroundings, however this typically has less impact on rural village real estate markets. As a general Indonesian regulatory framework, it should be noted that foreign nationals in Indonesia generally cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over property; for them, Hak Pakai (use rights) or long-term leasing arrangements are available, with legal frameworks determined by applicable Indonesian land laws. This general regulation applies equally to Nglumber and the territory of Kabupaten Bojonegoro.
Safety and security
No concrete, source-based statistical data on security in Nglumber is available. In rural, agricultural interior areas of Kabupaten Bojonegoro and East Java province generally, the public safety situation is generally considered calm based on descriptions available at the province level; compared to large urban agglomerations — such as Surabaya — smaller villages typically record lower numbers of criminal incidents, although source-based data specific to Nglumber cannot be provided. Jawa Timur province as a whole, including Bojonegoro regency, ensures public order through the customary local police (Polres) structure. Travelers and potential investors are advised to seek local orientation and monitor current official information.
Tourist attractions
No source-based tourist attractions specific to Nglumber could be identified. At the Kabupaten Bojonegoro level, however, it is known that the regency territory contains several visitable natural and cultural sites that are familiar to tourists visiting the region — these are typically located closer to the regency seat or other busier district centers, not necessarily in the immediate vicinity of Nglumber. Bojonegoro regency is generally known for its location along the Bengawan Solo river, as well as for the aforementioned oil industry heritage. Should someone wish to visit natural or cultural attractions near Kecamatan Kepohbaru or Nglumber, it is advisable to consult Kabupaten Bojonegoro's local tourism information or the kecamatan-level municipal administration for the most current and accurate on-site information.
Summary
Nglumber is a small, agricultural-character settlement in East Java province, forming part of Kecamatan Kepohbaru and Kabupaten Bojonegoro. In the absence of independent, detailed source material, the presentation of the settlement relies primarily on generally available context from broader administrative units — the regency and the province. Jawa Timur province is one of Indonesia's most populous and economically significant regions, within which Bojonegoro regency plays a role through oil extraction and agriculture. For Nglumber, both real estate market and tourist appeal are primarily to be understood at local and regional scale, and local orientation is essential for interested parties.
