Jatitengah – a village in Sugihwaras district, in the eastern part of Kabupaten Bojonegoro
Jatitengah is a small settlement in East Java (Jawa Timur) province, located within Kabupaten Bojonegoro under the administrative district of Kecamatan Sugihwaras. Based on its coordinates (–7.2824° S, 111.9299° E), it is situated in the central-eastern part of Bojonegoro regency. The regency itself is known as the western gateway to East Java and borders directly Kabupaten Tuban to the north, Kabupaten Lamongan to the east, Kabupaten Jombang, Kabupaten Nganjuk, Kabupaten Madiun and Kabupaten Ngawi to the south, and Kabupaten Blora of Central Java to the west. Independent encyclopedic sources about Jatitengah are currently unavailable, so the following description relies on information at the broader Kabupaten Bojonegoro level, which is noted consistently throughout.
General overview
Jatitengah is one of the villages within Kecamatan Sugihwaras, which is integrated into the administrative system of Bojonegoro regency. The district itself extends across a relatively agrarian area, with patterns of agricultural and natural resource utilization typical of Bojonegoro regency as a whole. According to the 2020 census, the broader region of Kabupaten Bojonegoro has a population of 1,339,100 inhabitants, with a population density of 580 persons/km². The regency seat is located in the urban district of Kecamatan Bojonegoro. Kabupaten Bojonegoro is a region with a unique dual economic profile: on one hand, it is the fertile agricultural valley of the Bengawan Solo river; on the other hand, the region is also known for its significant petroleum and natural gas reserves. In this latter respect, the regency lies near the Blok Cepu oil field, which is one of Indonesia's most significant hydrocarbon deposits. Historically, the Telang inscription (903 CE) and the Sangsang inscription (907 CE) already mention an important local commodity called "lenga" (petroleum) in the area lying along the Bengawan river. Based on all this, the regency is also nicknamed "Tanah Begawan" (the land of the Begawan river). Jatitengah itself is situated within this broader economic environment, which is largely based on agriculture and natural resources; however, independent data about the village itself is not available.
Real estate and investment
Targeted real estate market data at the Jatitengah level are currently not available in public sources. Within the broader context of Kabupaten Bojonegoro, the region's real estate market is primarily built on local and Javanese buyers. Bojonegoro is an economic region defined by the petroleum and gas industry as well as agriculture (particularly tobacco and rice cultivation), which attracts certain infrastructure developments, while the real estate market is typically not driven by tourism demand, but rather adapted to the needs of local industry and agriculture. As a general Indonesian regulatory framework, it should be noted that foreign nationals cannot acquire direct land ownership (Hak Milik) in Indonesia; for them, the Hak Pakai (usage right) form is available, which is typically issued for 30 years and can be extended under specified conditions. From an investment perspective, Kecamatan Sugihwaras and Jatitengah within it are more relevant in terms of agricultural land use and possible local real estate acquisition than as a tourism or commercial investment market – this should be understood as a regency-level generalization, however, not as a specific statement about Jatitengah itself.
Safety and security
Publicly accessible, settlement-level statistics or detailed descriptions of public safety conditions in Jatitengah are not available. Generally, the rural village areas of Kabupaten Bojonegoro correspond to conditions typical of rural averages in East Java province: in smaller, agriculturally-oriented villages, daily life is typically stable, and strong local social networks in rural communities mitigate factors affecting the sense of security. Compared to major cities, risks stemming from traffic and urbanization are also lower. This is, however, a regency- and province-level generalization and does not substitute for specific, verifiable data about Jatitengah, which are currently unavailable.
Tourist attractions
Our sources contain no data on named tourist attractions directly associated with Jatitengah village. Within the broader area of Kabupaten Bojonegoro, however, Wikipedia sources indicate that the regency is known for its natural and cultural heritage tied to the Bengawan Solo river, as well as the industrial history of petroleum extraction, traces of which can be found throughout the region. Temples, natural areas, and landscapes along the river in Bojonegoro city and other parts of the regency form the basic elements of tourism offerings in the region, but the specific names of these, their distance from Jatitengah, and precise descriptions are not included in verified sources. Those wishing to inquire about tourism opportunities in the Kecamatan Sugihwaras area and around Jatitengah are advised to contact the local administration or the tourism service of Kabupaten Bojonegoro for the most current and accurate information.
Summary
Jatitengah is one of the villages within Kecamatan Sugihwaras in East Java province, located in Kabupaten Bojonegoro. The broader region is a regency with traditions of agriculture and the hydrocarbon industry, shaped for millennia by the Bengawan Solo river and the petroleum reserves hidden in its subsoil. Independent detailed data about the village – population, real estate market, attractions – are currently not available in public, verifiable sources, so the description relies on regency-level context. To gain a precise understanding of local conditions, on-site inquiry or contact with the competent authorities of the kabupaten is recommended.
