Dolokgede – a small settlement in Kecamatan Tambakrejo, Kabupaten Bojonegoro, East Java
Dolokgede is a village in Kabupaten Bojonegoro (Bojonegoro Regency) within East Java (Jawa Timur) province, Indonesia, and forms part of Kecamatan Tambakrejo (Tambakrejo District). Based on its coordinates (-7.2572792, 111.6988641), it is located in the inland, terrestrial area of the regency. According to Wikipedia, Kabupaten Bojonegoro lies approximately 110 km west of Surabaya and roughly 73 km northeast of Ngawi, and extends mainly along the southern bank of Java's longest river, the Solo river (Bengawan Solo). Dolokgede itself does not have widely documented and detailed references, so the description below relies primarily on verified data and context at the level of Kecamatan Tambakrejo and Kabupaten Bojonegoro.
General overview
Dolokgede is a relatively small inland East Javanese settlement that is poorly documented in public and tourism literature and belongs to the administrative unit of Kecamatan Tambakrejo. The broader Kabupaten Bojonegoro, according to Wikipedia data, covers an area of 2,307.06 km² and had an official estimated population of 1,366,227 in mid-2024, comprising 686,426 males and 679,801 females. This regency was formerly known for teak and tobacco production; today, however, it is primarily brought to national attention through its oil industry: the oil field discovered in the area represents the largest oil discovery in Indonesia over the past three decades and is one of the country's most significant petroleum reserves. Dolokgede, as one of the inland villages belonging to Kecamatan Tambakrejo, likely benefits from regency-level infrastructure development induced by the oil industry and growing population, though no settlement-level sources are available specifically about this village.
Real estate and investment
No independent settlement-level real estate market data is publicly available for Dolokgede, so the context of the broader Kabupaten Bojonegoro serves as the reference below. According to Wikipedia, the regency has become one of the new focal points of Indonesian oil production, which generally generates increased economic activity, infrastructure investment, and a certain level of real estate demand in the region. Such raw material extraction projects typically exert their strongest impact on the real estate market in urban centers and near logistics hubs; in smaller villages—such as Dolokgede—this impact is more indirect and difficult to measure. Under the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreign natural persons cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of real estate in Indonesia; for them, Hak Pakai (usage rights) or long-term lease constructions are available, and understanding the legal framework of these arrangements is essential before any investment decision. These general rules apply to Kabupaten Bojonegoro and thus to Dolokgede as well.
Safety and security
No independent, authenticated statistical data on safety and security in Dolokgede is available. Generally speaking, Kabupaten Bojonegoro exhibits the public safety profile typical of inland, agricultural and industrial areas in East Java. East Java as a province is one of Indonesia's most populous and developed regions, where law enforcement operates within organized frameworks, though conditions may vary from settlement to settlement and circumstance to circumstance. In smaller villages located in inland areas, local community traditions (gotong royong) and neighborhood self-organization typically play a role in maintaining everyday public safety. These statements, however, are general observations and not verified claims specific to Dolokgede.
Tourist attractions
Dolokgede itself does not appear in known tourism sources, and based on available documentation, the village has no widely recognized attractions. In the context of the broader Kabupaten Bojonegoro, the primary feature identifiable from Wikipedia sources is the Solo river (Bengawan Solo), Java's longest river, along whose southern bank much of the regency extends. This river itself holds natural and cultural significance in Javanese traditions. The regency was also formerly known for its extensive teak plantations, which form part of the inland East Javanese landscape. Due to Dolokgede's location within Kecamatan Tambakrejo, visitors would seek out the broader regency-level natural and cultural assets, though more detailed and authenticated data on their exact distance and accessibility is not available.
Summary
Dolokgede is a documented but not extensively detailed small settlement in Kecamatan Tambakrejo of Kabupaten Bojonegoro, East Java. Facts known at the regency level—including the proximity of the Solo river, the historical past of teak and tobacco production, and the currently ongoing oil industry of national significance—provide the geographic and economic context in which Dolokgede fits. In the absence of independent settlement-level data, a detailed description of the village would only be possible from on-site or official sources. For those planning to visit the area or invest there, consultation with Kabupaten Bojonegoro regency-level information sources and local authorities is recommended.
