Pakisan – village in Tlogosari district, Bondowoso Regency, East Java
Pakisan is a small settlement in Indonesia's East Java Province (Jawa Timur), which administratively belongs to the Tlogosari district (Kecamatan Tlogosari) of Bondowoso Regency (Kabupaten Bondowoso). Based on its coordinates, the village is located in the eastern part of the island of Java, near approximately –8.056 latitude and 113.980 longitude. Jawa Timur Province is one of Indonesia's most populous and largest regions: with an area of 48,033 km², it has nearly 41.9 million inhabitants according to 2024 data. Independent, settlement-level statistical data concerning Pakisan is not available in the present source material, so the following description relies on the context of the broader region and Kabupaten-level information.
General overview
Pakisan is a rural-character, relatively little-known small settlement that falls within the administrative framework of Kecamatan Tlogosari within Kabupaten Bondowoso. Bondowoso Regency is situated in the interior, highland areas of East Java Province and is regarded as a characteristically agricultural region. The settlements in the area are generally oriented toward agricultural activities – primarily plantation farming, rice cultivation, and coffee production – which applies to many parts of Bondowoso Regency. Pakisan itself does not feature prominently in publicly accessible Indonesian tourism or economic records; from the available provincial-level sources, it can only be determined that Jawa Timur as a whole is a highly populated and economically active province, within which, however, smaller, interior-located villages typically possess modest infrastructure and lower external recognition. The Tlogosari district corresponds to a highland-hilly region, where the natural environment plays a defining role in daily life and the local economy.
Real estate and investment
Concrete local real estate market data concerning Pakisan is not available in the present source material. At the broader level of Bondowoso Regency and Jawa Timur Province, it can be stated that East Java Province is one of Indonesia's defining economic regions, contributing approximately 15 percent to the national GDP. However, this provincial-level economic performance is concentrated primarily in larger cities and more industrialized areas; interior, rural-located territories such as Bondowoso Regency typically show more moderate real estate market turnover and lower land prices compared to coastal or major urban regions. Important general information for foreign investors is that in Indonesia, direct ownership of arable land and residential property is legally restricted for foreigners: Hak Milik (full ownership rights) is reserved exclusively for Indonesian citizens, while for foreigners, for example, the institution of Hak Pakai (usage rights) or Hak Sewa (leasehold rights) can provide a legal framework. All these regulations apply throughout the country and are therefore valid for Pakisan and the territory of Bondowoso Regency.
Safety and security
Concrete public safety statistical data concerning Pakisan does not appear in the available sources. Generally speaking, in the rural, agriculturally-oriented interior regions of East Java Province – such as much of Bondowoso Regency – the level of common crime is typically lower than in densely populated urban areas. This is not a unique claim about Pakisan but rather a general observation concerning the interior, smaller village areas of the province, which should be treated cautiously, as controlled local-level data is not available. Travelers and those staying in the region should always make a point of inquiring with local authorities or current, official sources about actual conditions.
Tourist attractions
Tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of Pakisan are not specifically named in the available source material. The broader Bondowoso Regency and neighboring regions, however, are among the naturally diverse areas of East Java: within and near the Kabupaten's borders, highland landscapes, plantations, and volcanic topography characteristic of the region provide the natural backdrop. It should be noted that the nearby Ijen Plateau (Kawah Ijen), which is located at the border of the Banyuwangi and Bondowoso regions, is one of East Java's most well-known natural attractions; however, this destination is connected not directly to Pakisan but to the broader region, and visiting it requires separate travel. Verified data concerning local, Pakisan-specific temples, cultural sites, or regular festivals is not available.
Summary
Pakisan is a rural, small-scale East Javanese settlement located in the territory of Kabupaten Bondowoso, in Kecamatan Tlogosari. No independent, publicly accessible statistical or tourism source material exists concerning the village, so the characteristics of the broader region – Bondowoso Regency and Jawa Timur Province – provide context for the picture formed about the place. The province is economically significant; however, interior, rural areas such as Pakisan's region are primarily agricultural in character and possess more modest infrastructure. For foreigners, the general framework of Indonesian real estate regulations is applicable, and it is advisable to obtain information about any special local characteristics from current, local sources.
