Bedoho – a small settlement in Jiwan District, within Madiun Regency
Bedoho is a small village settlement (desa) in East Java Province (Jawa Timur), belonging to Jiwan District (Kecamatan Jiwan), situated within the administrative unit of Madiun Regency (Kabupaten Madiun). Based on its coordinates (-7.5837496, 111.4849735), it is located in the inland areas of Java, distant from both the coast and major tourist destinations. Madiun Regency is entirely landlocked, surrounded by Bojonegoro, Nganjuk, Ponorogo, Magetan, and Ngawi regencies, while Madiun city functions separately as an enclave within the regency. No independent, reliable source material about Bedoho at Wikipedia standard or equivalent currently exists in English or Hungarian, therefore the following discussion relies on verified data concerning the settlement's broader administrative framework—namely Madiun Regency—with this distinction clearly indicated throughout.
General overview
Bedoho is located within Jiwan District, one of the administrative units of Kabupaten Madiun. Madiun Regency has a total area of 1,113.63 km², and according to the 2020 census data, the regency's total population was 744,350 persons, with an official mid-2024 estimate of 737,875 inhabitants (comprising 365,305 males and 372,570 females). The regency's administrative seat—following a 2010 government regulation amended in 2019—was relocated from the historic city of Madiun to the Caruban city district (formerly Mejayan District), where most government buildings are currently located. The local administrative restructuring has been underway since the early 2010s. The region's inhabitants use the Mataraman Madiun dialect of the Javanese language in their daily interactions, a dialect that is phonetically and tonally closer to the Surakarta (Solo) variant. Bedoho itself, based on available data, is a smaller village community primarily based on agriculture and local economic activity, with regional significance and public recognition limited to the immediate area. No evidence of special industrial, manufacturing, or tourist designation has been identified.
Real estate and investment
Verified source data on settlement-level real estate market conditions specific to Bedoho are unavailable, therefore the following reflects the general market context of the broader Madiun Regency and East Java Province. The rural, inland character of Madiun Regency and its relatively modest economic infrastructure generally result in lower property price levels compared to the provincial capital Surabaya or the coastal and highland regions frequented by tourists. Demand for agricultural and residential properties originates primarily from local and regional markets, with foreign investor activity in the area being relatively uncommon. Under Indonesia's general land ownership regulations, foreign individuals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to Indonesian property; they have access to Hak Pakai (use rights) and in certain cases Hak Sewa (lease rights). This general regulatory framework applies equally to Bedoho and Madiun Regency as a whole. From an investment perspective, agricultural land and long-term rental properties are the most typical investment vehicles in rural inland Javan areas, though no specific market data for Bedoho is available for either category.
Safety and security
Reliable, verified settlement-level statistical data on Bedoho's public security situation is not available. Regarding the broader region—Madiun Regency and East Java Province generally—it may be stated that the province's inland rural areas are characterized by lower crime rates compared to major urban zones, and Madiun does not rank among particularly problematic public security areas. Nevertheless, this generalization does not substitute for reliable, locally-informed knowledge of Bedoho's specific situation. When planning travel or accommodation, it is advisable to consult current information from local authorities and relevant consular advisories.
Tourist attractions
No verified source data identifies any tourist attractions associated with Bedoho. Kabupaten Madiun is one of the less touristically developed inland areas of East Java Province, with its name primarily connected to the agricultural character of Javan inland regions. The regency's administrative restructuring and development of its new seat in Caruban have brought modest infrastructural improvements to the area in recent years, though this does not directly relate to Bedoho's vicinity. In other districts of the province—such as the highland zones of neighboring Magetan Regency—verified natural attractions and recreational sites are documented, but no source provides precise distance or relationship data between these and Bedoho. No reliable published data is available concerning local cultural events, festivals, or temples in the area.
Summary
Bedoho is a small Javan village settlement within Kecamatan Jiwan, in the landlocked Madiun Regency, East Java Province. In the absence of verified settlement-level sources, detailed demographic, tourist, or real estate market data cannot be reliably provided; the above presentation draws on information available at the broader Kabupaten Madiun level, with the original source level clearly indicated throughout. Madiun Regency is a medium-sized, inland region predominantly characterized by agriculture, with approximately 737,875 inhabitants as of mid-2024, and its administrative restructuring has taken place over the past decade and a half. Bedoho is a smaller unit within this region, with limited recognition beyond its immediate locality.
