Cokrowati – small settlement in the northern coastal district of Kabupaten Tuban
Cokrowati is a village in East Java (Jawa Timur) province, within the administrative territory of Kabupaten Tuban, belonging to the Kecamatan Tambakboyo district. Based on its coordinates (-6.834049, 111.816615), it is located near the North Java coastal area. Kabupaten Tuban lies on the border between Jawa Timur and Jawa Tengah provinces, along the so-called Jalur Pantura (northern coastal main road), and is characterized by the dry to semi-arid climate typical of the region. No independent, village-level sources are available for Cokrowati itself; the description below relies on verifiable data and context at the district and regency levels.
General overview
Cokrowati belongs to the Kecamatan Tambakboyo administrative unit, which is among the five districts of Kabupaten Tuban that lie directly on the Java Sea coast – according to Wikipedia sources, the coastal areas comprise Kecamatan Bancar, Kecamatan Tambakboyo, Kecamatan Jenu, Kecamatan Tuban, and Kecamatan Palang. This means that Tambakboyo district, and presumably Cokrowati as well, lies in an area close to the coast, although the exact distance cannot be determined from sources. Kabupaten Tuban has a total land area of 1,839 km², a marine area of 22,608 km², and a coastline length of 65 km. The regency's elevation above sea level ranges between 0 and 500 meters, and the area has a dry or semi-dry climate across 19 districts; only a single district has a wetter climate. By the end of 2023, the regency had a population of 1,258,368, whose majority depend on agriculture, fishing, and small-scale trade. Cokrowati, with its modest rural character, presumably fits into this agrarian-dominated rural picture, although direct data on this is not available. Tuban regency's seat is located approximately 100 km north-northwest of Surabaya and about 210 km east of Semarang, which defines the region's broader geographical context.
Real estate and investment
No independent, village-level real estate market data is available for Cokrowati; the following presents the general context of Kabupaten Tuban and the broader region. Kabupaten Tuban is located in the western, border region of Jawa Timur province, and due to its proximity to the Jalur Pantura – the national main road running along the North Java coast – it is considered a strategically positioned area for logistics and industry. This generally has a favorable effect on the regency's industrial and commercial real estate market, particularly in villages near the highway. Agricultural and fishing areas are also present in the district's coastal zones. Under Indonesian land law, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property in Indonesia; for them, primarily Hak Pakai (use rights) and Hak Sewa (lease rights) forms are available, along with long-term rental arrangements. Before making an investment decision, it is always advisable to consult with a local legal expert, as regulatory details may vary from district to district, and land intended for agricultural purposes may be subject to separate restrictions.
Safety and security
No specific, verifiable public safety statistics are available for Cokrowati. Rural districts in Kabupaten Tuban and the broader Jawa Timur region generally exhibit the public safety characteristics typical of small rural communities, which are usually marked by lower crime intensity compared to urban areas – however, this is a general, source-based statement and not data directly concerning Cokrowati. Responsibility for maintaining local public order rests with district police units, which are integrated into the administrative structure extending across the entire regency. For specific safety assessments, local authorities or the relevant administrative bodies of Kabupaten Tuban can provide current and reliable information.
Tourist attractions
Cokrowati does not appear in available sources as an independent tourist destination, and no named attractions are directly linked to it. Based on the broader Kecamatan Tambakboyo's proximity to the coast, it can be assumed that the district is near the Java Sea coast, but no specific beach or natural attraction name can be verified from sources for this area. Kabupaten Tuban as a whole, however, constitutes an area of interest in several respects: according to source material, Tuban historically functioned as one of the major ports of the Majapahit Empire and was an important site in the religious history tradition associated with the Walisongo (the nine Islamic preachers) and their activities on Java. For this reason, religious and cultural heritage sites can be found in the regency seat and its vicinity, although their exact names and accessibility from Cokrowati cannot be provided from sources. The Bengawan Solo River also passes through the regency's territory, originating from the Wonogiri district and flowing into the Java Sea near Gresik, and it is one of the symbolically important waterways in Javanese cultural history.
Summary
Cokrowati is a small, rural village in East Java, within Kecamatan Tambakboyo district, in Kabupaten Tuban near the coast. The broader context of the regency – its strategic position along the Pantura route, its coastal location, its historical and religious heritage, and its transitional role on the border between Jawa Timur and Jawa Tengah – delineates the framework within which the settlement fits. In the absence of direct, village-level data, it is not possible to provide a detailed characterization of Cokrowati; to acquire more precise local knowledge, it is advisable to consult local sources, the district administration, or the authorities of Kabupaten Tuban.
