Map of Indonesia (central)

 

Map of Indonesia (central) with surrounding areas. - Landkarte von Indonesien (Mitte). - Mapa de Indonesia (central). - Carte de l'Indonésie (centre).

 



Indonesia's capital is Jakarta, which is also the biggest city of the country. Flights to Indonesia usually go to either Bali or Jakarta. Most people live in Java (Jawa), other important islands are Sumatra (Sumatera), Borneo (Kalimantan), Sulawesi, Halmahera, Neuguinea (Irian Jaya), Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, Alor, Wetar and Timor (West).
In the centre of Indonesia is located the island of Borneo (the Indonesian part is called Kalimantan). The largest cities there are Pontianak, Samarinda and Banjarmasin. The Indonesian government has serious problems with overpopulation on the island of Java. Population numbers are increasing without any control, in contrast to China. So programs were installed to settle people from Java on other islands, many of them came to Borneo. Within only a few years nearly the complete tropical rain forest of the flatlands of Borneo was deforested. Also the cities grew (Singkawang, Sintang, Sukaraja, Sampit, Palangkaraya, Balikpapan, Bontang and Tarakan) and it remains only a question of time until also Borneo will not be able to support any more such large population numbers.

The official language of Indonesia is Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia). Besides there are many other languages spoken, but none is officially recognized, some are even heavily suppressed by the government (for example Papua languages in Irian Jaya/New Guinea).
Tourism is of regionally high in Indonesia, for example in Bali. We would appreciate more detailed information, also about tourism, flights, or individual tours to Indonesia.

This is our Map of the World with original scripts (original size 70 x 100 cm), from which the detailed map shown above has been cut out. The numbers of city inhabitants and vegetational zones were researched by hand for every country, by using the sources listed below. This procedure prevented the map from containing traditional errors provoked by simply copying such information from previous maps.

The map can be ordered for 11.50 Euros (+ postage and packing) at www.wissenladen.de.

 

Sources on which the information contained in this map is based:

 

The vegetational base map was aligned with satellite pictures from Google Earth.

The official names of the countries are quite well researched at www.geonames.de.

Also here you can find information on the geography of many countries: www.geographixx.de.

The numbers of inhabitants of the cities were taken from www.citypopulation.de.

And the mountain peak altitudes were largely derived form www.peakbagger.com.
