Indonesia has many large islands. Why is Java the island with the fifth largest population concentrated?

The reason why Indonesia’s population is mainly distributed in Java Island: Java Island is located in the core area of ??Indonesia, with a specific area of ??138,700 square kilometers and a population of 145 million. It accounts for half of Indonesia's population. Fujian Province, which is similar in area to Java Island, has a population of less than 40 million. The island is also home to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. Therefore, Java Island is also the political and economic center of Indonesia. Geography and climate: Java Island is Indonesia’s main rice grain producing area.

It can be found that areas with low forest coverage are mainly rice planting areas. Therefore, agricultural activities are also one of the reasons that make Java Island the center of Indonesia. The area of ??podzolized red-yellow soil in Indonesia is about 51 million hectares. Since the soil formed earlier, the area of ??this soil is smaller in Java Island. The fertility of podzolized red-yellow soil is not high and is not suitable for the cultivation of crops such as rice.

The volcanic ash covering the island of Java was relatively recent and the fertility is very good. Therefore, it has become Indonesia’s main food production area and has also raised a large population, making Java Island the core of Indonesia. Immigration is a long-term national policy of the Indonesian government. In the future, the population will continue to be moved from overly dense areas to sparsely populated islands. Immigration not only reduces the population pressure on the overly densely populated Java Island, but also promotes economic development in sparsely populated areas.

Cities include Surabaya, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, etc. Among the more than 13,700 islands in Indonesia, Java Island, which accounts for only 7% of the land area, is undoubtedly the most beautiful island. Major industrial, commercial and tourist cities in the country such as the capital Jakarta, the second largest city Surabaya, the third largest city Bandung, the third largest port Semarang, and the famous historical cities Yogyakarta and Bogor are concentrated here. From the perspective of transportation, Java Island’s railway length accounts for 75% of the country’s length. From this, it is not difficult to see the important position of Java Island in Indonesia.

Java Island is the fourth largest island in Indonesia. It faces the Indian Ocean to the south and the Java Sea to the north. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is located in the northwest of Java. Java is the most densely populated island in the world. The island covers an area of ??132,000 square kilometers and has a population of 114 million, with approximately 864 people living per square kilometer.

The country where Java Island is located is Indonesia, which produces oil, natural rubber, coconut, sugar cane, and oil palm. Java Island is located in the south of the Java Sea, with Kalimantan Island (formerly known as Borneo) to the north, Sumatra Island to the northwest, Bali Island to the east, Sulawesi Island to the northeast, and Christmas Island (a very small area) to the south.

Java is the 13th largest island in the world. The island of Java was essentially formed by volcanic activity, and at least 38 conical mountains indicate that they are or were active volcanoes. The island of Java includes Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, as well as many famous tourist attractions, including Yogyakarta (or Jakata), the cultural center of Indonesia, Borobudur, the Buddhist temple site, and the Hindu temple of Brambanan.
