- Bandung is also the name of a drink.
Bandung, /bʌndʊŋ/, is the capital of the province of West Java, Indonesia and is the country's third largest city.
Geography
Bandung, the capital of West Java province, is located about 180 km (112 miles) southeast of Jakarta. Its elevation is 768 metres (2,520 feet) above sea level and is surrounded by mountains, some of which are active volcanoes. It is part of the (2,340.88 km²) Bandung Basin; the location of the city itself, the Cimahi satellite city, part of Bandung Regency, and part of Sumedang Regency.[1] The basin's main river is the Citarum; one of its branches, the Cikapundung, divides Bandung from north to south before it merges with Citarum in Karawang. The basin is an important source of water for drinking water, irrigation and fisheries, and a reservoir for the city with a total volume of 6,147 million m³.
The northern part of the city is hillier than the rest; the distinguished truncated flat-peak shape of the Tangkuban Perahu volcano (Tangkuban Perahu literally means 'up-turned boat') can be seen from the city to the north. Long-term volcanic activity has created fertile andisol soil in the north, suitable for intensive rice, fruit, tea, tobacco and coffee plantations. In the south and east, alluvial soils deposited by the Cikapundung river are mostly found.
Geological data shows that the Bandung basin is located on an ancient volcano, known as Mount Sunda, erected up to 3,000–4,000 metres (9,850–13,100 feet) during the Pleistocene age.[2] Two large scale eruptions took place; the first formed the Bandung Basin and the other (est. 55,000 Before Present) blocked the Citarum river, turning the basin into a lake known as "the Great Lake of Bandung".[3] The lake drained away; the reason for which is the subject of ongoing debate among geologists.[4][5]
Due to its elevation, the climate in Bandung is cooler than most Indonesian cities; the average temperature is 22.6°C (72.7°F) throughout the year. The average annual rainfall ranges from 1,000 millimetres in the central and southeast regions to 3,500 millimetres in the north of the city.[1] The wet season conforms with other Indonesian regions, around November to April.
History
The earliest reference to the city dates back to 1488, but archaeological findings suggest a type of Homo erectus species had lived on the banks of the Cikapundung River and around the old lake of Bandung.[6][7] During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) opened plantations in the Bandung area. A supply road connecting Batavia (now Jakarta), Bogor, Cianjur, Bandung, Sumedang and Cirebon was built in 1786. In 1809, Louis Napoleon, the ruler of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its colonies, ordered the Dutch Indies Governor H.W. Daendels to increase the defensive systems of Java against the British from the Malaysian peninsula. Daendels built a road, stretching approximately 1,000 km from the west coast to the east coast of Java, and passing through Bandung.[8][9] In 1810, the road was laid down in Bandung and was named De Groote Postweg (or the 'main post road'), the present-day site of Asia-Afrika Street.
In 1880, the first major railroad between Batavia and Bandung was built,[10] boosting light industry in Bandung. Chinese who had previously never lived in the city flocked to help run facilities, services and selling vendor machines. The old Chinatown district in Bandung is still recognisable in the railroad station vicinity. In 1906, Bandung was given the status of gemeente (municipality) and then later as stadsgemeente (city municipality) in 1926.
In 1930s, the Dutch East Indies government considered moving the capital from Batavia to Bandung. R.A. Wiranatakusumah II, the chief administration of the Bandung regency at that time, moved its office from Krapyak, in the south, to a place near a pair of holy city wells (sumur Bandung), the present-day site of the city square (alun-alun). He built his dalem (palace), masjid agung (the grand mosque) and pendopo (public-official meeting place) in the classical orientation[11]. The pendopo faces Tangkuban Perahu mountain, which was believed to have a mystical ambience. In the meantime, the Dutch East Indies government built military barracks, the central government building (Gouvernments Bedrijven, the present-day Gedung Sate) and other government buildings. This plan, however, was cut short by World War II after which the Dutch were not able to re-established their colony.
The fertile area of the Parahyangan Mountains surrounding Bandung supports productive tea plantations. In the nineteenth century, Franz Junghuhn introduced the cinchona (kina) plant.[12] With its cooler elevated landscape, surrounded by major plantations, Bandung became an exclusive European resort area.[6] Rich plantation owners visited the city on weekends, attracting girls and businessmen from the capital, Batavia. Braga Street grew into a promenade street with cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. Two art-deco style hotels, Savoy Homann and Preanger were built and the Concordia Society (the present-day Merdeka Building) was built as a club house for the wealthy, complete with a large ballroom and a theatre.[10] The nickname "Parijs van Java" was given to the city.
After Indonesian Independence, Bandung was identified as the provincial capital of West Java. During Dutch military offensives to reclaim Java, an ultimatum was given for the Indonesian combatants in Bandung to leave the city. In response, on 24 March 1946, much of the southern part of Bandung was deliberately set alight as the combatants left; an event known as the Bandung Lautan Api ('Bandung Sea of Flame')[13]. A song "Halo-halo Bandung" was sang along by these hundreds of Indonesian nationalists.
In 1955, the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung. Twenty-nine countries attended the conference that established the Nonaligned Movement.
Today, Bandung has growth beyond its city core with the Bandung Raya plan. Traffic in Bandung can be terrible, with its complex, congested and chaotic nature[14]. The city core is practically uprooted, old faces are torn down, lot sizes regrouped, and what was idyllic residence is now bustling chain supermarkets and rich banks[6]. Bandung is still, however, a popular weekend destination for people living in Jakarta. The new Cipularang Highway was recently completed, reducing travel times to and from Jakarta. Bandung's major attractions include the food and fashion shopping.[citation needed] The food in Bandung is well known for their wide varieties and taste.[citation needed] Bandung is also a place to do fashion shopping with its numerous factory outlets and stock centres[15].

Bandung is divided into 26 subdistricts (kecamatan) and 139 villages (kelurahan). The 26 subdistricts are: Sukasari, Cidadap, Coblong, Cibeunying Kaler, Cibeunying Kidul, Sukajadi, Cicendo, Andir, Bandung Kulon, Babakan Ciparay, Astana Anyar, Bojongloa Kaler, Bojongloa Kidul, Bandung Kidul, Regol, Lengkong, Sumur Bandung, Bandung Wetan, Kiara Condong, Batununggal, Cicadas, Margacinta, Rancasari, Arcamanik, Ujungberung, and Cibiru.
The head of city administration is mayor (walikota) and vice mayor. Since 2005, according to the Indonesian government law no. 6 (PP No. 6), 2005, all local governments, including mayors, deputy mayors and local councils (known as DPRD), are directly voted by the people, i.e. city residents.
Three city-owned business units (BUMD) are water management company, cleaning service and people's credit bank (BPR). There are 20 city services and 16 technical services under city administration.
Demographics
Architecture
Bandung is renowned for its large stock of Dutch colonial architecture; most notably the tropical Art Deco architectural style. C.P.W. Schoemaker was a celebrated architect at that time, who combined European architecture with tropical ornamentation[17]. Today, the city administration has the intention to reshape the city with banks, malls and other commercial buildings[6]. Recently, the Bandung Heritage Society [2], a non-profit organization, has been formed to save these buildings, notably including the following art-deco buildings:
- Gedung Sate in Jalan Diponegoro. Formerly was used as the head of Dutch Indies Government Companies, it is now the West Java Governor's office and local provincial House of Representatives.
- Savoy Homann Hotel at Asia-Afrika Road, well-known since 1880.
- Gedung Merdeka (formerly the Concordia Society) in Asia-Afrika Road, the location of the 1955 Asian-African Conference.
- Villa Isola, a beautiful villa with symmetrical garden built in 1932. It now serves as UPI's ('University of Education Indonesia') headmastership building.
- Gedung Dwi Warna
- Gedung Pakuan, now the official residence of the West Java Governor.
Apart from art-deco buildings, other landmarks include the Masjid Agung Bandung or the Grand Mosque, built in 1812, and recently renovated to include two 81 metre minarets. The oldest technical university in Indonesia, Institut Teknologi Bandung, has two prominent halls whose unique exterior styling gives hint of the shape of traditional houses such as those of Minangkabau, Toraja, and Batak, whilst being based on European architectural elements. Braga Street, in the city centre, was a trademark of the city during the colonial time. Modern landmarks include the city's only cable-stayed bridge, the 2.8 km Pasopati bridge, connecting eastern and western part of the city and also the Monument of West Java People's Heroic Struggle in front of Gedung Sate.
Culture
The West Java people are called the Sundanese, endowed with language and traditions unique to that of the rest of Java. The Sundanese language has 3 distinct hierarchies, starting from the lowly harsh (kasar), middle, and soft (lemes) Sundanese. Many Sundanese words have been adopted into Indonesian, although many of its contributions consist of profanities. Pajajaran Kingdom was the oldest kingdom in the region. The West Java region is also named as Parahyangan or the "Land of the Gods". In its later history, the region fell under influence of the Central Java kingdoms, reflected in elite Sundanese having borrowed much of its vocabulary and grammar from elite Javanese.
In Indonesia, the Sundanese people are known to be more easy going and less formal in their temperament than their distant relatives from Central Java and East Java. This is reflected in the grammar of the Sundanese language, which has many forms allowing for meaningless light banter. Interestingly, Sundanese has contributed many swear words to the Indonesian language spoken in Jakarta.
The most popular traditional musical instrument is angklung, made of parallel bamboo tubes tuned to specific frequencies with a hammer and is shaken to produce certain notes. Music is performed by a choir of angklung players, each of whom are responsible for sounding certain notes. Its melody is only slightly different from that of Central Java's gamelan ensembles.
Tourism
Bandung has served for popular weekend-break destination for people living in Jakarta for many reasons. The cooler climate of highland plantation area, the varieties of food, the cheaper fashion shops located in factory outlets and distros, and the friendliness of local people have become the main attraction of the city.[18]
In the 1990s, local designers opened denim clothing stores along Cihampelas and since then, Bandung is nicknamed "Tourist Shopping City" (Kota Wisata Belanja). It was a huge success as now the-then residential street has been fully transformed into a "jeans street". The city attracts people from other big cities to buy local fashion wears, as they are cheaper than branded items.[19]
The city gained more shoppers to come, as textile factories in the outskirt of Bandung also opened a fashion store that sells their products directly from the factory. The products are sold cheaper than ordinary shops and they are tagged as sisa export (rejected or over-produced export quality items). These shops are called factory outlets. Again, it was a big success and now even many factory outlets are scattered inside the city, with the same tags and prices but without the factory nearby.[20] Factory outlets are concentrated along Riau and Dago streets. Some can be found along Buah Batu street.
There are many food varieties in Bandung. Local traditional foods include peuyeum (fermented cassava), "batagor" (fried tofu and fish), and "martabak" (salted = fried meat/chicken stuffed egg or sweet = baked sweet flour with chocolate/cheese). International food is also easy to be found in many restaurants. Sundanese restaurants are scattered around the city.
Bandung also offers nature tourism. Some of them are hiking to the top of the flipped-boat shape mount Tangkuban Perahu, camping around the lake of Patenggang in the middle of tea plantation, and trekking from the end of Dago street to Maribaya, Lembang through the water reservoir park of Juanda.
Sports
Bandung is the home town of the soccer team Persib. Another soccer team Persikab is based in neighbouring city of Cimahi, part of Bandung Regency. The most popular football stadium is Siliwangi Stadium.
Other popular sports in Bandung include badminton and basketball. The roads leading up to Lembang and Dago are popular routes for mountain cycling during the weekend. In the hillside around Bandung, there are a couple of golf courses.
Transport
The main gateway to the city is by road transport. An intercity highway, named as Cipularang toll road, connecting Jakarta, Karawang, Purwakarta, Padalarang and Bandung, has recently been completed in May 2005. It is currently the fastest way to go to Bandung from the capital. Driving time is about 1.5 to 2 hours on average.
Bandung can be accessed through normal roads. From Jakarta, there are 2 options: the Puncak route (Jakarta-Cianjur/Sukabumi-Bandung) or the Subang route (Jakarta-Cikampek-Subang-Lembang-Bandung). From eastern part of the cities (Cirebon, Tasikmalaya and Central Java province), Bandung can be accessed through the main provincial road.
The Pasupati bridge recently opened to the public, relieving traffic jams in the city for east-west transport. The 2.8 km suspension bridge lies through the valley of Cikapundung. It is 30 to 60 metres wide and after extensive delays, its construction finally completed in June 2005, following financial investment from Kuwait[21].
There is no rapid mass transit system in Bandung. The primary means of public transportation is by minibus, called angkot (from angkutan=transportation and kota=city). They serve certain routes throughout the city and are operated privately. There is no way to find exact angkot routes, except by asking the operators. Locals only learn routes for each angkot by heart. Taxis are available, while city-owned buses, called DAMRI, operates on larger relatively long routes. Bandung has 2 intercity bus terminals: Leuwipanjang, serving buses from the west, and Cicaheum, serving buses from the east.
The only airport in Bandung is Husein Sastranegara, serving flights from other major cities in Indonesia and also international services from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The airport is located nearby the Dirgantara aerospace complex. A railroad track connects Bandung to Jakarta and Cianjur to the west, and Tasikmalaya and Cilacap to the east. It is also the major means of transportation for people living in suburb areas of Cimahi, Padalarang, Rancaekek, Cicalengka and Cileunyi.
Education
There are hundreds of public and private schools in Bandung. Like in other Indonesian cities, Bandung has several state-funded and administered junior high and high schools, called State Junior High Schools (SMPN) and State High Schools (SMAN), respectively. Privately administered schools have also been around for many years.
At least 16 universities — 3 of them are state-owned universities — and 45 professional schools are scattered throughout the city. From social sciences, technology until tourism education can be found in one of those universities. The oldest technical university, Institut Teknologi Bandung, established in 1920 as Bandung Technisch Hogeschool in Dutch, has been attached as a trademark of the city's high education status. Therefore, the city has attracted hundreds of students from all over Indonesia.
Economy
Bandung has nearly 50 higher educational institutions. Creative-based culture has shaped the basis of Bandung economy. The once quiet residential district of Dago has become an important business and entertainment centre. Chic cafes and restaurants are spreading out along Dago Street. In the early 1990s Cihampelas Street became a popular clothing store location.
The distro sell stylish non-trademarked products, made by local designers. Books, indie label records, magazines, fashion products and other accessories are typical distro products. After their products receive large teenagers attention, then these local designers make their own clothing company. Now, there are more than 200 local brand names in Bandung. Distro distance itself from factory outlet in term of its philosophy. Distros come from individual designers and young entrepreneurs, while factory outlet products come from a garment factory[22].
Environmental issues
The north of the city serves as a water reservoir for Bandung's 2 million people, however, the area has seen much residential development. Several attempts to reserve this area have been made, including the creation of reserves, such as the Juanda National Park and Puncrut, but the development continues. The real danger has come in the form of several floodings in Bandung's south[23].
In the middle of 2006, Bandung faced another environmental disaster, as the city's land fill site reevaluated after a landslide in 2005.[24] Collection of 8,000 m3/day domestic garbage piled up, causing air pollution, spreading of diseases, and water contamination. The provincial government eventually stepped in to solve the garbage issues.[25][26]
Sister relationships
Bandung has sister relationships with a number of towns worldwide:
Brunswick, Germany (since 1980s)
Fort Worth, USA (since 1990s)
Suwon, South Korea (Since 2003)
Awards
- The Dirtiest of Indonesia's metropilitan areas[27].
- 1997: Adipura Award — for the achievement of the most beautiful city in Indonesia.
The Adipura consists of a trophy and an award.
