Overview map
Luro in the west of the municipality of Lautém

Luro ( Luru ) is an East Timorese administrative office ( Portuguese Posto Administrativo ) in the municipality of Lautém . It is divided into Upper and Lower Luro by the Adafuro River . The two largest settlement centers in each case are called Upper and Lower Luro , and both are often referred to as Luro. Confusion also arises because Lower Luro was the administrative center during the Indonesian occupation (1975 to 1999), but was then replaced by Upper Luro.

The locations

There are just under four kilometers between the two settlement centers of Luro. While Upper Luro is on the western border of the Sucos Luro to Cotamutu , Lower Luro is in the Suco Afabubu, on the Adafuro River .

Upper Luro

On the border between the Sucos Luro and Cotamutu lies the main town and the largest settlement center of the administrative office, which is made up of several districts. The center and the administrative headquarters of the administrative office are located in Suco Luro. These include the districts of Luro , Abere , Aelaneno , Afaia ( Afaea ), Amahira ( Amaira ), Baricafa ( Barikafa ), Ossufaso and Uatalano . The western outskirts of Cotamutu lies in the Suco Cotamutu. A little further out in Suco Luro are the villages of Fanice , Halaena , Sarelari ( Saralari ) and in Suco Cotamutu Ouroma ( Ourama , Oroma ) and Kotamutu .

The settlement center has a primary school, a medical post and a community health center. The municipal capital Lospalos is 17 km as the crow flies (65 km on the road) to the east and the state capital Dili is about 137 km to the west.

Under-Luro

The settlement center Unter-Luro ( Odufuro ) is located in Suco Afabubu , at the mouth of the Adafuro in the Raumoco river . The center of the village is on the north bank of the Adafuro, as are the districts Borugae ( Borogae , Borugai ), Boruvali ( Borowali , Boruwali ), Wairoque , Afa , Zefaliu , Soba ( sofa ), Afanami ( Ataname ), Ulturo ( Luturo ) and Dalari ( Daelari ) . To the south of the river lie the suburbs of Oneraba ( Onerafa , Onerafa ) and Lacawa ( Lakawa ). The settlement center includes a school to prepare for secondary school. The road from Ober-Luro to Lospalos runs through Unter-Luro.

geography

The sucos of the Luro Administration Office (borders until 2015)

Until 2014, the administrative offices were still referred to as sub-districts .

The Luro Administrative Office is located in the west of the Lautém municipality. It is the only administrative office in Lautém that has no access to the sea. In the north and east is the Lautém administrative office, the Iliomar administrative office in the south and the municipality of Baucau with its administrative offices Baguia and Laga in the west . Before the 2015 regional reform, Luro had an area of ​​128.28 km². Now there are 125.4 km². Luro gave an area in the north to Lautém, but received a territory from Laga, which now protrudes in the west like an appendage into the neighboring administrative office.

Luro consists of six sucos. In Upper Luro there are the Baricafa ( Barikafa ), Cotamutu ( Cotamuto , Kotamuto ) and Luro with the administrative headquarters. In Unter-Luro ( Odufuro ) are the sucos Afabubu ( Afabubo ), Lacawa ( Lakawa ) and Wairoque ( Wairoke , Wairoce , Vairoque ). The demarcation of the sucos was significantly changed several times after the Indonesian occupation. Among other things, Afabubu and Wairoque exchanged practically all of their territory.

Luro is the highest administrative office in Lautém. It consists of a valley surrounded by hills and smaller mountains. The Legumau ( Legumaw , Apara ) in Suco Lacawa is the highest point at 1228  m (other sources after 1221  m or 1297  m ). The localities in the administrative office are spread out and are sometimes difficult to reach due to the landscape. For the 2007 parliamentary elections, some of the ballot boxes had to be transported by horses and helicopters.

The administrative office has around 1000 hectares of arable land on which rice and maize are grown. 60% of the households in Luro grow corn, 54% rice, 51% coconuts, 51% cassava, 44% vegetables and 6% coffee. But many people are dependent on the income from their gardens. In addition, wild roots are collected and pets are kept. These are water buffalo, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and, above all, chickens. In Ober-Luro there are also large numbers of ducks.

history

In June 2001 there was severe flooding, which together with mudslides destroyed many fields.

At the end of August 2011, four people died in a clash between two martial arts groups in Baricafa. As a result, Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão ordered the closure of martial arts clubs.
