The landscape of the island of Java, in the Indonesian archipelago, is dominated by volcanoes and rice fields. The human landscape of this; the world’s most densely populated island is equally thrilling to the eye, and no visitor can remain unaffected by the special atmosphere that makes this island so unique. This is an island of 120 million people, a complex and sophisticated society in the midst of wrenching changes. Java anchors the gentle arc of islands that makes up the nusantara the great SoutheastAsian archipelago. The island is long, narrow and volcanic, some 1000 km in length but only 200 km wide at its widest point, and lies roughly parallel and six degrees south of the equator. Its northern coast fronts on the shallow, welcoming Java sea, and its southern coast confronts the depths of the Java Trench and the Indian Ocean, or as they say in Java, the Laut Kidul, the Southern Ocean. Java has been home for man for a millionandahalf years, and is today the heart of the Republic of Indonesia.
