			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sidoarjo mud flow or Lapindo mud or mud in Sidoarjo (Louise), is  the hot mudflow incident in the location of PT Lapindo Brantas drilling  in Renokenongo Village, Porong district, Sidoarjo regency, East Java,  since May 27, 2006. Blast of hot mud for several  months caused the sinking of settlements, agriculture, and industry in  the three districts in the vicinity, and to influence economic activity  in East Java.</p>
<p>Location of this mudflow in Porong,  namely in the southern district of Sidoarjo regency, about 12 km south  of the town of Sidoarjo. Sub District borders the  Gempol (Pasuruan) in the south.</p>
<p><a href="http://bangjotours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lapindo.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1614" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Lapindo" src="http://bangjotours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lapindo-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Burst location only 150-500 meters away from wells Banjar  Panji-1 (BJP-1), which is owned gas exploration wells as operator  Lapindo Brantas Brantas block. Therefore, until now, a  blast of hot mud is alleged to result from drilling activities of  Lapindo Brantas conducted at the wells. Lapindo Brantas own  party have two theories about the origin of bursts. First,  the mud flow procedures associated with errors in drilling activity. Both, the Lapindo coincidence coincided with the  drilling due to the unknown. However, more material  that it is biased due to drilling.</p>
<p>Location is a residential area  and the surrounding area is one of the major industries in East Java. Not far from the location of the highway  there are bursts of Surabaya-Gempol, highways Surabaya-Malang-Pasuruan  and Surabaya-Banyuwangi (East pantura line), and cross the railway line  east of Surabaya-Malang and Surabaya-Banyuwangi, Indonesia.</p>
<p>Based  on several expert opinions out of the mud due to a fault, a lot of  places around East Java to Madura as Mount Anyar in Madura, &#8220;mountain&#8221;  also exists in the mud of Central Java (Bleduk Kuwu). This phenomenon has  happened dozens, even hundreds of years ago. The amount of mud in Sidoarjo is  out of the bowels of the earth about 100,000 cubic meters per day, which  is not possible out of the hole the &#8220;boring&#8221; as wide as 30 cm. And due to the early opinions  of WALHI and the Environment Minister who said in Sidoarjo mud is  dangerous, causing levees built on public land, which for large volume  making it impossible to accommodate the flood of mud and eventually make  the affected land became increasingly widespread.</p>
<p>This mudflow brought  great impact to the surrounding community as well as for economic  activities in East Java. Until May 2009, PT  Lapindo, through PT Lapindo Jaya Minarak have to spend money either to  replace the public lands and make the dike is Rp. 6 Trillion.</p>

Until August 2006, this  mudflow has inundated several villages / subdistricts in District  Porong, Jabon, and Tanggulangin, with a total of residents who were  evacuated by more than 8200 people and displaced 25,000 people. Because no less submerged  10,426 houses and 77 units of mud houses of worship submerged in mud.</li>

<li>About 30 factories were  forced to stop activities of stagnant production and laying off  thousands of workers. 1873 noted that workers  affected by this mud.</li>
<li>Four government offices  are also not functioning and the employees also threatened not to work.</li>

<li>Damage to the  environment on tergenangi areas, including areas of paddy fields</li>
<li>The Lapindo through  Imam P. Agustino, Gene-ral  Manager of PT Lapindo Brantas, claimed to have set aside U.S. $ 70  million (approximately USD 665 billion) to fund emergency response to  the mud.</li>
<li>Due to amblesnya  surface soil around the mud flow, water pipes broken PDAM Surabaya&#8217;s.</li>
<li>Explosion of a gas  pipeline owned by Pertamina due to soil degradation due to the mud  pressure and about 2.5 kilometers of gas pipeline submerged.</li>
<li>He closed the toll  roads Surabaya-Gempol until an unspecified time period, and the  resulting congestion on alternative routes, namely through  Sidoarjo-Mojosari-Porong and Waru-lane toll-Porong.</li>
<li>No less than 600  hectares of land submerged.</li>
<li>A SUTET owned PT PLN  and the telephone and electricity networks in four villages and a  highway bridge in Porong not functional.</li>
</ul>
<p>Closure of toll roads is  also causing disruption of transportation routes Surabaya-Malang and  Surabaya-Banyuwangi and other towns in the eastern part of Java island. This resulted in the  production activities in the region Ngoro (Mojokerto) and that during  this Pasuruan is one of the main industrial area in East Java.</p>

It borders  with West                Java Province in the western part, while in the eastern  part borders                with East Java Province. On the part of the southern side  lies also                the province of Yogyakarta Special Region. Central Java is  the island&#8217;s                cultural, geographic, and historic heartland.  Universities, dance                schools, pottery, handicrafts, textiles and carving, give  to the                region a rich culture and interesting shopping. This is  also the                place of the famous Javanese temples of Borobudur. But it  is not                the only ones to be noted; Dieng plateau and Sukuh temple  are worth                a visit.

Although no longer the seat of power it once was,  descendants of                the royal houses of Solo are regarded as leaders of,  Javanese culture                and traditions, upholding standards of sophistication and  conduct.</p>
