Topography of Central Lombok is mountainous in the north, including Mount Rinjani area with an altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level, suitable for plantation such as coffee, timber and other crops. The centre of the region is a low-lying and utilised for rice paddies and tobacco. The southern areas are dry and denuded with some undulating hilly areas of between 100 to 355 meters above sea level.The dominant soil types in Central Lombok district is 41 635 ha complex of Mediterranean Chocolate (34%), Grey Gromusol 34 306 (28%) and Grey regosol 20 387 (17%).[2]
Services and development
The region is essentially agrarian in activity with rice, copra, casava, tobacco, timber and other crops. Rainfall is lower in the south of the Regency and higher in the north as the land rises toward Mount Rinjani and the land becomes more fertile and productive. Rinjani supplies a rainfall catchment area to the region and several into central Lombok rivers flow from its slopes. The sea supports a small local fishing industry, a fish market, a pearling industry, seaweed harvesting, traditional weaving, pottery and handicraft production. The growing tourism industry in Lombok has had little effect on the eastern coast. The proximity of the new Lombok International Airport will possible lead to an increase in tourism related business and development in east Lombok in coming years.Education
Currently in Central Lombok regency there are 226 junior and elementary schools, 82 junior high schools and 46 high schools in addition an increasing number of private schools[3]. The regions Higher education needs are served by the University of Mataram in the nearby city of Mataram.Transportation
Public buses and Bemo run both to the west coast and the city of Mataram and further on through Pusuk pass to connect to north Lombok and Tanjung. Limited services are available on the east coast to connect to Praya and south toward Kuta.Vehicle and passenger ferries service central Lombok from both the east and west coast the island.
- Alat Strait: Labuhan Lombok - Pototano, Sumbawa with 8 ferries providing 18 crossings per day.
- Lombok Strait: Lembar, Lombok - Padang Bai, Bali, with 12 ferries providing crossings once every hour[4].
These drive on, drive off ferries provide the principal facilities for road transport movements in and out of Lombok. Disruptions on these routes can significantly effect trade and the provision of supplies to the island as the shipping operators on these routes will often suspend services due to breakdown or heavy seas.
Central Lombok is served by the Selaparang Airport AMI
Location of New Lombok International Airport
The new Lombok Airport will be developed in accordance with ICAO guidelines and specification. The airport size will consist of 553 hectares (1,370 acres) and will incorporate a modern convenient terminal supporting passenger requirements. The airport site is at Tanak Awu, in Kabupaten Lombok Tengah (Regency of Central Lombok), Lombok, Indonesia, south west of Mataram the provincial capital of Nusa Tenggara Barat and a few kilometers south west of the small regional city of Praya[5].. The surface connections are still under construction in late 2010 and some of the rights of way for the connecting highway to Mataram are still in disputation with the current landowners. The project has been much delayed and the proposed opening date has been moved back several times[6][7][8][9].Tourism
Notable beaches are Pantai Gerupuk, Pantai Awang, Tanjung A'nn, Pantai Seger, Kuta Beach, Selong Belanak, Mawi Beach, Pantai Tomang, Are Guling Beach, Pantai Pengatap, Rowok, Torok Aik Belek, and Pantai Mawun. Other attractions lie in the hills of central lombok rising toward Mount Rinjani. Surfing is very popular with local and international visitors and the south coast has some popular destinations for international surfers and travellers. Fishing villages, grouper fish cultivation, pearl cultivation, the traditional fish market and coral reefs also attract visitors to this part of Lombok. The area also supports traditional weaving and handicraft production. Individual tourists or tour guides often arrange small personalised tours or private visits to see traditional weaving and religious ceremonies. Mount Rinjani is at the northern flank of Central Lombok. It is popular tourist attraction and activities include trekking, study of rare tropical flora and local fauna.
In 2010 the region supported 25 hotels of mixed classes across the general area of Central Lombok Regency with 16 of these properties situated in the Kuta area[10].
