It covers most of South Sumatra Province, and only small parts of the Bengkulu, Jambi and Lampung provinces as shown in the Location Map. The topography of the Musi River Basin can be broadly divided into five zones; namely, from the west, the Mountain Zone, the Piedmont Zone, the Central Plains, the Inland Swamps and the Coastal Plains. The Mountain Zone comprises the northwestern to southwestern part of the study area and is composed of valleys, highland plateaus and volcanic cones. The Piedmont Zone is an approximately 40 km wide transition belt between the Mountain Zone and the Central Plains. It is an undulating to hilly area with some flat plains. The central plains consist of three sections, uplands, flood plains and river levees. The Inland Swamps comprise the natural river levees and back swamps. The back swamps are less elevated than the river level and flooded during the rainy season. The Coastal Plain comprises the lowlands along the coast and the deltaic northeastern lowlands, naturally covered with peat swamp forest.

  • Rehabilitation of Ampera Bridge on Musi River Project Indonesia
    41 Indonesia Rehabilitation of Ampera Bridge on Musi River Project Rehabilitated Ampera Bridge Outline of Loan Agreement Loan Amount / 1,804 million yen / 1,695 million yen Disbursed Amount Loan Agreement July 1988 Terms &Conditions Interest rate 3.0% p.a. Repayment period 30 years (Grace period 10 years) Final Disbursement September 1993 Date Project Outline The project covered the rehabilitation of the Ampera Bridge, which spans the Musi River running through Palembang, a core city in South Sumatra Province, in order to address deterioration of the structure and to ensure smooth flow of traffic around the city. Results and Evaluation Palembang City is divided into two areas on the north and south sides of the Musi River, and the objective of city development plans has been to redevelop the northern side as a center for administration and commercial industry and to promote the development of new residential and commercial districts on the south side. Ampera Bridge was the only road bridge connecting the north and the south sides of the river, however, the 1993 completion of rehabilitation work was followed by con- struction of a new bridge (the Second Musi Bridge) 5km up river in 1994, in order to bypass the city center. It is anticipated that the synergistic effects of the two bridges will smooth the flow of traffic through the city, and traffic volume on the Ampera Bridge has grown substantially from approximately 44,000 vehicles/day at project appraisal (1986) to approximately 78,000 vehicles/day in 2000 (approx. 1.8 times), whilst that on the Second Musi Bridge has increased to around 7,000 vehicles/day.

It would have eased my learning curve." David "This book is simply...wow." Carol "The book takes out a rather complex culture and simplifies it by bringing out important aspects and explaining them. This sets it apart from the other travel books." Roger "Light and entertaining reading with serious substance nonetheless." Anna The neighborhood Enjoying Indonesia 2021 This is the inside perspective you’ll learn in this book: “We walk slowly, not just to enjoy the scenery or the shop windows, but because walking slowly is less tiring. Foreigners always walk too fast for a tropical climate. For us it’s hard to understand why.” “Bakso is so popular that it is also vended from pushcarts making their way through the neighborhoods. The vendor announces his presence tapping a spoon against an empty soup bowl. He is never short of customers.” “We have a range of ‘yes’ answers. The intonation and the body language’ reveal if it is a real ‘yes’, a ‘maybe’ or a ‘forget it’.” “We behave like this especially towards seniors. After all, it is ‘not done’ to challenge their opinion. So, it is far better to pretend than to create an unpleasant atmosphere at home or at work –and thus disrupt harmony.” “The captivating and hypnotizing metallic sound of the gamelan with its wooden drums pounding the rhythm and the heavy sound of the gongs resonating through the valley can be heard for hours until deep into the night.” Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Lotus flowers Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Enjoying Indonesia 2021 Chris Soebroto Photos: Sri Hadiyah, Chris Soebroto, Yudhis Soebroto, Yulia Dwi Heryianti, Ratna Setianingsih, and Dept.
