" SURAMADU BRIDGE " New Economic Revolution In Madura

DEVELOPMENT longest inter-island bridge in Indonesia Surabaya-Madura (Suramadu) will accelerate economic development in Madura, which has been isolated.
Suramadu will accelerate the economic development of the isolated Madura, said Advisor to the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) Ngakan Putu Miharjana, Madura Development discussion Suramadu with Post-Development Executive Forum Alumni Association Institute of Technology Nopermber, in Jakarta, Saturday (6 / 6).
However, it did not create the economic infrastructure, only help accelerate that potential can be realized. Especially relevant as a bridge transportation will reduce transport costs, improve productivity, and economic movement in the region cheaper. Moreover, it could help to explore potential of local-pontensi from Surabaya to Madura and vice versa.

According to him, a huge potential in the sector Madura is a tobacco plantation and natural resources such as gas oil. The use of land for industrial areas will occur, because in Surabaya very crowded and expensive so if shaped area of ​​the industry is difficult. So the development of the industry that can flow into the Madura with formation of an industrial area.
Longest bridge is the longest in Indonesia, which is about 5.4 kilometers built with construction costs Rp 4, 528 trillion sumebr funds from the state budget / budget and bilateral loans from China.
He added that a region whose economy is not so great as Surabaya Madura and connected with the area's economy is developed so that dikonsuldasi money advanced. Because of the advanced already have some keunggalan its resources more fully.
Once they are up and saturated the new shift to the side or Madura, unless the government intervenes, if released to the market mechanism will look for a more lucrative.
According to him, it is theoretically predicted that sightseeing and shopping sector is moving faster it Surabaya. Construction of the bridge, the government has to calculate the potential in Madura, and other possibilities for the development of Surabaya is limited by geography so as to bridge the industry is expected to shift to Madura.
However, the development of industrial areas in need of some factors first capital, human resource is ready for industrialization.
Therefore, it is expected with the construction of longest bridge or open Madura insulation will benefit from the economic aspect. They worry about the negative impacts after the bridge, but socio-economically more positive.
According to him, there are certain aspects of the environment and the changes will be the concentration of the new world. In addition, the construction of longest bridge thankfully does not fall on the land productive so there is no conversion.
Alluding to the spatial conditions in the area related to the Madura longest bridge, he said, there should be further examination, as it would have a change of activity centers in industrial areas.
There should be a balance between the two acceleration region, because it was feared if not planned carefully sat down with the Surabaya-Madura, will be far away.
Still lacking
Meanwhile, experts Statistics Tenth of November Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya, Kresnayana Yahya, said the road infrastructure is less of a problem in Madura, resulting in less support the development of the area.
Problem in Madura about road infrastructure, it is necessary for spatial assessment again in the area, said Kresnayana.
According to him, due to the infrastructure is still lacking, so that the cost in higher and Madura many poor people.
Madura has as many as 14 million people, but only four million are still living and others are not at home and prefer to migrate to other areas.
Four districts in Madura, namely Bangkalan home to about one million people, approximately 414,000 inhabitants Sampang lives of the poorest areas compared to other districts so that they wander a lot. Lacquer Society was the most outside Madura, because economic conditions are very low, he said.
In addition to roads, Madura in the Dutch, many teak forests, but now it is gone. There are 14 rivers disappear and vegetation and entire stands of teak gone.
Since the tree is not there so a few million cubic meters of water contained in the soil in Madura is now missing, as well as the Advisory Board Krenayana Madura .
