Baubau is a city in Southeast Sulawesi province, Indonesia. The city is located on the southwest coast of Buton island. Baubau attained city status on 21 June 2001, based on Law Number 13 of 2001. It covers an area of 294.98 km2, including about 30 km2 of water area, and had a population of 136,991 at the 2010 Census[2] and 159,248 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 161,280.[4] The city is the economic center of Buton Island region and the second largest city in the province. It was cultural center of Butonese people and former capital of Sultanate of Buton, colonial administration of Eastern Sulawesi, and for a brief moment the entire Southeast Sulawesi until 1955 when the capital status and economic development shifted to neighbouring Kendari.

History[edit]

Etymology[edit]

There are several theories regarding the origin of the city's name. First, it came from word "bhaau" in Butonese language that means "new", due to the fact the location was a bustling new town after the royal compound in Wolio under Sultanate of Buton. Other theory suggest that it simply came from Malay word "bau" means "smells", due to the fact it was a busy port town with fish markets around the area that made bad smells.[5] It was also suggested that the word might came from Bugis noble title "Andi Bau", whose holders settled in the city fleeing the conflict in South Sulawesi during first and second Bone Wars against the Dutch.[6]

Early and colonial history[edit]

According to local legends, the history of the city started when four entourage groups of Malay merchants in late 13th century landed on Buton Island. The first and second groups called Sipajonga and Simalui landed on the southern coast bringing with them a banner that would become the banner of the sultanate. The third and fourth groups called Sitamanjo and Sijawangkati landed on the northern coast and eventually moved inland to south where they eventually established in the area that is now Wolio Fortress, becoming the center of governance. These are collectively known as "mia patamiana" which were said to be origin of the royal family. The sultanate was initially said to be unification of four villages that later founded the kingdom.[5] Spread of Islam reached the region after a visiting scholar from Johor in the 16th century converted the ruling royals and eventually turned the kingdom into a sultanate with its own constitution called "Murtabat Tujuh". During much of its existance, the political position of the Buton Sultanate was described as "like a shuttle cock" played by bigger players such as Makassar, Ternate, and the Dutch East India Company.[7] It was constantly under threat of invasion by neighbouring Sultanate of Gowa and raids by pirate ships from Sultanate of Ternate, and eventually fall under Dutch East Indies protection in the 17th century. As time goes on, settlement grew around Wolio Fortress and the palace complex that eventually become Baubau city.[5]

In 1911, under the Dutch colonial government, the city became capital of Afdeeling Oost Celebes and the governance of whole eastern Sulawesi region was consolidated to the city.[5] As the consequence, the city grew in administrative importance and received modern infrastructures for the first time such as sealed roads, cable telephone, as well as military installment.[8] The development of the city infrastructure was modeled after Sibolga and particularly driven to fight the spread of malaria due to swampy nature of the region.[9] This was followed by economic expansion to the rest of Buton Island starting with opening of asphalt mine in 1924 where the result was then used to construct inland roads to economically important area in the island where coconut plantations and harvested forest goods such as rattan can be found. During this time, the city also saw founding of migrant quarters such as Kampung Bone and Kampung Wajo. Baubau acted as main port and collecting center of goods produced around it as well as main market town.[5][9]

Recent history[edit]

In the aftermath of Indonesian independence, Baubau's economic importance declined due to shift in governance. However, at the same time, the political powers shifted from the sultanate to local figures and politicians. Local parliament was formed and election was held in 1955, where Masyumi and Indonesian National Party gained the most seats (respectively 6 seats and 5 seats). The local parliament met in an ethnic Chinese school building in the city on 21 July 1953 consisted of appointed members prior to the election.[9]

It was briefly capital of the Southeast Sulawesi Regency (today corresponding to Southeast Sulawesi province) before 1955 according to Law Number 34 of 1952. The regency was later divided into four regencies which are Buton Regency with Baubau as its seat, Kendari Regency with Kendari as its seat, Kolaka Regency with Kolaka as its seat, and Muna Regency with Raha as its seat.[5] When the Southeast Sulawesi province formed, Kendari was chosen instead as the capital which resulted in Baubau becoming less relevant economically and politically.[9] Despite the creation of the province was a result of popular demand, the vision was initially that Baubau to be the capital, hence the decision to choose Kendari was seen as betrayal of the original demand for the province. The decision to choose Kendari instead of Baubau was the result of the city lost in a voting (45 votes for Kendari, as opposed to 27 votes for Baubau) as well as maladministration practice, where the city drafted two different budgets done by two different officials at the same time, creating dualism in the city's bureaucracy.[9] Both cities, Kendari and Baubau, later in late 1950s also suffered from influx of refugee due to Darul Islam rebellion. People from outside the cities were evacuated to camps within the city and kidnappings of civilians by Darul Islam forces were a commonplace until 1960s.[9]

Baubau was granted city status in 2001 following fall of Suharto and decentralization that follows, separating itself from Buton Regency.[10] In recent years after the creation of the city, there has been demands by Butonese to create a new province named Buton Islands Province with Baubau as the capital, separating itself from the rest of Southeast Sulawesi.[11][12] The creation of this province has not been implemented yet despite support by governor of Southeast Sulawesi and Regional Representative Council due to moratorium for creating new autonomous regions under presidency of Joko Widodo.[13][14][15]

Geography[edit]

Geographically, Baubau lies between lattitute 5.21°S–5.33°S and longitude 122.30°E–122.47°E, and is located in the southern part of Southeast Sulawesi region. Baubau is bordered to the north by the Buton Strait (between Buton Island and Muna Island), to the east by the Kapontori District and to the south by the Pasarwajo District which both belongs to Buton Regency, and also to the west by the Kadatua District which is part of South Buton Regency.[16]

The topographical condition of Baubau mainly consists of mountains and hills. Long coasts and long hills stretch above the surrounding terrain with the variation of altitude between 0–100 meters above mean sea level. Baubau has a land slope between up to 40%. The dominant soil type in the city are cambisol, podzol, and latosol. Soil in the city and the rest of Buton Island are not fertile and relatively unsuitable for large-scale farming. Similar to other Indonesian cities, Baubau has tropical weather. The day and night temperatures vary from around 29°–33 °C during the daytime and 20°–29 °C during the nighttime.[17]

In addition to that, ride-hailing service such as Gojek is available while autorickshaw are also common.[48][49] In recent years, the presence of ride-hailing service has made angkot owners out of business after being outcompeted thus reducing the amount of angkot operational within the city.[50]

This is mostly served by Pelni and Sea Toll Program.[51][52] There was a plan to connect Buton Island to Muna Island using a bridge from Baubau. However, this plan was put on hold indefinitely in 2023.[53] The city is served by Betoambari Airport with regular flights to Makassar, Wakatobi Regency, and Kendari.[54]
