There are 38 Kangean Islands (Indonesian: Kepulauan Kangean) altogether with 6 inhabited, forming an archipelago that is part of Indonesia covering a total space of 668 square km.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/311078/Kangean-Islands )〕 They are located in the Java Sea approximately north of Bali〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mdxc.org/ye3k/ )〕 and 120 km east of Madura Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.voi.co.id/indonesian-wonder/1679-kangean-islands )〕 The islands are administratively a part of Sumenep Regency within East Java province. ==Layout== The largest island, at about 490 km², is Kangean Island. Other islands include Paliat, Sepanjang, and several smaller islands. The towns of Kalikatak and Arjasa, both on Kangean Island, are the area's largest population centres. The islands have strong historic and ethnic ties with Madura; the people of Kangean are almost 100% Moslem; most residents are ethnically Madurese. The highest elevation point on the islands is in the northeast at 1,192 feet (364 m.), while overall the islands are low in elevation.〔 The weather tends to rain regularly. There is a Kangean language. Saltwater crocodiles are reported to be present within the island's coastal mangroves. They are administered as three districts (''kecamatan'') of Sumenep Regency - Arjasa, Kangayan, and Sapeken. Together, their population was 108,264 in the 2000 census, increasing to 123,367 in the 2010 count〔Biro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kangean Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
