Surantih is a "Nagari" (a cluster of villages) in the Kabupaten District of Pesisir Selatan of West Sumatra province in Sumatra island, Indonesia. Surantih is one of 11 major nagari—out of 37—in Pesisir Selatan. The other 10 major nagaris are Tarusan, Pasarbaru, Salido, Painan, Pasar Kuok (or Batang Kapas), Kambang, Balai Selasa, Air Haji, Indrapura, and Tapan—in that order from north to south, where Surantih is situated between Batang Kapas and Kambang. ==Location and access == Surantih is located 116 km to the south of Padang, the capital city of the province. It is geographically closer to Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, than to Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia). It stretches along Batang Surantih (Surantih River) from the Indian ocean 30 km inland to the Bukit Barisan region where it borders another nagari from a different district, Solok. There is only one land transportation access to Surantih, the district main road connecting Padang with all major Nagari in the Pesisir Selatan district and continues to Bengkulu and Jambi province. It takes about 3 hours by bus/car from Padang to Surantih, and about 4–5 hours further to the south to the Bengkulu or Jambi province borders. Pasar Surantih (lit. Surantih’s market) is the main village where commercial amenities and social facilities are located, such as shops, small restaurants, wet market, and schools. Pasar Surantih is a typical small town in Indonesia with around 2,000 population. The entire Surantih population is about 25,000-30,000, the latest population survey from Dept. PU in 2003 showed a 25,412 population (12,898 female, 12,524 male). This population is spread across an area of approximately 300 km2 and is thus almost half Singapore's size, with a few small villages which were not accessible by modern transportation means until a couple of years ago. Langgai is the most remote village in Nagari Surantih, situated in the Bukit Barisan with a different climate from the lowland and coastal part of Surantih. A road has been built to this village, but the condition is poor; it takes 3–4 hours to cover a distance of 30 km to reach Langgai from Pasar Surantih. 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「Surantih」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
