A S M A T --Ewer Village




Ewer Village had the privilege as air gate to the Asmat region with the runway. Flights types of aircraft pioneer facilitate mobility locals to go and then come back. Ewer appearance trucks in service in the framework of sustainable development runway for aircraft flying Fokker into specifics. The above ground slurry when ground transportation is available carts, bicycles, and electric motors, the existence of a truck that serves as a means of transport construction materials runway becomes even entertainment. A visiting Ewer even have to point the finger, "Look, there's a truck!" The expression of joy. There is also the intention to ride the truck just to feel how the impression ride ground transportation in the marshland.

Ewer distance to the capital about 15 minutes Agats reached by driving a speed boat, a motorcycle taxi costs Rp. 100,000,00 per person. The population of 521 men, 567 women, 1,088 inhabitants. Ewer same township as 221 other Asmat village situated on the banks of the river flow --were all an initial strategy of the forerunner of the founder of the village to meet local needs for water at once anticipate mobility from one village to another, it is impossible for locals to mobility other villages except for passing the flow of river water.

Rowing is daily activities that used to look the river around the village, ci -boat move to a place to meet goals, such as capture --fishing, searching for crabs, go to the forest file sago or social visits. Model boat canoe with a narrow space causes rowers to move his hands in a standing position.

Road infrastructure available in the villages are wooden bridges are arranged with wood pas - Ironwood (insensia biyuga). The wooden bridge anticipate situations slack tide - tide to drown the whole surface of the water. Road infrastructure is too simple cause people tend to walk in the framework of mobility in the village. There are almost no motorcycle or bicycle in the village, because the diameter of the villages are relatively close.

Road transport infrastructure hardening become rare in Asmat, almost all locally available transport infrastructure is the road bridge. However, in the framework of the extension and hardening of the airport runway Ewer, hardening of the road infrastructure needs to be made as a passing truck transporting building materials for the runway.

Houses on stilts, either in the form of semi-permanent or a standard home model dominates in the Asmat region, including in the village Ewer. The basic ingredients of housing construction is a wooden board and extolled as a pole. Roofs can be made of palm leaves or zinc. Everyday after a busy draining for subsistence. A mother needs to take a rest on the porch of the house while keeping the child. Mother and son are two figures are inseparable.

No surprise about a hundred meters either side of the airport runway Ewer, is a concrete bridge. Modern technology around simpleness engraver community life becomes special. Under the bridge the river flows quietly, around the bridge is a natural atmosphere, verdant forest blends with weeds.

After the runway, concrete bridges, coconut village, Ewer still has one advantage is that solar power program of the Department of Industry and Mining. With the pemangkit solar power, then power facilities in homes can be lit for 24 hours. There are no dark atmosphere at night, even solar power does not require high operating costs, except for routine maintenance of the operator. Hope that all Asmat village will have this same plant.

The soil conditions are relatively hard not only supports Ewer as coconut village with longitudinal runway in the middle. The gardens around the house overgrown farmers in various vegetables and fruits. One of them is the pumpkin, vegetable fruits that grow without disturbing mischievous hands, so this flora can be picked as a daily consumption until the time came.
