This area has an area with the following boundaries:
Northeast of Sawu
Northwest of Sawu
The topography of Sabu Raijua Regency is dominated by slopes between 5-15%, and altitudes between
0-50 m above sea level, which can be found in all sub-districts in the Sabu Raijua Regency area. The
type of soil in Sabu Raijua Regency consists of 2 (two) groups. The characteristics of each type of soil
are as follows:
following :
1. Alluvial, This soil type is equivalent to fluvisol soil type (FAO/UNESCO version – 1974) or entisol
inceptisol (USDA Soil Taxonomy version – 1975). This alluvial soil is soil that comes from new deposits,
in layers, the amount of organic matter changes irregularly with depth. There are only ochric, histic or
sulfuric epipedons.
These soils are also referred to as sedimentary soil bodies, or recent deposits that have not yet
developed a well-developed profile. The soil is gray to brown in color. The texture of the soil is clay
or sandy loam with a sand content of less than 50-60%. The structure is solid or without structure, the
consistency is hard when it is caged and firm when it is moist. The nutrient content is relatively rich
with the reaction of the soil varying from neutral acid to alkaline. Permeability is generally slow or
average drainage is moderate and quite sensitive to erosion symptoms. Overall this soil has poor to
moderate physical properties, moderate to good chemical properties, so that soil productivity is low to
high. The distribution area is in the lowlands with the shape of the area being flat to slightly wavy. This
soil is also found in plains, valleys, basins and in watersheds.
2. Grumusol, This soil has a rather deep/thick soil solum layer (100 –
200 cm), gray to black in color, with a loamy to loamy texture, the soil structure is hard on the top
layer and lumps on the bottom with a firm or hard consistency when dry. The condition of the soil
when it rains expands and is very sticky and in the dry/dry season, the soil will crack

with a crack width of about 25 cm with a depth of 60 cm and lumps. This soil has a low
organic matter content, between 1-3.5% and the lower it decreases. This soil is acidic, slightly
alkaline, has good water holding capacity, has slow permeability and is very sensitive to
erosion. In general, these soils have rather poor to moderate physical and chemical properties.
The productivity value also varies from low to moderate.[7]
Hydrology
In general, the hydrological conditions in Sabu Raijua Regency consist of spring water, ground
water, and surface water. From the rainfall data, it can be seen that the amount of rainfall and the
amount of rain this year is relatively small and varies from month to month.
1. Spring is groundwater that appears to the ground surface, its appearance can be caused
because the water-carrying layer is cut off by a sloping ground surface or there are lithological
differences, affected by faults and so on. In the Sabu Raijua Regency area, there are several
springs originating from hilly areas with a discharge that usually decreases during the dry
season, so that the need for water during the dry season is an obstacle in this region. The
springs in the planning area include Menia in Menia Village, West Sabu District, Molie in Molie
Village, Hawu Mehara District, Lie Madira in
Molie Village, Hawu Mehara District, springs in Jiwuwu Village, Eimadake Village and
Bebeae Village, Central Sabu District, springs in Depe Village, West Sabu District and
springs in Ballu Village, Raijua District.
Low and high groundwater potential is an area where groundwater sources are very
difficult to obtain.
3. Surface water, in the planning area there are many rivers / natural channels, including:
Loko Aimadawadu, Loko Raidui, Loko Latamako, Loko Helaba, Loko Roapahi and Loko
Pakah as well as Loko Lui and Loko Leba. These rivers are
Machine Translated by Google
generally in the form of seasonal rivers that only water during the rainy season,
while in the dry season it is not watery or dry.[7]
Climate
The climate in the Sabu Raijua Regency area is a tropical savanna dry (Aw). This is marked by the
dry season long and rainy season relatively short time of year in this area. The rainy season in this
district usually occurs from the beginning of December until the end of March. Meanwhile, the dry
season lasts from April until October. The area's annual rainfall ranges from 800–1600 millimeters
per year with the number of rainy days less than 100 rainy days per year. During the dry season,
many rivers and streams dry up, so local residents can only use wells for their clean water supply.[8]
The average air temperature in this district varies between 23°–33 °C and humidity levels

History
Sabu Island is also known as Sawu or Savu. Residents on this island themselves call their
island as Rai Hawu which means Land of Hawu and the Sabu people themselves call themselves
as Do Hawu. The official name used by the local government is Sabu. The Sabu people explain
that the name of the island comes from the name Hawu Ga, which is the name of one of their
ancestors who is considered to have first visited the island.

Kingdom time
According to history, the ancestors of the Sabu people came from a very distant country which is
located in the west of the island of Sabu. In the 3rd century to the 4th century there was a fairly
large population movement from South India to the Archipelago.
The migration was due to the fact that at that time there was a prolonged war in South India. From
ancient poems in the Sabu language, historical information can be obtained about the country of
origin of the Sabu ancestors. The poems reveal that the homeland of the Sabu people is located
very far across the ocean to the west which is
named Hura.
In India there is Surat City in the South Gujarat region which is located next to Bombay City,
Cambay Bay, South India. The city of Gujarat at that time was already famous as a trading center
in South India. The Sabu people cannot pronounce the words Surat and Gujarati properly, so they
call it Hura. These immigrants from South India became the first inhabitants of Raijua Island under
the leadership of Kika Ga or also called Hawu Ga. The descendants of Kika Ga are called the Sabu
people (Do Hawu). After mating, they then spread on the islands of Sabu and Raijua and became
the forerunner of the Sabu people.
The division of territory in Sabu occurred during the Wai Waka period (18th generation). This
division is made based on the number of children who will be divided into their respective areas,
namely:
This division has led to the formation of a territorial-genelogical community, in which a family
clump is tied to a particular settlement. As this clump grew bigger, a sub-clump called Udu was
formed which was headed by a Bangngu Udu. In Habba (Seba) there are 5 Udu which will be
further divided into Kerogo-Kerogo. In Sabu and Raijua there are a total of 43 Udu and 104
Kerogo.
It is believed that there was influence of Majapahit which in the 14th century until the early 16th
century succeeded in mastering and uniting the entire archipelago to the life of the Sabu people.
Some of this evidence can be seen at:

2. There is an obligation for every household to raise pigs which at any time will
collected for offerings to the King of Majapahit.
3. There is a memorial stone for the King of Majapahit called Wowadu Maja and a
The Maja Well in the Daihuli region near Ketita.
4. Every 6 years there is a ceremony held by one of the Udu in Raijua, Udu
Nadega who was given the nickname Ngalai which according to the story is a descendant of the
Majapahit people.
5. The motifs on the woven blankets of the Sabu people depicting Pura, give the impression that
there is an H profile influence like the Javanese and there is a place near the port of Mesara
called Molie which is thought to be taken from the Javanese word 'mulih o' which means to go home.
Colonial period
Mobility outside of Sabu began when the contract between Sabu and the Netherlands was signed in 1756
(Paravicini Agreement). It has been determined that Sabu is obliged to provide soldiers for the Netherlands
for the sake of its defense in Kupang. The main purpose of these armed forces was to carry out military
expeditions such as those carried out by Von Pluskow from 1758 to 1761. The skills of the Sabu people in the
military field were coupled with their courage to expand their involvement, including the expedition in 1838 to
stop the Ende people from attacking Sumba in order to obtain slave.
The emigration of the Sabu people to Sumba which was initiated by the marriage relationship between King
Melolo in East Sumba and King Sabu in Habba later developed into a village.
Shabu in East Sumba.
Several disease outbreaks attacked the inhabitants of Sabu, including smallpox which claimed lives in 1869,
causing Sabu and Raijua to lose almost one-sixth of their number, cholera in 1874 and repeated in 1888 which
reduced the population of both Sabu and Raijua islands very significantly. It was only around 1925 that the
population of Sabu reached its original number.
Another interesting thing from the history of Sabu is that it turns out that Captain James Cook, discoverer of
the Australian continent, the Hawaiian Islands and the first person to circumnavigate and map New Zealand,
had stopped on Sabu Island. On its way to Batavia in 1770, the ship HM Bark Endeavor was stranded on Sabu
Island due to running out of water

supplies. Captain James Cook received logistical assistance from the ruler of Sabu at that
time, namely Raja Ama Doko Lomi Djara so that he could sail again.
modern times
After regional autonomy was granted to the provincial government (Law on Regional Autonomy
1999), Raijua became a sub-district. At the establishment of Sabu Raijua Regency in 2008, the
district was officially divided into 6 sub-districts namely Raijua, West Sabu, Hawu Mehara, Sabu
Liae, East Sabu and Central Sabu. In 2008, Thobias Uly was appointed Acting Regent and on
January 24, 2011 the first definitive Regent from the direct election of Sabu Raijua Regency, Ir.
Marthen L. Dira Tome with his Deputy Drs. Nicodemus Rihi Heke, M.Si took office after being
appointed by the Governor of NTT Frans Leburaya on January 24, 2011 at the Special Plenary
Meeting of the DPRD of Sabu Raijua Regency. The background of the term Do Hawu is not
derived from the name Hawu g'ha as discussed above. Because if it is assumed that the term is
respect then why is there no term to honor Kika G'ha? Where is the lineage of Hawu G'ha until
now? Thus, the above assumption is stated to be wrong, because in fact the term Dohawu
appeared when the generation of Kika G'ha namely Miha ngara had children, namely Hawu Miha
and J'hawa Miha, briefly In contemporary terminology, Hawu Miha is assigned to procreate and
chooses to be conservative or maintain tradition, so this group is referred to as do Hawu while to
J'hawa Miha are given the task to migrate to Java and choose to live in a modern way and this
group is called Do J' hawa.And when the two of them met on a beach in the second Java while
reminiscing about the past, the beach was known as
