Dusun Toisapu, Desa Hutumuri, Ambon Island1
15.1 Physical, Biological and Technical Attributes
15.1.1 Physical environment
Hutumuri lies on Ambon Island2, bordered by the Halong village in the north, the Passo
village in the east, and the Rutong village in the west. In the 1950s, when Hutumuri became
very large, the village split into dusuns (lit. garden). One of the dusuns is Toisapu, which lies
north of Hutumuri on the edge of Baguala Bay (see Figure 15.1).
The dusun boundaries of Toisapu run from the Toisapu bridge up to the next bridge towards
Hutumuri. This stretch is about 1 km long by road. Hutumuri has a large forest-garden area
and most people are farmers. They cultivate cloves and coconuts.
