Riau
Riau is a province of Indonesia. It is located in the central eastern coast of Sumatra along the Strait of Malacca. Until 2004 the province included the offshore Riau Islands, a large group of small islands (of which the principal islands are Batam and Bintan) located east of Sumatra Island and south of Singapore, before these islands were split off as Riau Islands Province in July 2004. The provincial capital of Riau Province and its largest city is Pekanbaru. Other major cities include Dumai, Selat Panjang, Bagansiapiapi, Bengkalis, Bangkinang, Rengat and Siak Sri Indrapura.
Riau is currently one of the richest provinces in Indonesia and is rich in natural resources, particularly petroleum, natural gas, rubber, palm oil and fibre plantations. Extensive logging and plantation development in has led to a massive decline in forest cover Riau, and associated fires have contributed to haze across the larger region.
Since the 1970s, much of Indonesia has experienced a decline in population growth rates. Riau has been a significant exception, with increasing rates every decade since 1970 to a 4.35 percent annual rise for the 1990s;〔(BPS:Laju Pertumbuhan Penduduk menurut Provinsi )〕 however, this rate slowed significantly during the subsequent decade. The provincial population was 5,538,367 at the 2010 census.〔 and according to the estimate for January 2014 this had risen to 6,358,636.
==History==
Previously Riau Province was a part of Central Sumatra Province with Bukittinggi as its capital, but in January the rebellion of Dewan Banteng occupied Riau on 1 January 1957 and on 9 August 1957 President Soekarno declared Riau Province.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inilah Sejarah Terbentuknya Provinsi Riau )〕
