**Klaten** ([Indonesian](/source/Indonesian_language): *Klaten*, pronounced [\[ˈklat̪ɛn\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Malay); [Javanese](/source/Javanese_language): *Klathèn*) is a [regency](/source/Regencies_of_Indonesia) (*kabupaten*) in the [Indonesian](/source/Indonesia) province of [Central Java](/source/Central_Java). Klaten is situated between the two major cities of [Yogyakarta](/source/Yogyakarta) to its Southwest and [Surakarta](/source/Surakarta) (colloquially known as Solo) to its Northeast. It covers an area of 701 km2 (271 sq mi) and as of 2024 has an estimated population of 1,302,648.[1]

The regency encompasses parts of [Mount Merapi](/source/Mount_Merapi), Indonesia's most active volcano, whose eruptions have repeatedly affected Klaten's population. Klaten is home to several historical sites, including the 9th-century Buddhist [Plaosan](/source/Plaosan) temple complex. The 9th-century Hindu [Prambanan](/source/Prambanan) temple itself sits just outside the administrative border of Klaten, but large portions of the wider [Prambanan Temple Compounds](/source/Prambanan_Temple_Compounds), a [World Heritage Site](/source/World_Heritage_Site) that includes several more Hindu-Buddhist temple complexes in the vicinity of Prambanan, lie within Klaten regency.

The regency's administrative centre is the town of the same name; which extends over 37 km2 (14 sq mi) and encompasses three of the regency's districts, with a combined total of 136,222 inhabitants in 2024; a fourth district (Kalikotes, with 38,707 inhabitants in 2024) is also part of the town area.

## Geography and Climate

### Geography

Klaten Regency borders [Boyolali Regency](/source/Boyolali_Regency) in the North, [Sukoharjo Regency](/source/Sukoharjo_Regency) and [Wonogiri Regency](/source/Wonogiri_Regency) in the East, and the [Special Region of Yogyakarta](/source/Special_Region_of_Yogyakarta) to the South and West.

The [2006 Yogyakarta earthquake](/source/2006_Yogyakarta_earthquake) damaged the area, located near the active [Mount Merapi](/source/Mount_Merapi) volcano on the border between Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, The [2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi](/source/2010_eruptions_of_Mount_Merapi) had a great impact on Klaten and its surrounding areas. A few of the victims who were affected by the eruption came from the regency of Klaten. The volcanic eruptions were so loud they caused panic and a rush for residents to seek refuge.

Klaten has a humid (> 0.65 p/pet) climate. The landscape is mostly covered with rainfed croplands, residential areas, and isolated stands of trees. The climate is classified as a [Tropical](/source/Tropical) [Monsoon](/source/Monsoon) (short dry season, monsoon rains other months), with a tropical moist forest biozone. The soil in the area is high in nitosols, and andosols (nt), soil with deep, clay-enriched lower horizon with shiny ped surfaces.[2]
