Bandung Regency
Bandung Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Bandung, Indonesian pronunciation: [kabuˌpat̪ɛn ˈbandʊŋ]; Sundanese: Kabupatén Bandung) is an administrative landlocked regency located to the south, southeast, east and northeast of the city of Bandung. The northern parts of the Bandung Regency are effectively part of Greater Bandung (technically the whole of the Regency is within the Bandung Metropolitan Area), with the southern third being less urbanized and jutting upwards from the Valley, though not as sharply as the mountain range to the immediate north of Bandung. The Regency is part of the Indonesian province of West Java, and is situated about 75 miles southeast of Jakarta. The town of Soreang is the regency seat.
The Regency was reduced in size as first Cimahi City (which became an independent city on 21 June 2001) and then West Bandung Regency (on 2 January 2007) were split off from the regency, resulting in a land area of 1,733.52 km2. In the 2010 Census, the population of this residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments, while the 2020 Census increased the total to 3,623,790; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 3,839,721 - comprising 1,953,971 males and 1,885,750 females, for an average density of roughly 2,215 per square kilometre. It is the second most populous (after Bogor Regency) of all the regencies of Indonesia.
Bandung Regency's current regent is Dadang Supriatna, while Sahrul Gunawan is the vice regent.
Bandung Regency is divided into thirty-one districts (kecamatan), encompassing 280 administrative villages (desa and kelurahan). The districts are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census and 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024. For ease of reference, they are grouped below into five geographical sectors (without any administrative significance). The districts each have the same name as the town that is its administrative centre. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 270 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
The Northern group of Margaasih, Margahayu, Dayeuhkolot and Bojongsoang Districts (which lie immediately to the south of the city), and Cileunyi, Cilrengkrand and Cimenyan Districts
(which lie immediately to the east and north of the city) are virtually extensions to the built-up area of Bandung. These suburbs are no longer increasing in population, as growth has switched to the groups of districts further south.
Notes: (a) including the urban kelurahan of Rancaekek Kencana.
(b) comprising five kelurahan (Andir, Baleendah, Jelekong, Manggahang and Wargamekar) and three desa.
(c) except Malakasari desa, which has a post code of 40258. (d) including the kelurahan of Sulaeman.
(e) including the kelurahan of Pasawahan. (f) including the two kelurahan of Cibeunying and Padasuka.
Bandung Regency is bordered by:
Because of the mountainous nature of parts of the Bandung Regency, major landslides are a significant natural hazard for the people of the area. In February 2010, for example, over 15 people were killed in a large landslide in the Ciwidey area.
