Bandung Regency (Kabupaten 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 1,762.40 km2. In the 2010 Census, the population of this residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments,[2] while the 2020 Census increased the total to 3,623,790;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 3,721,111 - comprising 1,894,101 males and 1,827,010 females,[4] for an average density of roughly 2,111.4 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[5] and 2020 Census,[6] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[7] 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.
