Puncak Jaya Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of Central Papua. It is an inland highland regency, [2] lying directly east of Paniai Regency and west of Jayawijaya Regency and Tolikara Regency (including those new regencies which have subsequently been created within the former boundaries of those regencies). [3] As of 2004, it was reported that these four regencies had a population that is 93–97% ethnic Papua; [2] however this included areas which have subsequently been formed into new regencies.

Contents

In 2008 an additional regency - simply named Puncak Regency - was created from the western part of the area of Puncak Jaya Regency. The residual Puncak Jaya Regency covers an area of 6,515 km2, and had a population of 101,148 at the 2010 Census [4] which increased to 224,527 at the 2020 Census; [5] the official estimate as of mid-2022 was 231,499. [1]

The capital of the regency is Mulia. [6] [7] [8]

According to a 2009 profile in Indonesia's Tempo magazine, Puncak Jaya had sixteen districts (distrik) 147 villages, and 147,000 residents; [9] However this did not take into account the fact that under Law No. 7/2008, eight of these districts had already been removed from Puncak Jaya Regency in 2008 and formed into a separate Puncak Regency in 2008. The 2010 Census revealed a population of 101,148 in the residual Puncak Jaya Regency, [4] which by the 2020 Census had more than doubled to 224,527. [5] It is a difficult ten-hour drive from Wamena (Jayawijaya Regency) to the mostly undeveloped regency. Separatists in the Free Papua Movement are active in the area. [9]

Administrative districts

At the 2010 Census, the existing regency comprised eight districts (distrik), tabulated below with their populations at the 2010 Census. [4]

However, by 2018 these had been split to create additional districts, which in 2018 numbered twenty-six, listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2020 Census. [5] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centre, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 302 rural kampong and 3 urban kelurahan), and its postcode. The nineteen new districts created by 2018 are Dagai, Dokome, Gubume, Gurage, Ilamburawi, Irimuli, Kalome, Kiyage, Lumo, Molanikime, Muara, Nioga, Nume, Pagaleme, Taganombak, Waegi, Wanwi, Yambi and Yamoneri; the previous Jigonikme District has ceased to exist.
