Administrative districts

edit

The Regency is divided into 35 districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as of mid-2023.[1]

These are grouped geographically for convenience into 3 parts (without any administrative significance) - the relatively underpopulated southern group facing onto the Java Sea but including the renowned Ujung Kulon National Park, with 50.3% of the regency's land area; a middle group including 40.0% of the land area and 54% of its population; and a northeast group centered on the urbanised Pandeglang, Majasari and Karangtanjung Districts, with just 9.7& of the regency's land area but with 32.76% of its population.

The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 326 rural desa and 13 urban kelurahan - the latter comprising the urban centres of Pandeglang, Majasari and Karangtanjung Districts, all in the northeast corner of the regency), and its postal codes.

Tourism

edit

The regency contains the Ujung Kulon National Park, covering 497.59 km2, including the entirety of the large peninsula in the southwest corner of the regency, together with most of the offshore islands including Panaitan Island and Peucang Island, and famous for its single-horned Javan rhinoceros and crocodiles. It also includes Carita Beach, Tanjung Lesung Beach Resort and the public Bodur Beach (also in Tanjung Lesung).[39]

Special Economic Zone

edit

Based on Government Regulation (PP) No. 26/2012, PT Jababeka Tbk has been mandated to develop a Special Economic Zone in Tanjung Lesung. It is located 170 kilometers from Jakarta, via the Jakarta–Tangerang Toll Road, then the Tangerang–Merak Toll Road, and finally the small road to Tanjung Lesung, taking in all 4 to 5 hours. So, the company will build an 83-kilometer highway from Serang to Panimbang, because building a toll road will be difficult with the land acquisitions. An airstrip in Panimbang is also being considered because from there it only needs 10 minutes to reach Tanjung Lesung. The company has acquired partners to build a Cruise Port in a 50 hectares area, which will be built soon.[40]
