South Lampung Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Lampung Selatan) is a regency of Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia, a strip of land surrounding the provincial capital of Bandar Lampung on its northern and eastern sides, and bounded to the west by the new Pesawaran Regency and to the south by the Sunda Strait; as such it is a major transit corridor to/from Java island. It has an area of 2,109.74 km2, and a population of 909,989 at the 2010 Census[2] ) and 1,064,301 at the 2020 census.[3] The regency seat is the town of .

The regency has seen a population influx as migrants escape the crushing population densities and everyday struggles of living in the massive urban paralysis of Greater Jakarta, and along with Bandar Lampung city its character is increasingly reflecting the cosmopolitan makeup of Jakartans rather than the surrounds of a typical provincial capital and hinterland. This has resulted in flaring of ethnic tensions, including rioting.[4]

Administrative Districts[]

South Lampung Regency consists of seventeen districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[5] and the 2020 Census,[6] the latter rounded off to the nearest 100 persons. The districts are grouped below for descriptive convenience into a "Northern zone" comprising the heavily-populated areas suburban to Bandar Lampung city, and a "Southern zone" comprising the areas to the southeast of Bandar Lampung; these zones have no administrative significance. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district and its post code.

History[]

Pesawaran Regency, formerly that part of South Lampung Regency lying to the west of Bandar Lampung, was carved out of it in 2007.

In January 2011, tens of thousands of inhabitants of South Lampung had to be evacuated by the South Lampung Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) in the seven districts of Kalianda, Rajabasa, Katibung, Sidomulyo, Ketapang, Sragi and Palas due to volcanic ash from the Mount Anak Krakatau.[7] There is an observation station at village in South Lampung used to monitor activity.
