South Aceh Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Aceh Selatan) is a regency in the Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the west coast of the island of Sumatra. The regency covers an area of 4,173.82 square kilometres and had a population of 202,251 at the 2010 Census[2] and 232,414 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official population estimate in mid 2024 was 241,994.[1] Its population density was thus 48.5 inhabitants/km2 at the 2010 census, 55.7 inhabitants/km2 at the 2020 census, and 58.0 inhabitants/km2 in mid 2024. The seat of the regency government is at Tapaktuan.

Demography

[edit]

While some 60% of the Regency's population are ethically Achinese, some 30% of the people of the regency are Minangkabau-descended Aneuk Jamee and about 10% are ethnically Kluet people.[4]

History

[edit]

South Aceh Regency was originally created on 14 November 1956 (under Emergency Law No.7 of 1956) from the former southeastern districts of West Aceh Regency. On 20 April 1999 (under Law No.14 of 1999) its own southeastern districts were in turn split off to create a separate Aceh Singkil Regency, and it was further reduced in size on 10 April 2002 (under Law No.4 of 2002) by further districts in the northwest of the regency being split off to create a Southwest Aceh Regency.

Administrative districts

[edit]

At the time of the 2010 Census, the regency was divided administratively into sixteen districts (kecamatan). Later in 2010, two additional districts (Trumon Tengah and Kota Bahagia) were carved out of the existing districts. The districts are listed below with their areas and populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates for mid 2024.[1] The districts are grouped into five geographical units, which have no administrative significance. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (gampong) in each district, and its postal codes.
