Geography

[edit]

Sorong Regency is one of the regencies which is administratively included in the territory of the new Southwest Papua Province. Sorong Regency is located at 00° 33' 42” - 01° 35' 29" South Latitude and 130° 40' 49" - 132° 13' 48” East Longitude.[5]

Administrative Districts

[edit]

At the time of the 2010 Census, the Sorong Regency was divided into eighteen administrative districts (distrik). However, since 2013 Moraid District has been transferred to the expanded Tambrauw Regency, while thirteen additional districts have been created in Sorong Regency by the division of existing districts. Thus Sorong Regency now comprises thirty districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their populations at the 2010 Census[3] and 2020 Census,[4] together with the official estimates as of mid-2023.[1]

The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 231 rural kampung and 26 urban kelurahan), and its postcode.

While the areas given above for the districts are exactly as given in BPS official statistics, they are highly questionable (note the repetition of certain values).

Notes: (a) the 2010 population of the new districts is included with the figures for the districts from which they were separated.
(b) includes 1 kelurahan (Makbon - the district centre).
(c) Notwithstanding the names, Salawati District and Salawati Timur District - the latter now called Moisigin district - do not lie on Salawati Island, but on the Papuan 'mainland'.
(d) comprises 4 kelurahan (Katinim, Mararan, Majener, and Matawolat) and 3 kampung.
(e) comprises 3 kelurahan (Makbalim, Makbosun, and Mayamuk) and 8 kampung.
(f) Salawati Selatan District and Salawati Tengah District are situated on the island of Salawati and are thus geographically part of the Raja Ampat island group.
Note particularly that Raja Ampat Regency also contains a district on Salawati Island which is confusingly also named "Salawati Tengah".
(g) the 2010 population of the new Salawati Tengah District is included with the figure for Salawati Selatan District from which it was separated.
(h) comprises 11 kelurahan (Aimas, Klabinain, Klafma, Klaigit, Malagusa, Malasom, Malawele, Malawili, Mariat Gunung, Mariat Pantai, and Warmon) and 3 kampung.
(j) comprises 7 kelurahan (Jamaimo, Klamalu, Klamasen, Klaru, Klasukuk, Maklalut, and Mariyai) and 4 kampung.

Climate

[edit]

Aimas, the seat of the regency has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round. Unlike most parts of Indonesia, it experiences a rainfall maximum during the low-sun season due to local wind currents.
