Administrative Districts


As at 2010 the Southwest Maluku Regency was administratively composed of eight districts (kecamatan). But by 2015 the number of districts had increased to seventeen by the splitting of existing districts; Pulau Pulau Wetar (the Wetar Islands) has been divided into four districts - Wetar, Wetar Barat (West Wetar), Wetar Timur (East Wetar) and Wetar Utara (North Wetar); the other six newly created districts are Dawelor Dawera and Pulau Masela (Masela Island) formed from parts of Babar Timur District, Kepulauan Romang (Romang Islands) and Kisar Utara (North Kisar) formed from parts of Pulau Pulau Terselatan District, Pulau Lakor (Lakor Island) formed from part of Moa Lakor District, and Pulau Wetang (Wetang Island) formed from part of Pulau Pulau Babar District.

The districts are formally grouped into three archipelagoes - the Terselatan Group (including Wetar, as well as Kisar and Romang Islands), the Lemola Group (Letti, Moa and Lakor) and the Babar Group (including the Damer and Sermata Islands). The areas (in km2)[2] and the populations at the 2010 census and 2020 census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2021,[4] are listed below. The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its post code.
