(United to Work Faithfully Towards Glory) Jayapura Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in Papua Province of Indonesia. It is situated to the west of but does not include the city of Jayapura. Previously covering most of the north-east portion of Papua province, it was reduced substantially in extent from 12 November 2002, when the eastern districts were split off to form a new Keerom Regency and the western districts were split off to form a new Sarmi Regency. It now covers an area of 17,516.6 km2 (but see Note (h) under table below), and had a population of 111,943 at the 2010 Census and 166,171 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 203,772 (comprising 105,242 males and 98,530 females). The administrative centre is the town of Sentani, which had 26,518 inhabitants in mid 2024 in the 20.562 of its town (kelurahan) area.
Administrative districts
Following the 2002 reductions in area, the existing regency comprises nineteen districts (distrik), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024. The twelve districts listed below from Kaureh to Yokari represent the inland part of the regency, in the west and south (although Demta and Yokari Districts are on the coast), while the seven districts listed below from Depapre to Sentani Timur represent the coastal part of the regency and the area including Lake Sentani and the Cyclops Mountains in the more densely-populated northeast. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 139 rural kampung and 5 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
