South Bangka Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Bangka Selatan) is a regency (kabupaten) of Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia, with the town of Toboali as its regency seat. It also includes several small islands off the coast of Bangka in the Gaspar Strait, such as Lepar and Pongok. The regency covers an area of 3,607.08 km2 and had a population of 172,476 at the 2010 Census[2] and 198,189 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 202,263.[1]

Administrative districts

At the time of the 2010 Census, the Regency was divided into seven districts (kecamatan), but in 2013 an eighth district was added by the splitting of the Lepar Pongok District into separate districts based on Lepar Island and Pongok Island respectively. The districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2022.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the numbers of administrative villages in each district (totaling 50 rural desa and 3 urban kelurahan), and its postal code.
