Pasuruan Regency (Javanese: ꦏꦧꦸꦥꦠꦺꦤ꧀ꦥꦱꦸꦫꦸꦃꦲꦤ꧀) is a regency in East Java, a province of Indonesia. The capital of this regency is Bangil. The regency covers an area of 1,474.02 km2, and it had a population of 1,512,468 at the 2010 Census[2] and 1,605,969 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as of mid-2024 was 1,665,922 (comprising 831,105 males and 834,817 females).[1]

These figures exclude the population of Pasuruan city, which lies geographically within this regency (except on the north side, where it faces onto the Madura Strait) but is administratively separate from it. There are moves underway to make Bangil the new administrative center of Pasuruan Regency, with some offices being transferred from Pasuruan city to Bangil.[4]

The Dutch spelling of the name of the regency and of the city was 'Pasoeroean'.

Demographics

[edit]
Distribution of languages in Greater Pasuruan (city and regency) with color symbols.

The regional languages used in Pasuruan Regency are mainly Javanese (Arekan or Eastern Javanese dialect), there is also Madurese (Pasuruan dialect), especially in the east, and Tenggerese around the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area. Indonesian serves as the official language and lingua franca.

Administrative districts

[edit]

Pasuruan Regency is divided into 24 districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and population totals from the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as of mid-2024.[1] For convenience of reference the districts are grouped in four geographical sectors which have no administrative significance, but serve to indicate the differing population densities in the south and the north of the regency, with the south having over 50% of the area but only 29% of the population of the regency. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 341 rural desa and 24 urban kelurahan), and their postal codes.
