Takalar Regency (Makasar: ᨈᨀᨒᨑ, romanized: Takalara’, Makasar pronunciation: [taˈkalaraʔ]) is a regency of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. It covers an area of 566.51 km2 and had a population of 269,603 at the 2010 census[2] and 300,853 at the 2020 census.[3] The official mid-2023 population estimate was 326,044 (comprising 159,339 males and 166,705 females).[1] The entire regency lies within the official metropolitan area of the city of Makassar (the metropolitan area is known as Mamminasata). The principal towns are at Galesong and Takalar, but the administrative centre is at Pattallassang.
Administrative division
[edit]At the 2010 census the regency was divided into nine districts (Indonesian: kecamatan), but a tenth district (Kepulauan Tanakeke) was subsequently cut out of Mappakusunggu District. These districts are tabulated below with detail about their area, population at the 2010[2] and 2020 census,[3] and the official mid-2023 population estimates.[1] Two additional districts were subsequently added in late 2022 - Polombangkeng Timur cut out from part of Polombangkeng Utara District, and Laikang from part of Mangara Bombang District; no separate figures are yet available for their areas and populations, which are included with the figures for the district from which they were cut out. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages in each district (totaling 86 rural desa and 24 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes.
