Central Bangka

Central Bangka is an administrative region in Bangka Belitung Islands province, consisting of six districts spread across the territory. Koba serves as the local administrative center.

The region was created through Indonesian administrative reforms that reorganized Bangka Belitung Islands province. This restructuring established its current administrative boundaries.

The people here maintain deep connections to mining heritage and maritime traditions that shape daily routines. Local markets and village centers serve as gathering places where community bonds and traditional practices remain visible.

The region is accessible through regional transport routes, with Koba offering main services as the administrative hub. Visitors should check with local authorities for information about specific villages and road conditions.

The area was historically known for tin mining, which shaped settlement patterns and local economy. Traces of this mining activity remain visible in the landscape and in present-day local pursuits.
