Bangka Regency

Bangka Regency is an administrative district in Bangka Belitung Islands, with Sungai Liat serving as its central hub spread across thirteen administrative divisions. The area comprises twelve urban villages and one rural village forming the local governance structure.

The regency was founded on April 27, 1766, and developed into a key administrative center for the region. This long history shaped it into an established community.

Malay and Hakka Chinese communities shape daily life in this regency, with their traditions visible in local customs and practices. Different religious beliefs coexist peacefully in neighborhoods and public spaces.

Main roads like Jalan S. Parman and Jalan Jenderal Sudirman connect the regency to nearby Pangkalpinang, making travel straightforward. The area has numerous schools and educational facilities spread throughout its divisions.

The regency earned eight Adipura trophies for maintaining cleanliness and order in its public spaces, a recognition program across Indonesia. This repeated achievement reflects the community's dedication to maintaining well-organized neighborhoods.
