South Hulu Sungai, Administrative region in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Description
South Hulu Sungai is an administrative regency in South Kalimantan that covers roughly 1,800 square kilometers across eleven districts. Kandangan serves as the main administrative center where local government operations are based.
History
The region came into being through the division of the original Hulu Sungai territory in 1959. Further administrative changes followed in 1965 when Tapin Regency was separated from the original area.
Culture
The name reflects the region's geography, with 'Hulu Sungai' meaning 'river source' in the local language, referring to the upland areas where water flows down from higher elevations. The people here have long organized themselves through community meetings where decisions come from shared discussion rather than top-down orders.
Practical
The region divides into 148 villages spread across its eleven districts, each with its own postal code system. This organization helps with mail delivery and local administrative matters.
Did you know?
The districts here include places like Loksado and Telaga Langsat, which sit in the upland interior away from major population centers. These locations offer quieter glimpses of regional life far from the main administrative hub.
