North Paser of Penajam, Administrative region in East Kalimantan, Indonesia
North Paser is an administrative region in East Kalimantan that spans across multiple districts and encompasses both land and sea territories. The area is organized into several administrative subdivisions that together make up this region.
This area gained its own administrative status in 2002 when it separated from Paser Regency and became independently governed. This reorganization created new boundaries and established a fresh administrative structure for this part of Kalimantan.
Multiple ethnic groups including Banjar, Kutai, Bugis, and Dayak Paser communities shape the region and keep their own languages and customs alive. Visitors can experience these cultural differences in local architecture, celebrations, and daily practices.
The region has basic infrastructure with schools and medical facilities spread across different locations to serve the population. Visitors should know that services are distributed across several centers, and accessibility may vary depending on where you are in the area.
Portions of this region are part of the development area for Indonesia's new capital city and are undergoing significant changes. This transformation is reshaping infrastructure and growth in ways that make this area notable for the country's future plans.
