Pelalawan, Administrative region in Riau, Indonesia
Pelalawan covers 13,408 square kilometers of land with twelve districts, including urban areas and rural settlements across eastern Sumatra island.
The establishment of Pelalawan regency occurred in October 1999 when authorities divided the former Kampar region, allocating 43 percent to form this new territory.
The Petalangan community maintains traditional Indonesian practices throughout the districts, influencing local governance and social structures within the regency.
The administrative center of Pangkalan Kerinci connects the twelve districts through a network of roads, serving over 415,000 residents as of 2023.
The region contains multiple islands, including Mendol, Serapung, and Muda, while the Kampar River splits the territory into two distinct sections.
