South Lampung Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Lampung Selatan) is a regency of Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia, a strip of land surrounding the provincial capital of Bandar Lampung on its northern and eastern sides. The regency is bounded to the west by the new Pesawaran Regency, to the northeast by the East Lampung Regency, and to the south by the Sunda Strait; as such it is a major transit corridor to/from Java island. It has an area of 2,109.74 km2, and a population of 909,989 at the 2010 census[2] and 1,064,301 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 1,101,376 (comprising 560,209 males and 541,167 females).[1] The regency seat is the town of Kalianda.
South Lampung Regency originally comprised a larger share of the area of Lampung Province, but on 3 January 1997 its far west districts were split off to create a new Tanggamus Regency (then including what became Pringsewu Regency in 2008), and on 14 August 2007 the western districts of the remaining South Lampung Regency were also split off to create a new Pesawaran Regency.
The regency has seen a population influx as migrants escape the crushing population densities and everyday struggles of living in the massive urban paralysis of Greater Jakarta, and along with Bandar Lampung city its character is increasingly reflecting the cosmopolitan makeup of Jakartans rather than the surrounds of a typical provincial capital and hinterland. This has resulted in flaring of ethnic tensions, including rioting.[4]
