Puncak Jaya Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of Central Papua. It is an inland highland regency,[2] lying directly east of Paniai Regency and west of Jayawijaya Regency and Tolikara Regency (including those new regencies which have subsequently been created within the former boundaries of those regencies).[3] As of 2004, it was reported that these four regencies had a population that is 93–97% ethnic Papua;[2] however this included areas which have subsequently been formed into new regencies.
In 2008 an additional regency - simply named Puncak Regency - was created from the western part of the area of Puncak Jaya Regency. The residual Puncak Jaya Regency covers an area of 6,515 km2, and had a population of 101,148 at the 2010 Census[4] which increased to 224,527 at the 2020 Census;[5] the official estimate as of mid-2022 was 231,499.[1]
The capital of the regency is Mulia.[6][7][8]
According to a 2009 profile in Indonesia's Tempo magazine, Puncak Jaya had sixteen districts (distrik) 147 villages, and 147,000 residents;[9] However this did not take into account the fact that under Law No. 7/2008, eight of these districts had already been removed from Puncak Jaya Regency in 2008 and formed into a separate Puncak Regency in 2008. The 2010 Census revealed a population of 101,148 in the residual Puncak Jaya Regency,[4] which by the 2020 Census had more than doubled to 224,527.[5] It is a difficult ten-hour drive from Wamena (Jayawijaya Regency) to the mostly undeveloped regency. Separatists in the Free Papua Movement are active in the area.[9]
