Along with Papua Barat (West Papua), Papua is one of the two provinces of Western New Guinea , the Indonesian part of the island of New Guinea .
Initially, Western New Guinea was the colony of Dutch New Guinea . After a controversial vote ( Act of Free Choice , AFC) in 1969 , the whole of Western New Guinea was incorporated into the state of Indonesia as Irian Jaya Province . The result is said to have been manipulated by forging votes against the real will of the indigenous Papuans , who saw it as an interference with their autonomy. The resulting Papuan conflict is the reason for the strong Indonesian military presence on site. In 2003 Western New Guinea / Irian Jaya was divided into the provinces of Papua and Papua Barat (West Papua).
The up to 4884 m ( Carstensz pyramid ) high central mountain range crosses the province from west to east, the south is flat and partly crossed by swamps. Most of the settlements, including the capital Jayapura , are on the north coast.
Administrative division
As in the rest of Indonesia, the number of administrative units in the province of Papua rose steadily. If the population censuses (Census, Indonesian Sensus Penduduk ) of 1971 and 1980 counted 6 Kabupaten (government districts, English Regency) - namely Merauke, Jayawijaya, Jayapura, Yapen Waropen, Biak Namfor and Paniai - ten years later there were already nine and the city (Indonesian Kota ) Jayapura. In 2000 the number 29 (including Kota Jayapura ) was reached.
The number of districts (Indonesian district ) rose from 389 to 499 between 2012 and 2015, the number of villages (Indonesian: Desa , also known as Kampung in the province of Papua ) rose from 3,619 to 4,445 in the same period. Only after the secession and formation of the West Papua province (2003) did this number decrease again slightly. The following list shows the latest status (1st half of 2017) of the subordinate administrative units in the province of Papua.
