Key Facts

Buruway is a district (kecamatan) located in Kaimana Regency, within the province of West Papua (Papua Barat), Indonesia. Situated in the southern part of the Bird's Head Peninsula, Buruway occupies a strategic coastal position along the vast Cenderawasih Bay, making it an important maritime area within the regency. This district covers approximately 1,200 square kilometers of diverse terrain that includes coastal lowlands, mangrove forests, and inland forested hills typical of the Papuan landscape. With an estimated population of around 8,000-10,000 people, Buruway maintains a relatively low population density compared to more urbanized areas of Indonesia. The district is administratively divided into several villages (desa) that serve as the primary settlement areas for the local communities. As with many districts in Papua, Buruway's economy is primarily based on subsistence agriculture, fishing, and small-scale trade, with the coastal location providing important fishing grounds for local communities. The district's infrastructure includes basic administrative facilities, schools, and health centers that serve the scattered village populations across its territory.
