What to Know About Asmat

Key Facts

Asmat is a regency located in the southern part of Papua province, Indonesia. Situated along the southwestern coast of Papua, this administrative region covers a vast area of approximately 31,983 square kilometers, making it one of the larger regencies in the province. The regency takes its name from the Asmat people, one of Papua's most well-known indigenous groups renowned for their intricate woodcarving traditions and cultural heritage. Geographically, Asmat is characterized by extensive lowland swamps, mangrove forests, and numerous rivers that flow into the Arafura Sea, creating a challenging but ecologically rich landscape. With a population of approximately 110,000 people, the regency maintains relatively low population density due to its difficult terrain and limited infrastructure. Asmat is administratively divided into 19 districts, each containing multiple villages that serve as centers for local governance and community life. The regency's economy primarily relies on subsistence agriculture, fishing, and the production of traditional crafts, though limited infrastructure development presents ongoing challenges for economic growth and service delivery. For those seeking to access postal services or communicate with residents across this expansive region, understanding the specific postal codes for each of Asmat's 19 districts is essential for effective mail delivery and administrative correspondence.
