Alor Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Alor) is a regency (kabupaten) in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province of Indonesia. Established on 5 August 1958,[2] Alor Regency administers the Alor Archipelago with its administrative seat (capital) in Kalabahi on Alor Island.

Alor Regency occupies 2,918.82 km2 of land area and 10,973.62 km2 of sea area. There are seventeen islands in the archipelago, of which the largest by far are Alor itself and Pantar; there are another six inhabited islands (including Pura, Treweng, Kepa, Buaya, Kangge and Kura); the remaining nine islands (Sika, Nub, Kapas, Batang, Lapang, Ternate, Rusa, Tikus and Kambing) are uninhabited. To the east lies the island of (Atauro), part of the Republic of Timor Leste. Pantar and Alor Islands are separated by a wide strait with Pulau Buaya and Pulau Kambing at its northern point, Pulau Pura in the middle, and Pulau Treweng at its southern point. The regency had 190,026 inhabitants at the 2010 decennial census;[3] at the 2020 census this had risen to 211,872;[4] the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 228,504.[1]

The main transportation access in the regency is by means of sea. The state-owned PELNI sea liners operate in the archipelago for major transport to the main port hub in Kalabahi beside small boats operating between small islands. The Alor Island Airport is located 18 km east of Kalabahi, and is used to be accessed by CASA airplanes, operated by Merpati Nusantara Airlines. In 2018, the airport undergo massive overhaul, and due to Merpati's bankruptcy, the flight routes were currently operated by Wings Air.

As is the case in other parts of NTT province, the provision of education is often a major problem, especially in remote areas. In recent years, the district (regency) government has been trying to make it easier for children to attend school by, amongst other things, increasing the number of one-roof junior high schools. The standard of teaching is often also a major problem because many teachers lack proper qualifications.[5]

Administration

[edit]

At the 2010 Census the regency was divided into seventeen districts (kecamatan), but an eighteenth district (Abad Selatan) was created in 2020 from part of the Alor Barat Daya District. All eighteen districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[3] and the 2020 census,[4] together with the official estimates as at mid 2025.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 158 rural desa and 17 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
