(b) comprising 4 kelurahan (with populations in mid 2022) - Dusun Bangko (12,968), Pasar Bangko (2,338), Pasar Atas Bangko (5,884) and Pematang Kandis (16,624) - plus 4 desa.

However, the last-mentioned eight districts, comprising the northern 26.45% of Merangin Regency, are planned to be separated out to form a new Regency - Kabupaten Tabir Raya; these eight districts cover 1,995.49 km2 and had an estimated combined population of 113,841 at the 2020 census,[3] rising to an estimated 120,463 in mid 2025.[1] However, the implementation of this scheme is delayed due to the moratorium (since 2013) by the Indonesian Government on the creation of new regencies and cities.

Merangin Geopark

[edit]

Merangin Geopark has been proposed to UNESCO to be a World's Heritage Merangin Geopark and a UNESCO team has visited Merangin Geopark. The Geopark has a Araucarioxylon fossil tree complete with the root of 300 million years, the oldest in Asia. Today the ancient Merangin River is usually used for white water sports.[4]
