=== Creation ===
The regency was initially created on 1 October 1964 as Kahayan Hulu Administrative Regency, and was renamed Gunung Mas Administrative Regency on 1 May 1965. On 28 April 1979,the regency became a subdivision of the larger [[Kapuas Regency]], while the title of its administrative head changed from a regent (''bupati'') to chief office of assistant for Gunung Mas region.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|last=Swastika|first=Hendra|date=2018-03-14|title=Sejarah Singkat Pembentukan Kabupaten Gunung Mas|url=https://gunungmaskab.go.id/index.php/2018/03/14/sejarah-singkat-pembentukan-kabupaten-gunung-mas/|access-date=2021-12-26|website=Pemerinthah Kabupaten Gunung Mas|language=id-ID}}</ref>

In 1999, after [[Reformasi (Indonesia)|Reformasi]], the region became Kurun District (''kecamatan'').<ref name=":3" /> Subsequently, demands were made by local figures, traditional Dayak chiefs, and residents of the region in the "Declaration by Gunung Mas Society" (Indonesian:''Deklasari Masyarakat Gunung Mas'').<ref name=":3" /> The declaration resulted in three points, which:

# To acknowledge Wednesday the 21st of March 2001 as the birth date of Gunung Mas Regency with the regency seat in Kuala Kurun.
# To demand central government of Indonesia to proceed with the creation of the Gunung Mas Regency in accordance of the law.
# Other matters to fulfill the requirements for the establishment of a regency as written in the Government Regulation No. 129 of 2000 will be processed in the shortest possible time.<ref name=":3" />

The declaration was read on 21 March 2001, and as a result, the regency was formed on 10 April 2002 based on Law Number 5 of 2002.<ref name=":3" />

Gunung Mas Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Gunung Mas) is one of the thirteen regencies of Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The regency seat is located at the town of Kuala Kurun in Kurun District. The population area of Gunung Mas Regency is 19,894 km2, and its population was 96,990 at the 2010 census (an increase from 74,823 at the previous census in 2000)[2] and 135,373 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 142,835 (comprising 75,066 males and 67,769 females).[1] The regency initially existed between 1965 and 1979, after which it was a district within Kapuas Regency. Its status as a separate regency was restored on 10 April 2002 following rapid decentralization and democratization after the fall of Suharto. The regency has the 5th highest Human Development Index in the province.

History

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The regency's name literally translates to "gold mountain".[4] The name originates the abundance of gold during the Dutch East Indies era, especially around the village of Sumur Mas, which name literally translates to "well of gold", while a nearby mountain is named "Gunung Mas".[5] Remains of the colonial era gold industry, such as abandoned factory chimneys and holes used to mine gold, can still be seen in the region today such .[5][6]

Due to its colonial origin, there have been calls to change the name of the regency,[6][4] such as by the local government, which argues that the name does not reflect the regency's motto, Habangkalan Penyang Karuhei Tatau, which is derived from the local Ngaju language and local wisdom.[6]

Erstellung

[edit]

The regency was initially created on 1 October 1964 as Kahayan Hulu Administrative Regency, and was renamed Gunung Mas Administrative Regency on 1 May 1965. On 28 April 1979,the regency became a subdivision of the larger Kapuas Regency, while the title of its administrative head changed from a regent (bupati) to chief office of assistant for Gunung Mas region.[7]

In 1999, after Reformasi, the region became Kurun District (kecamatan).[7] Subsequently, demands were made by local figures, traditional Dayak chiefs, and residents of the region in the "Declaration by Gunung Mas Society" (Indonesian:Deklasari Masyarakat Gunung Mas).[7] The declaration resulted in three points, which:

  1. To acknowledge Wednesday the 21st of March 2001 as the birth date of Gunung Mas Regency with the regency seat in Kuala Kurun.
  2. To demand central government of Indonesia to proceed with the creation of the Gunung Mas Regency in accordance of the law.
  3. Other matters to fulfill the requirements for the establishment of a regency as written in the Government Regulation No. 129 of 2000 will be processed in the shortest possible time.[7]

The declaration was read on 21 March 2001, and as a result, the regency was formed on 10 April 2002 based on Law Number 5 of 2002.[7]

Governance

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

The Gunung Mas Regency is a second-level administrative division equivalent to a city, and is headed by a democratically elected regent. District heads are appointed directly by the regent on the recommendation of the regency secretary. Executive power lies with the regent and vice regent while legislative function is exercised by the regency's parliament.[8][9][10]

Politics

[edit]

Together with Palangka Raya and Katingan Regency, the regency forms part of the 1st Central Kalimantan electoral district, electing 10 out of 45 representatives in the provincial parliament. At the local level, the regency is divided into three electoral districts which have a total of 25 representatives.[11]

Electoral districts Region Representatives
1st Gunung Mas Kurun, Mihing Raya, and Sepang District 8
2nd Gunung Mas Manuhing Raya, Manuhing, Rungan, West Rungan, and Rungan Hulu District 9
