Gunung Mas Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Gunung Mas) is one of the thirteen regencies which comprise the Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The regency seat is located at the town of Kuala Kurun. The population of Gunung Mas Regency was 96,900 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 regency existed for quite someitmes between 1965 to 1979 until it was absorbed to larger Kapuas Regency and downgraded into district status. Its status as a regency was restored following rapid decentralization and democratization following fall of Suharto. The regency is the 5th highest in the province in terms of Human Development Index.

History

Etymology

The regency name literally translates to "gold mountain".[4] The name origin came from the abundance of gold during Dutch East Indies era, especially around village of Sumur Mas, which the village's name literally translates to "well of gold". Around the village, a mountain is also named "Gunung Mas".[5] There are remnants of gold industry from colonial era seen today in the region such as abandoned factory chimneys and holes used to mine gold.[5][6]

Due to its colonial origin, there have been some call to change the name of the regency.[6][4] The local government argues that the name does not reflect motto of the regency, Habangkalan Penyang Karuhei Tatau, which is derived from local Ngaju language and local wisdom, while the regency name came from colonial legacy of the Dutch East Indies and hence should be changed.[6]

Erstellung

The regency came into existance first on 1 October 1964, when it was named Kahayan Hulu Administrative Regency. On 1 May 1965, the regency was renamed Gunung Mas Administrative Regency. This status as a regency however changed on 28 April 1979 when the regency's status was downgraded into subdivision of the larger Kapuas Regency. The title of the administrative head changed from a regent (bupati) to chief office of assistant for Gunung Mas region.[7]

The status of the region changed again after Reformasi, when it become district (kecamatan) which named Kurun District on 1999 before being returned again into regency status on 2002.[7] The regency was created back after being demanded by local figures, traditional Dayak chiefs, and residents of the region with "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 the creation of the regency finally came on 10 April 2002 based on Law Number 5 of 2002.[7]
