Administration

At the time of the 2010 Census the regency was divided into six districts (kecamatan), an increase from the original four. The first four of these six districts were on the island of Seram; the Gorom and Watubela archipelagoes are groups of smaller islands situated to the southeast of Seram. Subsequently, six additional districts were created in 2012 by the division of the original six districts, and a further three districts were created in 2014, so that the regency is now divided into fifteen districts (kecamatan), of which ten are on the island of Seram and five on the islands to its southeast. These are tabulated below with their present areas and their populations at the 2010[2] and 2020[3] Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages (all classed as rural desa) in each district, and its post code.
