South Tangerang (Indonesian: Tangerang Selatan) is a city in the province of Banten, Indonesia. Located 30 km (19 mi) on the southwestern border of Jakarta, the city forms part of the Greater Jakarta metropolitan area. It was administratively separated from Tangerang Regency on 26 November 2008.[2] According to the 2020 Census, the city population was 1,354,350 inhabitants,[3] while the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 1,404,785 - comprising 700,754 males and 704,031 females.[1] The total area is 164.85 km2 (63.65 sq mi).[4] It is the second-largest city in Banten (after Tangerang city immediately to its north) in terms of population, and has grown rapidly, not only as Jakarta's satellite city, but also the development of business districts and commerce due to presence of large-scale planned town by private developers.
South Tangerang is home to some planned towns built by private developers, the notable ones are Alam Sutera (in North Serpong), BSD City (in Serpong and Setu), and Bintaro Jaya (in Pondok Aren and Ciputat), complete with facilities such as business centres, shopping malls, and international schools. Currently, its average land price is the most expensive among Jakarta's satellite cities.[5]
History
[edit]The municipality of South Tangerang is an autonomous city established on 26 November 2008, based on Banten province's constitution. This establishment was a division out of the Tangerang Regency, to support the better development of government service, construction project, community service, and also to utilize the natural potential so that a greater public welfare could be achieved.[6]
Situ Gintung flood
[edit]Situ Gintung reservoir was built by the Dutch colonial authorities in 1933. It is located at the kelurahan of Cirendeu in East Ciputat District. It was surrounded by a dam up to 16 metres (52 ft) high, which failed on 27 March 2009 with the resulting floods killing at least 93 people.[7]
Demographics
[edit]Languages
[edit].png)
The dominant languages used in South Tangerang are Betawi and Tangerang Sundanese languages. Betawi is spoken in almost all areas of South Tangerang, except in the western part along the Cisadane River. Meanwhile, Sundanese is spoken in the west along the Cisadane River, which is predominantly used in villages on the banks of the river, especially in North Serpong. In several communities located in the western part there are also several areas undergoing a language shift, which are mostly found in Serpong, Setu, and a small number of villages in the western part of Pondok Aren.[8] In fact, there is a village in Setu district namely the Keranggan Ecotourism and Sundanese Culture Village (Kampung Ekowisata dan Budaya Sunda Keranggan), where almost all the people used to speak Sundanese (currently it is only spoken predominantly in 2 RT).[9][10]

Transportation
[edit]
The city is served mainly by land transportation. Buses, minibuses and taxis are the main methods of transportation available. The public transportation mostly goes to Jakarta since many of the residents of South Tangerang commute to Jakarta on a daily basis. There are feeder buses for TransJakarta. The feeder buses goes from Bumi Serpong Damai and Bintaro Jaya to downtown Jakarta in Senayan.
Main road and highway in the city are:
Main road:
- Jl. Raya Serpong
- Jl. Pahlawan Seribu, BSD City
- Jl. Kapten Soebianto Djojohadjikusumo, BSD City
- Jl. Pelayangan, BSD City
- Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, Ciputat
- Jl. Ciater Raya
- Jl. Alam Sutera Boulevard
- Jl. Boulevard Bintaro Jaya
Highway:
- Jakarta-Serpong Toll Road (connecting Serpong and South Jakarta/JORR 1)
- Serpong-Cinere Toll Road (connecting Serpong and Cinere in Depok)
- Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road (connecting Kunciran in Tangerang City/Soekarno Hatta Airport and Serpong)
- Serpong-Balaraja Toll Road (in progress for section 1A) (connecting Serpong and Balaraja in Tangerang Regency)
The city is also served by commuter rail service KRL Commuterline for those commuters who work in Jakarta. There are five stations located in South Tangerang, namely Jurangmangu, Pondok Ranji, Rawa Buntu, Serpong and Sudimara. All stations serves the Tanah Abang – Rangkasbitung Line.
There are two toll roads servicing the city, namely Jakarta–Serpong Toll Road and Jakarta–Tangerang Toll Road. There are also several toll roads currently under planning. The plans are for a Serpong-Balaraja Toll Road which will continue the Jakarta-Serpong toll road, and Jakarta Outer Ring Road 2 which will be connecting the city to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in the near future. Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road and Serpong-Cinere Toll Road are the latest new infrastructure built in the city.
Pondok Cabe Airport – which is used for military and civilian services – is the only airport located within the city boundaries. It is owned by PT Pertamina, the national oil company. The airport is also used for the maintenance base for Pelita Air Service, also owned by PT Pertamina.
Cycle rickshaws (becak) are still available in some areas in the city. Becak is the only method of transportation currently forbidden to operate in Jakarta as its slow speed has allegedly led to congestion in the traffic of Jakarta. However, since South Tangerang is located on the outskirts of Jakarta (instead of the city proper), it is allowed in the city.
In April 2015, Corridor-2 of Trans Anggrek Circle Line which is similar to TransJakarta has been launched to serve public from Pondok Cabe Terminal to Rawa Buntu Station of KRL Jabodetabek. It was free until end of 2015, but only operated between 06:00–09:00, 11:00-14:00 and 16:00–18:00 with notation time of serve will be added as needed. The other seven corridors will be applied gradually.[13]
