Administration
Kutai Kartanegara Regency is divided into 18 districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their 2010 Census population:
Bukit Bangkirai rainforest
Bukit Bangkirai (Bangkirai Hill) is an 1,500-hectare natural tropical located about 58 kilometers (around 45 minutes by car) from the city of Balikpapan. Plants of the Dipterocarpaceae family dominate in the area, especially Bangkirai trees (Shorea laevis of the Shorea genus) growing to 40–50 meters in height. There are over 120 bird species as well as gibbons (Müller's Bornean gibbon), macaque monkeys (Southern pig-tailed macaques, Crab-eating macaques), Maroon leaf monkeys, Banded pigs, and Banggai crows. Black Orchids (Coelogyne pandurata), among 45 kinds of orchids, are endemic to Bukit Bangkirai.
To visit the forest, visitors can walk along a 64-meter canopy bridge which connects five big Bangkirai trees 30 meters above the ground.
Mangrove information, research center
East Kalimantan province has developed an 18-hectare plot of land for mangrove information and research center in Sepatin village, in Anggana district, as Bali has done. It will functioning as a research, exhibition, information, breeding as well as education center on mangroves, especially in the Mahakam Delta.
Smart City
In early 2015 it was announced that part of Kutai Kartanegara Regency had been selected to be a trial 'smart city', the first in Indonesia, based on the Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town (SST) concept. The aim of the SST concept was to reduce CO2 emissions by 70 percent and reduce consumption of water by 30 percent. The Kutai Kartanegara area was chosen as a trial area because of good investment growth in the region, the extensive area, relatively moderate levels of population density, effective planning in the area, and rich energy resources.
