Indonesia Metropolitan Statistical Areas 2024

The publication Indonesia Metropolitan Statistical Areas (IMSA) 2024 presents a functional approach to delineating metropolitan areas based on an integrated labor market. Moving beyond traditional administrative boundaries, IMSA identifies core and outlying areas by analyzing the intensity of daily population interactions.A key innovation in this analysis is the utilization of Big Data Mobile Positioning Data (MPD) 2024 to capture precise, real-time commuting flows. Outlying areas are determined using a commuting rate threshold of 15 percent toward the core area.The analysis identifies 127 core clusters across Indonesia, with a comprehensive focus on 10 National Priority Metropolitan Areas (including Jabodetabekpunjur, Mebidangro, and Mamminasata). This publication serves as a strategic reference for cross-regional spatial planning, the development of integrated transportation systems, and the achievement of SDG 11 for sustainable cities and communities.
