A Portrait of the 2020 Population Census of Nusa Tenggara Barat Province Towards One Indonesian Population Data

The availability of population data in terms of number, distribution and composition is very important for an area as a basis for development planning and evaluation. With the right strategy, the population can become a force for a region to advance. In order to realize the aspirations of an Advanced Indonesia, BPS is endeavoring to complete the mandate to carry out the 2020 Population Census (SP2020) with various challenges amid the Covid-19 pandemic. With the permission of God Almighty accompanied by the hard work of all parties, the SP2020 field data collection has been completed with various governance adjustments at each stage and sticking to the big goals of SP2020.
Even though SP2020 was implemented in the midst of a pandemic, there were several innovations implemented, one of which was the use of a combination method that was first applied in the history of population censuses in Indonesia. The combination method is the use of population administration data (adminduk) from the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Ditjen Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) as the basic data for SP2020. This is designed and implemented as an effort to create One Indonesian Population Data. One step closer to One Indonesian Population Data, BPS together with the Directorate General of Dukcapil released the SP2020 results. The implementation journey and the results of SP2020 are presented briefly in the 2020 Population Census Portrait booklet, West Nusa Tenggara Province Towards One Indonesian Population Data.
This booklet presents the basic aggregate data on the population of West Nusa Tenggara down to the district / city level. The basic data coverage of the SP2020 results is the population by sex, administrative area, along with its derivative parameters such as population density, sex ratio, and population growth rate. It is hoped that the data will be able to meet the current population data needs for planning, monitoring, evaluation of development programs and various research references.
