The Result of Long Form Population Census 2020 Surakarta Municipality

Surakarta City is a city with enormous potential. In terms of population density, Surakarta City is the most densely populated city in Central Java Province. Even though the area is limited with a high population density, Surakarta City has a lot of potential that can be exploited with the right strategy and planning.

In 2022, exactly one decade of Indonesia's demographic bonus, BPS is committed to completing the mandate to carry out the Advanced Population Census (Long Form SP2020) with various challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic. With the permission of God Almighty accompanied by the hard work of all parties, the Long Form SP2020 data collection has been completed.

The SP2020 Long Form carries a big mission as a benchmark for Indonesia's population indicators, Demographic Portraits of Indonesia after going through the 2nd wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic, evaluation of development achievements in the population sector in the SDGs and RPJMN, as well as being the basis for determining Indonesia's development policies towards Golden Indonesia 2045.

Even though it was carried out in the midst of a pandemic, there were several innovations implemented in the Long Form SP2020, one of which was the use of various data collection modes (PAPI, CAPI, CATI, and CAWI). For the first time, Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) was applied in the history of the population census in Indonesia.

The journey of implementation and results of the Long Form SP2020 is briefly presented in the Population Indicators Outcome of the Long Form SP2020 booklet. This booklet presents a comprehensive picture of the state of Indonesia's population based on the results of the Long Form SP2020. The basic data coverage of the SP2020 Long Form results are indicators of fertility, mortality, mobility, disability, education, and housing. It is hoped that the provision of demographic parameters and population characteristics will produce indicators to monitor and evaluate the achievement of the SDGs and RPJMN targets in the population sector.
