Indonesia is an archipelago with a population that continues to increase year after year. This rapid population growth causes various challenges, including in terms of population density and mobility. This article will discuss the state of overcrowding and the number of motor vehicles in Indonesia in 2021, based on the data presented, and offer theoretical viewpoints and potential solutions to this problem.
Definitions and Viewpoints
1. Population Density
Population density is the number of individuals living in an area per unit area (usually per square kilometer). It is an important indicator to understand the distribution of population in a country or region. According to the data shown in the figure, the average population density in Indonesia in 2021 is 142 people/km.
2. Number of Motorized Vehicles
The number of motorized vehicles is the total vehicles operating in an area, including passenger cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. This number is used to measure the level of mobility and transportation development in a country. In 2021, the number of motorized vehicles in Indonesia reached 142,001,698 units.
