Kendal, December 31, 2025 - The "Housing and Environment" infographic, based on the results of the 2025 Village Potential Survey (Podes) by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Kendal Regency, illustrates the condition of basic infrastructure and environmental quality in the region.
In terms of housing, 285 villages/sub-districts still have families using non-PLN electricity, while 220 villages/sub-districts have access to electricity from the government (PLN). Furthermore, 65 villages/sub-districts still do not use PLN electricity as their primary source, indicating a gap in energy access that requires attention.
In terms of cooking fuel, the majority of villages, representing 279 villages/sub-districts, use 3 kg LPG cylinders. Meanwhile, the use of firewood is still found in 7 villages/sub-districts, which are generally located in areas with limited access to modern energy.
On the environmental side, the data shows that pollution challenges persist. A total of 81 villages/sub-districts experienced water pollution, 7 villages/sub-districts experienced land pollution, and 54 villages/sub-districts were affected by air pollution. This situation indicates the need for further efforts in environmental management, particularly in controlling waste and potentially polluting activities.
Overall, this infographic shows that although access to modern energy and fuels in Kendal Regency is increasing, challenges remain in the distribution of services and environmental pollution control that need to be addressed sustainably.
