Indonesia Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) 230 per 100,000 live births is considered one of the highest in Southeast Asia region. Contraception is an essential part of safe motherhood, yet most Indonesian doesn’t participate in family planning. Active use of contraception on fertile couples was 62.5%. Based on Indonesia 2017 DHS, 11% fertile women had insufficient contraception need. Unmet need for contraception might contribute to the burden of MMR. A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyse which factors contribute to the occurrence of unmet need for contraception in respect of urban and rural area. Data obtained from 2017 IDHS in two locations: Jakarta and Papua. A total 1,128 Jakarta and 458 Papua respondent were enrolled. Highest occurrence of unmet need occurred in high school education group. Television use was the only factor gave a significant impact (p = 0.019) for the occurrence of unmet need for contraception in Jakarta. Husband’s education level (p = 0.000), newspaper use (p = 0.017), radio use (p = 0.027), television ownership (p = 0.005), television use (p = 0.005), and cell-phone ownership (p = 0.000) have a significant impact for the occurrence of unmet need in Papua. Further analyses showed that television use in Jakarta and cell-phone ownership in Papua were indeed the most influential factor for unmet need.
