<o:p> </o:p>
A liberal translation of Bahasa Indonesia wikipedia entry of desa from the link below.
<o:p> </o:p>
A villlage (desa), according to a universal definition, is a local group of settlements in rural areas. In Indonesia, the term village (desa) is the administrative division under the subdistrict (Kecamatan). The village is led by the Head of the Village (Kepala Desa). In West Kutai, East Kalimantan, the village leader is the Head of Village (Kepala Kampung) or Petinggi.
<o:p> </o:p>
Because of regional autonomy a village can be called by another name. For example, in West Sumatra the term nagari is used. In Papua and West Kutai, East Kalimantan the term kampung is used to refer to a village. Similarly, all terms and institutions in the village can be called with another name in accordance with the customary practices of the local village. The use of local terms is one way the Indonesia Government recognizes and honors local customs.
<o:p> </o:p>
In rural areas a village (desa) can be divided into hamlets (dusun), which are part of the village and work with the regulations set out by the village (desa).

Rukun Warga (RW) is a regional division under a hamlet (dusun) or the local geography (Lingkungan). An RW is not an official governmental administration level but is established through the consensus of the local community in the framework of social services established by the village (desa).

Rukun Tetangga (RT) is a local subdivision of Rukun Warga (RW). An RT is established through the consensus of the local community in the framework of social services established by the village (desa or kelurahan).

Re: Indonesia Place Name Conventions -2009

Administrative division in Indonesia ::: What the heck are Kabupaten, Kecamatan, Rukun Warga?


Republic of Indonesia is divided into 33 provinces, 1 special capital region (Daerah Khusus Ibukota/DKI) and 2 special regions (Daerah Istimewa/DI). Those regions are called provincial first administrative government. Examples of provinces are Bali province, West Java Province, Banten Province etc. Special capital region is DKI Jakarta, and 2 special regions are DI Aceh and DI Yogyakarta.

Provincial government is divided into smaller second administrative government as Kota, Kabupaten, Kota administrasi and Kabupaten administrasi. For example: Kabupaten Tangerang, Kota Tangerang.

Kabupaten and Kota rule district called Kecamatan. Kecamatan is ruled by the smallest regional government. For example: Kecamatan Bogor Timur (East Bogor), Kecamatan Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta).

Kecamatan rules smaller areas known as Kelurahan, Desa, Kampung or Gampong. This is the smallest administrative governmental level. For example: Desa Belendung, Kampung Pertukangan.

Kelurahan level divided into neighborhoods (Rukun Warga/RW), which rooted to smaller blocks (Rukun Tetangga/RT).

Example of common type of address written in Indonesia:

Jl Damai III Kompleks PDK RT 11 RW 2, Kelurahan Petukangan Selatan, Pesanggrahan, Kecamatan South Jakarta.

This is a very brief description about Indonesia administrative regions. Further information can be viewed at http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemerintahan_daerah
