divisions the addresses refer in majority of cases to the adminstrative divisions of the country as
follows:
Admin level English Indonesian

Rukun Warga
Jakarta is a special case of a locality because it is an adminstrative division of level 1
called Province (Provinsi).
The acronym RT/RW stands for Rukun Tetengga / Rukun Warga. In address only ‘RT’
followed with two numbers separated with slash (ex. RT 01/001) is used. This is to
identify areas of neighborhood groups/citizen groups that do not have administrative
power but were created to support administrative functions of sub-districts.
