Administrative Village Information
An administrative village (Indonesian: kelurahan, desa) is the lowest level of government administration in Indonesia. It could be a village or a kelurahan. A village is headed by a village chief (kepala desa), which is elected by popular vote. A kelurahan is headed by a lurah. A village is divided non-administratively into local communities which manage certain number of households. In Aceh, a village is called as kampung. Since the implementation of regional autonomy in 2001, the larger nagari has been introduced in place of the desa as the lowest government unit in West Sumatra.[1]
