The cities of Indonesia generally have the status of kecamatan , a subdivision of the kabupaten ( department ). The kabupaten is itself a subdivision of the province .
A kecamatan is administered by a camat , an official appointed by the bupati ( prefect ).
When it reaches a certain importance, or for historical reasons, a city can acquire the status of kota or city. A kota is a territorial administrative unit of the same level as the kabupaten . This means that:
- on the one hand it is administered by a person directly elected, the walikota or mayor of the city,
- on the other hand, she owns a dewan perwakilan daerah , elected regional assembly.
In this case, the kota will be distinguished administratively from the kabupaten in which it is located.
