Indonesia

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset retains the official Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) administrative terms to ensure compatibility with local addressing standards:
· Provinsi: Province (e.g., DKI JAKARTA).
· Kota/Kab: City (Kota) or Regency (Kabupaten).
· Kecamatan: District.
· Desa/Kelurahan: Village or Sub-district.
A comprehensive English User Guide is included to explain these terms in detail.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy used in the dataset?

Indonesia uses a specific 4-level hierarchy, which is fully represented in the columns:
1. provinsi: The top-level region.
2. kota_kab: The secondary level. Note that this field distinguishes between cities (starts with "KOTA") and regencies (often implied or starts with "KABUPATEN"). In Jakarta, you will see "KOTA ADM." (Administrative City).
3. kecamatan: The district/sub-district level.
4. desa_kelurahan: The village or neighborhood level. This is the finest level of granularity for the postal code.

Q: Does the postal code cover specific streets?

Generally, no. In Indonesia, the 5-digit kodepos is typically assigned to the Desa/Kelurahan (Village) level. The dataset maps each Village to its corresponding code (e.g., "Gambir" village has code 10110). It does not usually break down into individual streets unless it is a major PO Box or special corporate code.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Indonesia uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 10110). The first digit indicates the region, the second and third digits usually indicate the city or regency, and the last two digits identify the district and village.

Q: Why do names in 'kota_kab' often contain prefixes like "KOTA" or "KOTA ADM"?

These prefixes are legally significant:
· KOTA: An autonomous city.
· KOTA ADM: An Administrative City (specific to the Jakarta Special Capital Region).
· KABUPATEN: A Regency (rural area).
You should preserve these prefixes when matching addresses to official government records.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. All files are encoded in UTF-8. This ensures compatibility with most database systems and correctly displays standard Latin characters used in Indonesian.
