Jabodetabek
Jabotabek (or Jabodetabek, Greater Jakarta) is an officially recognized definition and term given to the urban region surrounding Jakarta, Indonesia in 2000, officially including five municipalities and three regencies.[1] The population of Jabotabek in the Indonesia 2000 census by the Indonesian government was officially counted to be 23.3 million,[1] and 28.0 million from the Indonesian Census 2010.[2]
The area straddles DKI Jakarta and parts of the provinces of West Java and Banten, specifically the three Regencies of those provinces which surround Jakarta - Bekasi and Bogor in West Java, and Tangerang in Banten. Also included are the Kota (formerly Kotamadya) independent municipalities of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Tangerang and (since October 2008) South Tangerang.
The name of the region is taken from the first two or three letters of each city's name: Jabo(de)tabek from Jakarta, Bogor, (Depok), Tangerang and Bekasi.
It is important to note that Greater Jakarta's sprawl does not end at the Jabodetabek boundary. For area comparison, Jabodetabek covers an area only half the size of Los Angeles County or Ittosanken definition of Greater Tokyo, it is comparatively much denser than either of the two. Greater Jakarta continues to grow, and has long since spilled into the regencies of Karawang, Purwakarta, Sukabumi, and Cianjur of West Java as well as Serang Regency of Banten. However, of these, only Karawang and Serang have densities exceeding 1,000 people per square kilometer. The sum total of Jabodetabek, Serang Regency, Municipality, and Cilegon as well as Karawang Regency is 32.65 million as of the most recent decennial census. In addition, Greater Bandung's suburbs are a mere 30 kilometers from Jabodetabek's boundaries.
