a desa can be defined as a body which has authority over the local people in accordance with acknowledged local traditions of the area. A desa is headed by a "head of village" (), who is elected by popular vote. Most Indonesian villages use the term "desa", but other terms are used in some regions: Gampong in Aceh Nagari in West Sumatra (except Mentawai Islands Regency) Dusun in Bungo Regency (Jambi) Kampung in some places in Indonesia: Lampung (in Central Lampung, Mesuji, Tulang Bawang, Way Kanan, and West Tulangbawang regencies) East Kalimantan (in Berau and West Kutai regencies) Provinces in Western New Guinea Pekon in Pringsewu, Tanggamus, and West Lampung regencies (Lampung) In Bali, there are two forms of "desa", i.e. desa dinas (service village) and desa adat (cultural village). Desa dinas deals with administrative functions, while desa adat deals with religious and cultural functions. Lembang in Toraja and North Toraja regencies (South Sulawesi) Kalurahan in Special Region of Yogyakarta. Notes In other places, "dusun" is an administrative division form below "desa". In other places, "kampung" is equal with "dusun", except in Bungo, Jambi. Kelurahan Although desa and kelurahan are part of a district, a kelurahan has less autonomy than a desa. A kelurahan is headed by a lurah. Lurahs are civil servants, directly responsible to their camats.
