Indonesia is divided into provinces ((インドネシア語:Provinsi)). Provinces are made up of regencies and cities. Provinces, regencies and cities have their own local governments and parliamentary bodies. Since the enactment of Law Number 22 Year 1999 regarding Local Government (the law was revised by Law Number 32 Year 2004), local governments now play a greater role in administering their areas. Foreign policy, defence (including armed forces and national police), system of law, and monetary policy, however, remain the domain of the national government. Since 2005, heads of local government (governors, regents and mayors) have been directly elected by popular election. ==Provinces== (詳細はIndonesia is divided into 34 provinces. Eight provinces have been created since 2000. Five provinces have special status: * Aceh (also known as ''Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam'' (formerly: ''Aceh Special Region''), has greater role in local government, which includes its own Islamic Sharia law (for Muslim citizens), flag and provincial anthem, local political parties are allowed, and decisions or laws made by the central government which directly affect Aceh's administration must be referred to the local government or legislative body. * Yogyakarta Special Region. The Sultan of Yogyakarta is de facto and de jure governor of Yogyakarta since he is given priority when electing the governor. For centuries, the Sultanate of Yogyakarta has reigned in the region. However, recently the central government proposed a law that required the governor to be popularly elected as in the other provinces, while still giving the sultan significant political power. Since 31 August 2012 The Law of Specialty of Yogyakarta Special Region has been approved by Central Government and according to the Law, Yogyakarta refuses to be a province but it is a region at province-level. * Papua (formerly: ''Irian Jaya''), since 2001 local government has a greater role, including use of its own flag and anthem of province, and the governor is required to be of Papuan origins. * West Papua (formerly: ''Irian Jaya Barat''), has the same status as Papua. * Jakarta Special Capital Region, is the capital of Indonesia. The Governor of Jakarta has the power to appoint and dismiss mayors and regent within the Jakarta Special Capital Region. The local government is allowed co-operate with other cities from other countries. ==Regencies and Cities== Regency ((インドネシア語:Kabupaten)) and city ((インドネシア語:Kota)), collectively known as "Daerah Tingkat II"〔http://www.statoids.com/yid.html〕 is a local level of government beneath the provincial level. However, they enjoy greater decentralisation of affairs than the provincial body, such as provision of public schools and public health facilities. Both regency and city are at the same level, having their own local government and legislative body. The difference between a regency and a city lies in differing demographics, size and economics. Generally the regency has a larger area than the city, and the city has non-agricultural economic activities. A regency is headed by a regent ((インドネシア語:Bupati)), and a city is headed by a mayor ((インドネシア語:Wali kota)). The regent or mayor and the representative council members are elected by popular vote for a term of 5 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Subdivisions of Indonesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
