Greater Jakarta metropolitan area, which is known as Jabodetabek (a name formed by combining the initial syllables of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi), is the second largest urban agglomeration and 2nd largest city area in the world after Tokyo, with a population of 30,214,303 inhabitants as of 2010 census. Located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island of Java, Jakarta is the centre of economics, culture and politics of Indonesia, with a population of 10,075,310 as of 2014. Jakarta (/dʒəˈkɑːrtə/, Indonesian pronunciation: ), officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, is the capital and largest city of Indonesia, which was formerly known as Batavia during Dutch East Indies and Sunda Kelapa during Sunda Kingdom. Putih, Kota Jakarta Pusat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 10510, Indonesia The co-ordinates thus derived define a location within a UTM projection zone either north or south of the equator, but because the same co-ordinate system is repeated for each zone and hemisphere, it is necessary to additionally state the UTM longitudinal zone and either the hemisphere or latitudinal zone to define the location uniquely world-wide.Central address: Jl.
Within each longitudinl zone the transverse mercator projection is used to give co-ordinates (eastings and northings) in metres.įor the eastings, the origin is defined as a point 500,000 metres west of the central meridian of each longitudinal zone, giving an easting of 500,000 metres at the central meridian.įor the northings in the northern hemisphere, the origin is defined as the equator.įor the northings in the southern hemisphere, the origin is defined as a point 10,000,000 metres south of the equator. For example, the southern end of South America is 19F. Each of these is 8 degrees south-north, apart from zone X which is 12 degrees south-north.Īreas are referenced by quoting the longitudinal zone number, followed by the latitudinal zone letter. There are 20 latitudinal zones spanning the latitudes 80°S to 84°N and denoted by the letters C to X, ommitting the letters I and O. Each of these zones is 6 degrees wide, apart from a few exceptions around Norway and Svalbard. There are 60 longitudinal projection zones numbered 1 to 60 starting at 180°W.
