Indonesian cities normally have governance hierarchy from city level to neighbourhood level covering 30-50 households. Unique to Bandung, it has Development District (SWK) encompassing several kecamatans for more focused development. The smallest compulsory administrative level based on national law is kelurahan. RW and RT are optional for community development. The role of RW and RT are still largely found in kampung due to solid social kinship and less advantaged situation.
