It is an honor to be the host again for WKF Karate1 Premier League that will be

will be some important information may be useful for participants during the

ABOUT INDONESIA
Indonesia is an independent republic consisting of more than 17,500 islands spread
over 3,400 miles along the Equator. The main islands are Java, Sumatra, Bali,
Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes), Papua, Halmahera and Seram. The
capital city of Jakarta lies in the lowlands of West Java, the most populated island.
The country has approximately 245 million people and more than 300 ethnic groups.
Indonesia is a developing country with a growing economy, it has many tourist
destinations associated with the country’s cultural diversity and natural resources.
The following is some useful highlights about Indonesia:
History – The name Indonesia derives from the Latin Indus, meaning "India", and
the Greek nesos, meaning "island". The name dates to the 18th century, far
predating the formation of independent Indonesia. In 1850, George Earl, an English
ethnologist, proposed the terms Indunesians —for the inhabitants of the "Indian
Archipelago". As early as the first century BCE Indonesian vessels made trade
voyages as far as Africa. Indonesia's strategic sea-lane position fostered
inter-island and international trade. For example, trade links with both Indian
kingdoms and China were established several centuries BCE. By the time of the
Renaissance, the islands of Java and Sumatra had already enjoyed a 1,000-year

22. heritage of advanced civilization spanning two major empires. During the 7th-14th
centuries, the Buddhist kingdom of Srivijaya flourished on Sumatra. At its peak,
the Srivijaya Empire reached as far as West Java and the Malay Peninsula. Also by
the 14th century, the Hindu Kingdom of Majapahit succeeded in gaining allegiance
from most of what is now modern Indonesia and much of the Malay archipelago as
well. Islam arrived in Indonesia sometime during the 12th century and, through
assimilation, supplanted Hinduism by the end of the 16th century in Java and
Sumatra. For most of the colonial period, Dutch control over the archipelago was
tenuous outside of coastal strongholds; only in the early 20th century did Dutch
dominance extend to what was to become Indonesia's current boundaries. The
Japanese invasion and subsequent occupation during World War II ended Dutch rule,
and encouraged the previously suppressed Indonesian independence movement.
On August 17th,1945, Sukarno, an influential nationalist leader, declared
independence and was appointed as the 1st president of Indonesia.
Area – Indonesia consists of 17,508 islands, about 6,000 of which are inhabited.
These are scattered over both sides of the equator. The five largest islands are
Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo), New Guinea (shared
with Papua New Guinea), and Sulawesi. Indonesia shares land borders with
Malaysia on the islands of Borneo and Sebatik, Papua New Guinea on the island of
New Guinea, and East Timor on the island of Timor. Indonesia also shares borders
with Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines to the north and Australia to the
south across narrow straits of water. The capital, Jakarta, is on Java Island and is
the nation's largest city, followed by Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and Semarang. At
1,919,440 km² (741,050 sq mi), Indonesia is the world's 16th-largest country in
terms of land area. Its average population density is 134 people per km² (347 per
sq mi), 79th in the world, although Java, the world's most populous island, has a
population density of 940 people per km² (2,435 per sq mi).
Climate – Lying along the equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate, with two
distinct monsoonal wet and dry seasons. Average annual rainfall in the lowlands
varies from 1,780–3,175 millimeters (70–125 in), and up to 6,100 millimeters (240
in) in mountainous regions. Mountainous areas—receive the highest rainfall.
Humidity is generally high, averaging about 80%. Temperatures vary little
throughout the year; the average daily temperature range of Jakarta is 26–30 °C
(79–86 °F).
Population and Language – Most Indonesians are descended from
Austronesian-speaking peoples whose languages can be traced to Proto
Austronesian. The other major grouping are Melanesians, who inhabit eastern
Indonesia. There are around 300 distinct native ethnicities in Indonesia, and 742
different languages and dialects. The largest ethnic group is the Javanese, who
comprise 42% of the population. The Sundanese, ethnic Malays, and Madurese are
the largest non-Javanese groups. Chinese Indonesians comprise 1% of the
population. A sense of Indonesian nationhood exists alongside strong regional
identities. The official national language, Indonesian, is universally taught in
schools, and consequently is spoken by nearly every Indonesian. It was constructed
Email: iwan-st@primacom.co.id Page: 22
Website: http://www.sportdata.org/karate1 Deadline: 18 June 2013
23. from a lingua franca that was in wide use throughout the region, and is thus closely
related to Malay which is an official language in Malaysia and Brunei. Most
Indonesians speak at least one of the several hundred local languages (bahasa
daerah), often as their first language.
Religion – Religious freedom is stipulated in the Indonesian constitution, while the
government officially recognizes six major religions: Islam, Protestantism, Roman
Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Indonesia is the world's most
populous Muslim-majority nation, with 86.1% of Indonesians declared Muslim
according to the 2000 census, 8.7% of the population is Christian, 3% are Hindu,
and 1.8% Buddhist or other.
Time zone – GMT + 7.
Electricity – The standard electrical voltage in Indonesia is 220 volts AC, 50Hz. The
majority of electrical outlets take rectangular two-pin plugs; adapters are
available at shops and supermarkets.
Currency – The local currency is the Indonesia Rupiah (IDR), the currency sign is
"Rp". The exchange rate of USD 1 is approximately Rp 9,500. All major currencies
and travelers' cheques can be exchanged at banks, hotels or moneychangers with
handling charges. Credit cards are widely accepted in Indonesia.
SOEKARNO HATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Jakarta International Airport (Soekarno-Hatta) is the main airport serving the
greater Jakarta area on the island of Java, Indonesia. The airport is named after
the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, and the first vice-president, Mohammad
Hatta. The airport is often called Cengkareng by Indonesian. Its IATA code, CGK is
