Jagakarsa, Administrative district in South Jakarta, Indonesia.
Jagakarsa is an administrative district on the southern side of Jakarta that lies between two rivers and sits at an elevation of about 52 meters. The area contains several neighborhoods with homes, shops, and green spaces spread throughout.
The area developed from an 18th-century estate that was used for raising cattle and producing dairy products. This farming past shaped how the neighborhood grew into what it is today.
The district keeps alive traditional Betawi musical and dance forms that residents perform at local gatherings and celebrations. These art practices remain woven into the life of the community and its seasonal festivities.
The district is connected to central Jakarta by a railway line, with two stations offering daily service for commuters and visitors. Public transportation makes it easy to travel in and out of the area.
A lake within the district works as both a water reservoir and a fish farming center operated by local people. This water body shows how practical needs and traditional ways of living connect in the area.
