The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports that 52.89% of villages/sub-districts in Indonesia are located in lowland areas. Lowlands are flat, even stretches of land.
Furthermore, 45.77% are situated in sloping areas. Slopes or peaks are parts of a mountain located between the summit and the valley.
Additionally, 1.03% of villages/sub-districts are located in valley areas. A valley is a low-lying area between two mountains or an area that is lower in elevation than its surroundings.
Valleys in folded mountain regions are often called synclines. Valleys in fault-block mountains are called grabens or rift valleys. Meanwhile, valleys in mountainous areas are called intermontane valleys.
Finally, only 0.31% of villages/sub-districts are located at the summit or on cliffs.
