Nagari (settlement) A nagari is a semi-autonomous Minangkabau people regional administrative unit in West Sumatra, Indonesia. From 1983-1999 the national government attempted to apply the Javanese ''desa'' village system to other ethnic groups throughout Indonesia, and in 1983 the traditional Minangkabau ''nagari'' village units were split into smaller ''jorong'' units, with some disruption to traditional nagari-centred social and cultural institutions. However following restoration of the role of the ''nagari'' in rural Minangkabau society after 1999 residence and employment in a ''nagari'' is still an aspect of social identity, just as residence in the smaller ''jorong'', or membership of a clan. Etymology Nagari comes from the Sanskrit word ' () which means land or realm.
