An independent guide to Karang Taruna and the Pancoran Mas subdistrict of Depok, West Java.
The name katarpancoranmas.com joins two elements: 'Katar', the everyday Indonesian abbreviation of Karang Taruna — the country's nationwide community youth organization — and Pancoran Mas, a subdistrict (kecamatan) of Depok City in West Java. This site is an independent reference on that combined topic: what Karang Taruna is, how it is organized, and where Pancoran Mas sits on the map. It is not the website of any organization, and it does not speak for one.
Read as a phrase, 'Katar Pancoranmas' points to the Karang Taruna chapter of Kecamatan Pancoran Mas — the subdistrict-level branch of the youth organization serving the Pancoran Mas area of Depok. Indonesian search indexes show the domain once carried pages titled 'Katar Pancoranmas' with a footer reading 'Karang Taruna Pancoranmas' and a contact block listing Depok, Jawa Barat 16431, which is consistent with that reading.
No archived copy of the site's content survives in public web archives, so the original pages cannot be reconstructed. Rather than guess, this reference documents the subject the name describes: the type of organization involved, its national framework, and the subdistrict itself.
Karang Taruna is a community-based youth organization found in villages (desa) and urban neighbourhoods (kelurahan) across Indonesia. It was founded on 26 September 1960 in Kampung Melayu, Jakarta, and that date is still observed as its anniversary. Nationally it sits under the guidance of the Ministry of Social Affairs, which frames it as a vehicle for young people to take part in social welfare and community development.
The organization's basic rules were set out in Ministerial Regulation No. 77/HUK/2010 and later updated by Regulation No. 25 of 2019. Those guidelines define Karang Taruna as a non-partisan social organization whose members are local youth, and they describe its role in the prevention and handling of social problems, from poverty and neglect to disaster response.
Karang Taruna is organized in tiers that mirror Indonesian administration. The base unit is the kelurahan or desa chapter; above it sit kecamatan (subdistrict), kabupaten/kota (regency/city), provincial, and national levels. Each tier coordinates the ones below it, and leadership at each level is chosen through a member assembly known as a musyawarah.
Under the ministerial guidelines, membership is open to young people in the local community, with the commonly cited age band running from 13 to 45 years. A kecamatan-level body such as the one the domain name refers to would coordinate the kelurahan chapters within Pancoran Mas and represent them at the Depok city level.
Day to day, a subdistrict Karang Taruna is a working volunteer body rather than a ceremonial one. Typical programmes revolve around social welfare: supporting vulnerable residents, organizing charity drives, and helping local government with community health and cleanliness campaigns.
Youth activities fill out the calendar — sports tournaments, arts and cultural events, and the neighbourhood competitions that mark Indonesia's Independence Day every 17 August. Members also commonly serve as first-line volunteers during floods and other emergencies, a recurring need in the greater Jakarta region.
Pancoran Mas is one of the eleven kecamatan that make up Depok, a city in West Java that directly borders South Jakarta. Depok was separated from Bogor Regency and granted city status in 1999 under Law No. 15 of 1999, and it has since grown into one of the most densely populated commuter cities in the Jakarta metropolitan area (Jabodetabek).
The subdistrict comprises six kelurahan: Pancoran Mas, Depok, Depok Jaya, Mampang, Rangkapan Jaya, and Rangkapan Jaya Baru. The postcode 16431, which appears in the domain's indexed contact block, corresponds to this part of Depok.
Public traces of katarpancoranmas.com are thin but consistent. Search indexes record a site titled 'Katar Pancoranmas', a password-reset page carrying the address line 'Depok, Jawa Barat 16431' together with the domain itself, and a copyright notice reading 'Karang Taruna Pancoranmas'. Separately, a local news item dated 30 September 2020 describes the Karang Taruna of Kecamatan Pancoran Mas, Depok, as chaired by a man named Haikal, better known by the nickname 'Cang Kokoy'.
Beyond those fragments, nothing reliable is known: there are no archived snapshots, no surviving programme pages, and no verifiable record of the site's lifespan. This reference therefore limits itself to the documented traces above and to general, checkable information about Karang Taruna and Pancoran Mas.
