==Condet== Condet is an area in Kramat Jati which is roughly located in three kelurahan: Batu Ampar, Bale Kambang, and Kampung Tengah. The area is known for its fruit production and a small enclave for Betawi people, the indigenous people of Jakarta. Before 1965 most of the land in this area was used for agriculture and fruit orchards. As Jakarta started to grow, Condet became affected by the modern development, threatening the preservation of Betawi culture within the area.<ref>{{cite book |title=Jakarta-Batavia: socio-cultural essays Volume 187 of Verhandelingen Series |last1=Grijns |first1=C.D. |last2=Nas |first2=P. |year=2000 |publisher=KITLV Press |isbn= 9789067181396 |pages=318–330 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cBJr9viseXEC&q=kramat+jati |access-date=May 9, 2010}}</ref>
