地名在人类社会中起着至关重要的作用。所有语言都有名称，地名是国际交流不可或缺的一部分。联合国地名专家组（地名专家组）的成立就是对这一点的确认。地名专家组的任务之一是协调关于正确使用地名的国际努力。印度尼西亚通过其国家地理空间局支持这一努力。地名本身也是一个令人感兴趣的研究对象。对地名的学术研究见于语言学、专名学、哲学和其他一些学科。本文探讨了地名的这两个方面、在国际和国家机构主持下开展的标准化工作以及地名的学术研究，并特别提到印度尼西亚的情况。
Place names play a vital role in human society. Names exist in all languages and place names are an indispensible part of international communication. This has been acknowledged by the establishment of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). One of UNGEGN’s tasks is to coordinate international efforts on the proper use of place names. Indonesia supports this effort and through its National Geospatial Agency (BIG). Place names are also of interest as an object of study in themselves. Academic studies into place names are found in linguistics, onomastics, philosophy and a number of other academic disciplines. This article looks at these two dimensions of place names, standardization efforts under the auspices of international and national bodies, and academic studies of names, with particular reference to the situation in Indonesia.
