IKN Authority Prepares Facilities For Visitors During Nataru, From Electric Buses To Health Posts

The Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) ensures the readiness of infrastructure and services to facilitate people who will visit the Central Government Core Area (KIPP) IKN. This is to support the smooth running of activities in public areas during the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 periods (Nataru 2024/2025).

Deputy for Social, Cultural and Community Empowerment, IKN Authority Alimuddin said the facilities prepared include electric buses for shuttle services, additional parking areas and health posts as supporting facilities.

In addition, there is also digital technology based on the Video Management System with artificial intelligence (AI) used to monitor KIPP's condition in real-time.

"This technology will help the management of crowds and security in the Rest Area, Plaza Ceremony and other public places during the Nataru holiday," Alimuddin said as quoted from the official website of IKN, Friday, December 27.

Alimuddin said, currently there are 99.6 thousand users who have downloaded the IKNOW application with an additional 15,000 downloads since early December. For information, IKNOW is an application developed by the IKN Authority to serve people who want to visit the new capital city.

"From the opening of visits to IKN from September to December 20, 2024, more than 112.8 thousand people have registered through the IKNOW application to visit the archipelago," he said.

In addition, the IKN Authority also provides integrated health services for visitors. Alimuddin said the medical team and ambulances would be on standby at the IKN Rest Area Health Post as well as in the Kemenko 1 area of the IKN Ceremony Plaza.

Meanwhile, OIKN has prepared Hermina Nusantara Hospital and Mayapada Nusantara Hospital as referral facilities for medical emergency cases.

"Fasilitas yang sudah tersedia seperti air minum gratis serta gerai kafe yang ada di area Gedung Kemenko 1 seperti Excelso dan di galeri UMKM/kantor bersama tetap terbuka untuk umum," tuturnya.

Alimuddin appealed to people who visit to comply with the applicable rules. Among them are not smoking, disposing of garbage in its place, not having a picnic within the area and following directions from officers during a visit to KIPP IKN. Visitors are also prohibited from flying drones unless they have received permission from the IKN Authority.
