After the case of violating the capacity of the music concert at Istora Senayan some time ago, the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Disparekraf) limited the capacity of concerts. The addition of the requirements for organizing this music event is contained in the Decree (SK) of Disparekraf No e-1963/PW.01.02 of 2022 concerning the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities Level 1 Corona Virus Disease 2019 in the Tourism Business Sector. Head of DKI Jakarta Disparekraf Andhika explained, now event organizers are obliged to limit visitors with a maximum capacity of 70 percent with operating hours starting from 11.00 WIB to 24.00 WIB. In addition, the organizers are also obliged to complete the recommendation letter from the COVID-19 Task Force, Temporary Show List Signs (TDPT), as well as crowd permits from the police authorities. "In the latest Level 1 PPKM Decree, it has also regulated the organizer's obligation to have competencies related to Event Venue Management. We hope that with the provisions of the implementation of this music, it can be a reference for event organizers to present safe and conducive concerts," Andhika said in his statement, Friday, November 11. Another provision in the decree is the arrangement of the arrival and return flow of visitors as well as the layout of meeting places/events, such as the placement of tables, chairs, booths, aisles, evacuation routes, as well as the implementation of 5M to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In addition, organizers are also required to maintain the safety, comfort and safety of visitors, and are required to provide a Payment Gateway system for the transaction process and ticket registration. “Penyelanga wajib melakukan pengaturan pengunjung atau Crowd Control Management sesuai dengan jumlah pengunjungan. Selain itu, aplikasi PeduliLindungi juga wajib digunakan untuk melakukan skrining. Sehingga yang diizinkan masuk hanya pengunjung dan karyawan dengan kategori hijau saja,” tutur Andhika. Furthermore, Andhika said, the restrictions were carried out as an effort to mitigate the impact of the activities of organizing music events which created potential crowds and vulnerabilities for the safety, comfort, and safety of visitors.
