The Value Of Anies' Planning Concerning The Change Of Street Names Is Not Mature, DPRD: Even The Street Names On Google Maps Haven't Changed

JAKARTA - Member of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gembong Warsono, assessed that DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was not mature in planning to change the name of a street in Jakarta to the name of a Betawi figure.

Because, apart from getting protests from a number of affected residents, it turns out that currently the street names listed on the Google Maps application have not changed. The road description in this route guide application still writes the old street name.

"The change in the name of the street, apparently on Google Maps hasn't changed either. For example, now the name Jalan Raya Pondok Gede is Jalan Haji Bokir bin Dji'un. It turns out that when I searched for it, the results didn't come out," said Gembong when contacted, Thursday, July 14.

In fact, according to Gembong, the DKI Provincial Government must coordinate with Google to also change street names in its application. Because, Google Maps is often the mainstay of the community as a travel guide.

"As soon as the name changes, it must automatically change on Google Maps. Why doesn't it happen? It means that coordination is not working," said Gembong.

Therefore, Gembong said that Commission A is currently proposing the formation of a special committee (pansus) to explore the polemic of changing 22 street names in Jakarta.

After that, the special committee will issue a recommendation to the DKI Provincial Government. Given, Anies intends to increase the number of roads whose names will be changed in the future.

"So, so that in the future there will be no problems, we will form a special committee. This special committee is to solve the problem. The simplest example is, if Google Maps hasn't changed until today, then what if we add more roads that have been changed?" he said.
