TMII In The Future, A Pavilion For Young People And Become A Public Space

JAKARTA - The Presidential Staff Office stated that the regional pavilion at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) in East Jakarta was prepared to become a public space after the restoration of the tourist area was completed.

"There are significant changes that are adapted to current needs. For example, pavilions are provided for young people and become children's public spaces now, that's the big policy," said Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko at the Bina Graha Building, Jakarta, Monday, July 25, quoted from Between.

Moeldoko explained that the policy of regional pavilions as public spaces for young people was a directive from President Joko Widodo.

In addition, the President requested that after the renovation, TMII would no longer be managed conventionally, but rather adapt to the needs of young people.

Previously, Minister of Home Affairs Muhammad Tito Karnavian, asked regional heads to restore their respective regional pavilions at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) Jakarta.

He explained that there were 19 platforms with minor damage, but the structure of the building was still good. There is also a medium damaged platform. In addition, he said, there are provinces that do not yet have platforms in TMII, including North Kalimantan.

For renovation funds, he said the total cost needed was almost Rp45 billion-Rp50 billion for the entire province. The funding can use local government budgets, whether sourced from the APBD or CSR in their respective regions.

Meanwhile, Minister of State Secretary Pratikno hopes that regional heads will immediately participate in carrying out repair or renovation efforts.

The government plans at the end of August 2022 to hold activities at TMII in the form of pre-launch related to G20 activities.
