BANDUNG - Bandung City Government (Pemkot) utilizes the banks of the Cibodas River in Bandung City by building the Tamiya circuit or a remote control car or RC.

The creation of this new public space is expected to increase the happiness index of the community after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bandung Mayor Yana Mulyana said the circuit was called the 'C-Badas RC Circuit'. To be precise, it is accessible to the public on Jalan Jejaway, especially those with a hobby of mini car toys. "Hopefully this can be used and maintained so that we develop thematic places for other communities. The point is that we open other public spaces that can be utilized by the community," said Yana when inaugurating the C-Badas RC Circuit, quoted from Antara, Thursday, November 3. In addition, according to him, community activities later in public spaces can also encourage the economy of the surrounding community in the context of economic recovery. In addition, according to him, the riverbanks can also be better organized. "Because there could be an economic sector that is increasing here," said Yana.

Meanwhile, Head of the Water Resources and Highways Agency (DSDABM) Didi Ruswandi said the river arrangement pattern in Bandung City was indeed conceptualized at the same time as the construction of public open spaces. Apart from the RC circuit and other public spaces, such as minivolley and playgrounds for children will also be built in the near future on the banks of other rivers in Bandung City. "Meanwhile, on December 3 in Rancabolang, we will also present open spaces there and river arrangement," said Didi. The C-Badas RC Circuit will be managed by the West Java RC Community. RC Community Chairman Yunan Raditya said that his party would make a regular schedule every Sunday from 09.00-15.00 WIB to hold the RC competition. While routinely, the RC Community, according to him, will use the facility from Friday-Ahad starting at 15.00-21.00 WIB. "For the asphalt track itself, it is already a national standard. This is the first time from Indonesia the government facilitates things like this, very serious," he said.
