"Furthermore, Klaten Regent Sri Mulyani will conduct socialization and mechanism for distributing kiosks to traders on Saturday, June 24, 2023," he said in a written statement, Tuesday, June 20.

"Then, the numbering and distribution of kiosks are scheduled by the Regency Government for 1 month until July 31, 2023. Meanwhile, the transfer of traders is planned for August 1, 2023," he added.

The Gedhe Klaten Market building is also equipped with vertical transport infrastructure in the building in the form of a travelator and escalator to facilitate the accessibility of market users from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor.

Gedhe Klaten Market also implements the green building concept, one of which is the installation of Solar Power Plants (PLTS) with a capacity of 207 KWP.

The renovation of the market by the Ministry of PUPR is a mandate of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 43 of 2019 concerning Development, Rehabilitation, or People's Market Renovation, Higher Education Infrastructure, Islamic Religious Universities, and Basic and Secondary Education Units.

This rehabilitation is expected to facilitate buying and selling transactions, increase the convenience of traders and buyers, and improve the community's economy.

Meanwhile, PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono said market development/rehabilitation was carried out by increasing market function as a means of people's trade, so that it became a safe, comfortable, clean, orderly, and more aesthetic (not slum) building.

"It is hoped that quality market infrastructure can be directly felt, especially ensuring the distribution of basic commodities and helping to move the real sector or MSMEs that are evenly distributed to remote villages throughout Indonesia," he said.
