Sleman to build off-campus dorm<\/p>\n
YOGYAKARTA: The Sleman Administration in Yogyakarta province
\nis planning to build a number of modest apartments for students.<\/p>\n
\"We will build a student apartment of 96 rooms this year,
\nlocated not far from campus,\" local settlement and regional
\ninfrastructure office head Yuni Zafria said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
She said Sleman had prepared land and facilities needed for
\nthe project, which would be financed by the central government.<\/p>\n
The off-campus dormitory is urgently needed, as about 200,000
\nnon-resident students rented local accommodation, Yuni said.<\/p>\n
From a comparative study in Cirebon, West Java, in which she
\ntook part earlier, Yuni found that apartments in this port city
\nwere operated by a Regional Development Company (PDP) appointed
\nby the local municipal administration.<\/p>\n
According to information provided by the managing director of
\nthe Cirebon PDP, Early Fasini, the four-story apartments built in
\n1997 has a capacity of 96 rooms with an average occupancy of 70
\npercent.<\/p>\n
Occupants generally come from the lower to middle classes, and
\nstay there for a minimum one month and a year maximum. -- Antara<\/p>\n
