Rano states Jakarta Pavilion revitalisation at TMII prepares for the digital era
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Governor (Wagub) of DKI Jakarta, Rano Karno, stated that the revitalisation of the Jakarta Pavilion at TMII adopts a concept and long-term approach that is more visionary for the next 20 years to face the digital era.
According to him, one of the main focuses of the revitalisation of the DKI Jakarta Pavilion at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), East Jakarta, is to present an immersive experience by utilising digital technology.
“Now children have a different perspective. We must prepare towards the digital direction because that is indeed the era,” said Rano in Jakarta on Sunday.
Rano is optimistic that the DKI Jakarta Pavilion can become a showcase of Jakarta’s culture, as well as a venue for promotion and education that displays Betawi culture and the diversity of Jakarta’s people, especially ahead of the city’s age reaching 500 years in 2027.
The revitalisation of the DKI Jakarta Pavilion at TMII has been planned since 2024 with an estimated budget requirement of Rp77.5 billion.
The funding will use a combined scheme, namely from non-Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) sources as well as APBD.
“This revitalisation has been planned since 2024 by the Directorate of Spatial Planning, Urban Development, and Land Affairs,” he said.
For the initial phase, said Rano, funding of Rp25 billion in 2026 is supported by PT Wisma Nusantara Internasional.
In addition, the government is also seeking an additional Rp25 billion from the same scheme so that the total contribution from non-APBD sources can reach Rp50 billion.
The remaining budget requirement of Rp27.5 billion is planned through the 2027 Fiscal Year APBD.
Rano added that the asset deletion process is scheduled to begin soon in April, while construction is targeted to start in June 2026.
“This revitalisation is targeted to be completed within one year, so the DKI Jakarta Pavilion can be re-functionalised for the 500th Anniversary of the City of Jakarta,” he concluded.
