• Adopt the necessary positioning to find win-win solutions regarding conservation vs development and local people/inhabitants vs investors • Create mixed living environments with mixed uses (housing, Commercial activity, recreation) to help integrate different types of people • Offer incentives to get property owners (including the “BUMN”) to collaborate • Attract investors with tax incentives • Promote finance, through measures that could possibly include crowd funding • Include four islands (part of the Thousand Islands) in the Kota Tua project – the key to inclusion in 10 national priority tourism areas • Include the revitalization of Kota Tua in the ongoing medium-term development plan (RPJMD) • Secure adequate budget resources for Kota Tua’s operative unit (UPT) in 2018
Intermediate Action: Steps that can be taken by the Government of the Special Capital Region (DKI) of Jakarta and all of the stakeholders • Redefine the boundary of the heritage city by differentiating between the ‘core area’, which will be the main target for UNSECO recognition, and a larger ‘buffer area,’ which will include four of the Thousand Islands • Develop integrated revitalization plans that consider strengthening the existing institutional Framework and promoting the active ownership of the UPT. Possible scenarios would include the transformation of one “Kecamatan”(sub-district) or establishing a “Badan Otoria” (special authority/body).
Long-term Vision Kota Tua and the administered heritage area must remain socio-culturally and economically vibrant yet be conserved
