hotels reporting a sharp drop in guest numbers -- particularly from the meetings many hotels have begun cutting costs internally by reducing freelance staff and choosing not to renew temporary contracts Chairman of the Yogyakarta chapter of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) said the decline in hotel occupancy has been ongoing since early 2025 largely due to fewer MICE activities organized by ministries “MICE contributes nearly 40 percent of our market especially during the low season from Monday to Thursday The impact has been felt since January and worsened through April,” Deddy said The decline in MICE-related business has hit both occupancy rates and hotel revenues Some establishments have been forced to reduce energy use and cut down on temporary and freelance employment even the working hours of permanent employees have been reduced “We haven’t reached the point of layoffs and stronger tourism promotion in Yogyakarta,” Deddy added He urged the government to either revise the budget efficiency policy outlined in Presidential Instruction No 1 of 2025 or offer support measures to help hotels weather the downturn Given the hospitality sector’s vital contribution to the regional economy he stressed that the government must act to ensure its sustainability and prevent broader socio-economic repercussions The impact of the policy isn’t limited to Yogyakarta Other tourist destinations such as Malang and Bali are also reporting declining hotel occupancy rates PHRI Secretary General Maulana Yusran noted that weakening public purchasing power is another factor behind the slowdown in hospitality with fewer people opting to travel or stay in hotels PHRI Malang Chairman Agoes Basuki said that President Prabowo Subianto’s cost-cutting directive has left many hotel operators on edge a popular venue for official events from the municipal to ministerial level has seen a sharp drop in government bookings He said complaints have already been submitted to both the executive and legislative branches in Malang and expressed hope that a resolution will be found soon Malang's hotel industry heavily depends on policies that strike a balance between fiscal prudence and economic stimulation at the regional level YOGYAKARTA – Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) Veteran Yogyakarta memperingati puncak Dies Natalis ke-66 dengan

Indonesia and Japan Deepen Strategic Alliance in Clean Energy and Infrastructure Sukarno's dedication to the arts and obsession with creating a nationalist ideal live on in luxury hotels he built in the 1960s Originally known as the Ambarrukmo Palace or Kedhaton Ambarrukmo the Ambarrukmo Hotel in Yogyakarta is one of four international standard hotels Sukarno ordered to be constructed in the 1960s The Bali Beach Inter-Continental in Sanur and the Samudra Beach Hotel in Pelabuhan Ratu building them was much more than a series of construction projects It was a nationalist strategy focused on attracting international attention for the new nation All four hotels house important examples of modern Indonesian art architecture and monuments as revolutionary Sukarno was well suited for the task of symbolic nation building collector and an accomplished amateur painter As president he was also the most important patron of the arts and a trendsetter who did much to shape the development of a distinctive Indonesian modernist style Sukarno was so fond of art that after his fall from power in 1966 he is said to have missed his collection and his association with artists more than anything else He continued a centuries old Southeast Asian tradition in which art works and monuments are not only representations of cosmological orders but also serve to establish them as socio-political realities Sukarno built on this tradition to construct what Robert Bellah called a ‘civil religion’ – a constellation of quasi-sacred rituals and symbols that binds a nation together Sukarno’s Indonesian civil religion included romanticised idealistic portraits of what Indonesia had been The overarching theme was that of Indonesia as a modern postcolonial society deeply rooted in the country’s traditional cultures The Royal Ambarrukmo Hotel combines Indonesian and Javanese political symbolism It is situated on the grounds of the Kedhaton Ambarrukmo a royal residence constructed by Yogyakarta Sultan Hamengkubuwana (HB) VI in 1857 It is a miniature kraton (palace) that includes a pendopo an open-air pavilion used as an audience hall (Gadri) It was originally used as a politically neutral space for meetings with Dutch officials and foreign dignitaries and for meetings between the Yogyakarta and Surakarta branches of the Mataram royal family Yogyakarta and Solo both claim to be the legitimate successor of the earlier Kartasura kingdom (1680-1755) and were on barely speaking terms since the mid eighteenth century Meeting at either kraton presented significant protocol problems Located on the edge of Yogyakarta on the road leading to Surakarta Kedhaton Ambarrukmo was a (nearly) neutral space HB VII lived there until his death on 30 December of that year It was then used for various administrative purposes and gradually fell into disrepair The Ambarrukmo hotel project was a joint venture between Sukarno and Sultan HB IX HB IX played a major role in the Indonesian revolution He was as committed to Indonesian nationalism as Sukarno and equally as committed to preserving the Yogyakarta monarchy Architecturally the main building is in mid-twentieth century modernist style Post-independence Yogyakarta was still predominantly rural and urban architecture was stylistically traditional Javanese or Dutch colonial The Ambarrukmo Palace was one the first distinctively modern Indonesian buildings The traditional Javanese style buildings from the Kedhaton Ambarrukmo were restored and incorporated into the modern hotel construction Sukarno personally supervised the art installations Kehidupan Masyarakat Jawa Tengah (Community Life in Central Java) and Kehidupan Masyarakat Yogyakarta (Community Life in Yogyakarta) and a panel of relief carvings Untung Rugi di Lereng Merapi (Profit and Loss on the Slopes of Merapi) All of them are collages combining modern Indonesian and traditional Javanese motifs They are romanticised depictions of life as it was in Yogyakarta and Java more generally in the early 1960s they stress the importance of Yogyakarta as centers of Javanese culture and Indonesian nationalism They depict an imagined reality in which harmonious Javanese culture is contained within modern revolutionary Indonesia This evokes the Javanese Islamic metaphysical distinctions between lahir (external) and batin (internal) and wadah (container) and isi (content) The unstated message is that Javanese culture is contained within and/or is the spiritual essence of Indonesian modernity One would not know from looking at them that Indonesia was rife with political and religious conflict in the mid-1960s Kehidupan Masyarakat Jawa Tengah is the simplest of the three collages It refers to a cultural area that includes Yogyakarta and a province which does not The cultural area is not precisely defined geographically It is the area in which Javanese culture has been shaped by the court traditions of the Mataram kingdom and its successors Yogyakarta and Surakarta It includes territories that were formerly parts of the Surakarta kingdom and regions along the northern coast that have a different variety of Javanese culture more closely aligned with Muslim scripturalism Surakarta was absorbed into central Java because its then ruler chose not to support the Indonesian revolution The mosaic is a romanticised portrait of rural Java Aside from a small image of the 9th century Buddhist monument Borobudur The images are of healthy and happy young people engaged in the daily activities of village life A scene of young women bathing in a river may reflect Sukarno’s interest in erotic imagery The overall simplicity and lack of symbols of conflict and modernity evokes his Marhenist ideology that locates the essence of Indonesia in self-sufficient village communities It also resonates with the nostalgia many Javanese have for the (alleged) simplicity and tranquility of village life Kehidupan Masyarakat Yogyakarta and Untung Rugi di Lereng Merapi are each symbolically dense portraits of everyday life Javanese culture and revolution in rural and urban Yogyakarta Revolutionary struggle is a persistent theme there are no overtly political symbols or anything that would point to the political parties that were contesting for power in the 1960s there are idealised representation of the idea of revolution with images of strong men and women engaged in a courageous struggle against an unseen enemy Kehidupan Masyarakat Yogyakarta blends royalist Javanist images with those of urban life and revolutionary nationalism The first features the five Pandawa brothers who are the heroes of wayang lakon (shadow plays) based on Islamicised versions of the Sanskrit Mahabharata epic The largest image is Bima who is known for his strength Sukarno was as fond of wayang as he was of art He used wayang metaphors to describe the Indonesian revolution as a cosmic struggle between good and evil The second links the revolution with Diponegoro the Yogyakarta prince who led a jihad known to history as the Java War against Dutch colonialists from 1825 until 1830 The third is a representation of Yogyakarta’s Islamicate civilization It includes images of the Great Mosque and the Garebeg rituals that celebrate the three most important Muslim holy days Id al-Fitr (Lebaran) at the end of Ramadan Id al-Adha celebrating the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) and Mawlid al-Nabi the commemorates the birth of the Prophet Muhammad It also includes images of every day life include horse carts (andong) and women selling traditional medicines (jamu) and making batik Untung Rugi di Lereng Merapi is stylistically very different from the two mosaics It is a relief carving similar to those found on the ancient Buddhist and Hindu monuments Borobudur and Prambanan It also includes elements of socialist realism the Soviet art style that combined realist technique and idealist representations of life under socialism Merapi is the volcano located to the north of Yogyakarta Villagers living on its slopes are threatened by periodic eruptions the most recent of which was in 2010 Until the 1980s with the proliferation of cars and motorcycles and the resulting air pollution it was clearly visible nearly every day from any place in the city It also figures prominently in the sacred geography of the Yogyakarta Sultanate Sunan Merapi is the guardian of the mountain and is believed to prevent lava and pyroclastic flows from reaching the city It is also the northern terminus of a mystical axis that extends through the kraton and ends at a shrine dedicated to Gusti Kangjeng Ratu Kidul the Queen of the spirits of the Southern Ocean and spirit wife of the Sultans of Yogyakarta at Parangkusumo on the southern coast Thematically Untung Rugi di Lereng Merapi resembles Kehidupan Masyarakat Jawa Tengah in that it includes Marhenist images of village life It also includes images of people fleeing from an eruption revolutionary soldiers and Marhenist workers Untung Rugi di Lereng Merapi is the only one of the three collages that includes a dedication: ‘Presented to: Bung Karno the honorable artist A field for the national warrior artists to fight for honor’ Mark Woodward (mataram@asu.edu) is a research professor at the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict Receive Inside

Besides Prambanan and Malioboro TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - The Yogyakarta City government is in the final stages of planning several regional developments aimed at preventing future economic activity from being solely concentrated in the bustling city center This strategy includes revitalizing the potential of the southern and northern regions of the city which border the Bantul and Sleman Regencies This initiative was announced during a meeting between Yogyakarta Mayor Hasto Wardoyo and Yogyakarta Governor  Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X at the Kepatihan Yogyakarta Complex on Friday as a central point for large buses entering the city," Hasto stated after the meeting tourists arriving on large buses will be transferred to smaller shuttle vehicles upon reaching the city limits This redirection of large bus traffic away from the city center is intended to alleviate the persistent traffic congestion caused by limited parking availability "We will expedite the planning for the preparation of Giwangan Terminal to accommodate large tourist buses passengers will utilize shuttle services to reach the city," added Hasto The restructuring of the southern area of Yogyakarta is also a directive from the Sultan This measure aims to reduce the concentration of tourists in the downtown area Hasto explained that the southern region of Yogyakarta possesses several closely located attractions that can be developed to reduce the economic and tourism disparity between the northern and southern parts of the city the southern region of Yogyakarta features cultural heritage sites with a Mataram Kingdom influence in Kotagede as well as the Embung Giwangan Cultural Park (TBEG) and the XT Square area which was initially intended for souvenir shops but has recently been repurposed as a night market Hasto believes that the development of these tourist destinations in southern Yogyakarta will gradually ease the congestion in the downtown area, which currently heavily relies on the Malioboro-Tugu-Titik Nol Kilometer (Malioboro Street-Monument-Zero Kilometer Point) area as its primary tourist hub Authorities have also begun promoting the development plan for southern Yogyakarta to tourism-related businesses to garner support for the area's revitalization "We are also preparing easy accessibility within the area using shuttle services to connect Giwangan Terminal with

and cold air rises to higher altitudes," he said Air temperatures could be as low as -72.5 degrees to -76 degrees Celsius at 15 kilometers altitude "Thus the ice crystals form and grow bigger," he

Prabowo students from various Yogyakarta campuses took turns addressing the crowd from atop a command vehicle They criticized Prabowo and his cabinet's actions during their first 100 days in office arguing that they had exacerbated the already challenging conditions inherited from Jokowi's era particularly in the economic and educational sectors Derian, the action coordinator from the State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, highlighted Prabowo's budget cut policy this will affect the quality of education in the future moreover the budget that was cut is also unclear where it will be diverted," he stated The protesters also condemned Prabowo's budget cuts which they deemed superficial and ineffective in addressing the needs of the people They criticized Prabowo's Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program arguing that it was being implemented at the expense of other essential public services What we know is that the cost of UKT (single tuition fee) continues to climb and burdens our parents what we know is that the state is wasting the budget to finance a cabinet that cannot work optimally and instead makes things difficult," an orator from UGM declared from the command vehicle The Jogja Memanggil coalition asserted that Prabowo's budget efficiency policy demonstrated inconsistency in providing policies that prioritize the welfare of the people "The chatter of Prabowo-Gibran's incompetent ministers and policies that are only issued for the interests of the party and themselves instead of for the needs of the people condoning corruptors as criminals of state funds," the coalition stated Jogja Memanggil cited several reasons why the public was increasingly dissatisfied with the Prabowo-Gibran Regime including the proposed 12 percent increase in value-added tax (VAT) at the start of the administration The contradictory statements from Prabowo's ministers some of whom suggested that basic necessities and internet services would be affected by the VAT increase "This indicates that both Prabowo and his ministers have poor public communication If public officials have poor communication then those public officials are not competent in their fields," the orator asserted Despite Prabowo and Sri Mulyani's subsequent clarification on December 31 that the 12 percent VAT increase would only apply to luxury goods the public's perception had already been negatively impacted The prices of essential goods continued to rise in the market as many companies had adjusted their prices to account for inflation and the anticipated VAT increase.  "Prices that have already risen in the market are impossible to go down especially with the characters of super-rich entrepreneurs in Indonesia who only want to seek their own profit," the Jogja Memanggil orator added the budget cuts championed by Prabowo were accompanied by policies that resulted in shortages of 3 kg LPG canisters and diesel fuel Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia restricted the distribution of 3 kg LPG canisters to designated outlets claiming that this would ensure a price of around Rp16,000 per refill cylinder "Instead of making it easier and making the people prosper the policy taken by Bahlil actually makes the people miserable Without clear instructions on where the 3 kg LPG canister bases are in each region and their distribution people are confused about getting gas," the orator stated Yogyakarta City Police Chief Senior Commissioner Aditya Surya Dharma reported that the student protest was conducted peacefully He confirmed that no physical clashes occurred between students and police officers There was indeed an act of burning things and throwing paint but it was conducive No one was injured in this action," he said

are primarily located in the Disaster Prone Area (KRB) for medium to high earthquakes,” he said Hadi explained that the quake did not cause a tsunami despite its origin in the megathrust zone This is allegedly because it did not trigger significant seabed deformation he emphasized that the coastal area closest to the epicenter remained prone to tsunami disasters “According to the Geological Agency data,” Hadi reiterated “the southern coastal areas of the Yogyakarta Province and Central Java are classified as tsunami-prone with the potential for high waves reaching over three meters.” The

Development Center (BPPTKG) in Yogyakarta reported that continuous rainfall hit the summit area of Mount Merapi on Thursday Rain was detected on the peak of Mount Merapi starting at 12:19 pm and continued until the afternoon with a rainfall amount of 39.37 mm "Be aware of the dangers of lava in rivers originating from Mount Merapi as well as pyroclastic flows in potential danger areas," BPPTKG chief Agus Budi Santoso said on Thursday Several amateur videos circulating on social media among Yogyakarta residents showed the condition of rivers originating from Mount Merapi blackish-gray lava flows due to the intense rainfall including the Gendol River in Cangkringan District The head of the Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) of Yogyakarta said that the potential for rain-induced lava disasters was increasing due to high rainfall in early December the volume of material (from the eruption) of Mount Merapi has now reached 30 million cubic meters," he said on Thursday Noviar explained that the residue of tens of millions of eruptive materials if washed away by heavy rainfall, would trigger cold lava floods or rain lava flows that could reach rivers originating from Merapi Some of these rivers are connected to rivers that pass through the city of Yogyakarta "The potential danger of rain-induced lava catastrophes is high if the overflow has reached rivers south of Mount Merapi especially if it is carried downstream by intense rainfall the rivers it passes through will experience a rapid increase in water discharge and trigger floods," Noviar added when the peak of Mount Merapi was hit by intense rainfall throughout November the conditions of the rivers coming down from the mountain were still safe The same is true for rivers in urban areas "The water discharge of major rivers is below the threshold which is still safe because their flows have not reached the south of the mountain," he said Although Mount Merapi is still on alert level III and heavy rains are pouring down on the peak several tourist destinations in the area still operate normally Editor's Choice: Cold Lava Flows from Mount Merapi; Dozens of Trucks Stuck

year The waste emergency is a phenomenon of waste piling up in various depots that cannot be transported as the Piyungan Landfill (TPA) has been closed The TPA was the central waste disposal site for the city of Yogyakarta residents often dumped their waste indiscriminately in various places The Head of the Waste Management Section of the Yogyakarta City Environmental Agency (DLH) Ahmad Haryoko, said that they are currently studying this paid waste policy for each waste deposited in the depots "So the volume will be weighed and then evaluated accordingly," he said on Wednesday is advocated to educate the public on how to handle their waste responsibly "The more waste that is deposited in the landfills Haryoko said that the community is expected to become more aware and motivated to learn to manage their waste themselves The Yogyakarta city government has begun testing the policy it is only weighed to measure the volume of waste disposed," he said The Yogyakarta City DLH is waiting for a consultant or a third-party study and will also listen to the public in order to implement this policy Haryoko explained that the average cost for the public to dispose of their waste at the depots is about Rp3,000 per month This is considered as not educating the public to reduce and manage their waste because they do not feel burdened Haryoko said the payment for the paid waste policy will be done through a digital system that will be recorded directly to the Yogyakarta city government "So the payment will not be in cash at the depots maybe we will cooperate with

TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - Workers in the Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) represented by the Indonesian Workers Working Council (MPBI) are demanding a significant increase in the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) for 2024 This demand contradicts the government's instruction for a maximum wage increase of 6.5 percent from the previous year's UMP workers staged a protest in the Tugu Yogyakarta area “We demand a Rp4 million increase in the UMP as workers in Yogyakarta currently receive low wages We advocate for a wage increase based on the cost of living,” said Irsyad Ade Irawan Irsyad emphasized that a decent wage is a fundamental human right aligning the protest with the commemoration of World Human Rights Day Workers are also urging the DIY Governor and the government to adhere to the 2015 Constitutional Court decision regarding minimum wage calculation which mandates the inclusion of the calculation of decent living needs (KHL) the DIY minimum wage should range from Rp3.7 to 4 million,” he explained if the DIY Governor upholds the constitution they must also set a minimum wage that meets the KHL.” The workers strongly reject the wage increase outlined in Minister of Manpower Regulation (Permenaker) Number 16 of 2024 concerning the Determination of the Minimum Wage for 2025 ‘Permenaker 16 is inconsistent with the Constitutional Court decision as the new minimum wage regulations should involve regional governments and wage councils not solely the government,” Irsyad asserted Irsyad criticized the lack of a clear philosophical basis and socio-economic justification for limiting the maximum wage increase to 6.5 percent “A wage increase of 6.5 percent will be insufficient to cover the rising cost of living,” he emphasized Head of the Employment and

championship medal of the Pegadaian Liga 2 2024-2025 Liana helped PSIM secure the Liga 2 title and earn promotion to the 2025-2026 Liga 1 edition a number of big tasks that have been waiting for PSIM management to welcome the homecoming to the highest national caste competition Before discussing the target for PSIM in League 1 Liana ensured that there were many things that her team had to prepare then the city government and security forces who have greatly assisted us especially the supporter community that supports the team We must be able to balance their needs to support the club's goals on the field," said Liana Liana stated that preparations for PSIM to welcome the 2025-2026 Liga 1 season have already begun Not only are they observing potential new coaches and strengthening the quality of the squad but Laskar Mataram has also prepared their home ground and youth development programs The following is the full excerpt of the interview How do you feel after leading PSIM to win League 2 This season is my second year (as PSIM's President Director) I can climb to the highest level pole and get a prize have you targeted winning the championship When entrusted by the consortium of investors I was given the mandate to promote PSIM to Liga 1 Advancing (promotion) as the third rank is fine when looking at PSIM's performance this season I see that we have a chance to become champions becoming champions is a bonus from securing promotion to Liga 1 Because I have to balance the club's ecosystem so the approach doesn't want to be aggressive My team and I are experiencing the competition in Liga 1 for the first time We realize that Liga 1 is very different compared to Liga 2 we do not want to set overly ambitious goals; if possible we aim to remain in the top 10 for the first three seasons while we work on obtaining the (AFC professional club) license Our homework is incredibly much because we have to take care of legality What are the detailed plans for the first three seasons we first learned about the new environment in League 1 it was our time to adapt to quickly fix the team's shortcomings The third year should be on track to try to compete at the top because we are more familiar with the competition and everything we should be able to be a contender for the top position to represent Indonesia in the AFC competition What were the considerations for the initial three-year target design I applied the three-year target so as not to make a wrong move especially how we can not make capital (investors) discouraged It is better for me to understand first about the budget to be more efficient it could make investors reluctant because the results don't match their expectations we hope that the infrastructure will be okay and all the homework will have been completed properly In the Indonesian League era since 1994-1995 PSIM has never survived in the highest caste competition for more than three seasons How do you avoid PSIM from being relegated again To ensure PSIM continues to be in League 1 it is not just my work or the management's alone We are trying to build trust from investors and local governments to meet the team's needs They must continue to support the team when they are happy Don't insult the players when they are down not on the players and coaches who have given their best on the field Now it's time for the 12th player to prove their love for PSIM to make a positive contribution I hope the supporters are also able to maintain PSIM's dignity by always believing in the team's process and supporting the team with all its conditions in League 1 later Mandala Krida Stadium has many shortcomings to pass the League 1 stadium verification Where is PSIM's home ground planned for next season my team immediately moved to Bantul to study the shortcomings of Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul We tried to get Sultan Agung to get the green light when the Ministry of Public Works and the Police conducted a reassessment We are trying our best so that the Bantul key can be opened again so that we can run the match with spectators we are temporarily playing in Magelang (Moch Soebroto Stadium) first Do you have an idea for the coach and line-up for next season I leave it entirely to Razzi (PSIM Dyaradzi Aufa Taruna Manager) so I only provide support to meet the team's needs I heard that they want a young foreign coach League 1 teams are required to have an Elite Pro Academy (EPA) team With the climate of early age soccer development that is less lively in DI Yogyakarta So far we have always supported the coaching and early age competition activities run by Askot PSSI Yogyakarta and Asprov PSSI DI Yogyakarta We have a big goal to have our own academy The academy is a “bridge” for SSB players in Yogyakarta to PSIM We do not want our academy to kill the long-standing SSB We have also contracted coach Erwan Hendarwanto (PSIM interim coach) for more than a year With his passion in early childhood development coach Erwan can help us to form the EPA team for example by improving scouting for young players We are determined to directly train players in DIY so that they can develop from young seeds into professional players with PSIM League 1 clubs have begun to penetrate the sports industry by building official stores and existing in the digital media realm How does PSIM plan to become a new "player" in the Indonesian football industry Compared to clubs like Bali United and Persib Bandung, PSIM is actually not inferior. In fact, we don't need to build anything anymore because we already have Indosiar and Vidio.com (Group) Emtek is the majority shareholder in PSIM so we already benefit from a parent company group that is already involved in the football industry What I have to develop is how to improve the commercial side of the club to be more innovative for sponsors I have many ideas so that we can develop the digital side better Hopefully we can realize it in the near future TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Transportation Agency has started testing two electric buses for the public

has been the central waste disposal location for Yogyakarta City The closure of Piyungan TPST since May 2024 was due to the location being overloaded with waste Hanif urged the local government not to

waste management whether at the city/regency or provincial level must promptly find concrete solutions to address this issue," he said Hanif explained that waste management in Yogyakarta requires
