REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- DKI Jakarta Provincial Government renovated 15 slum and uninhabitable houses in Tanah Tinggi, Johar Baru, Central Jakarta.

“There are 15 KK (head of family) whose house is indeed not habitable, it is in Tanah Tinggi, Central Jakarta. So if there are 15 KKK, it means that there are 15 translation sites,” said Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono when met at the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta.

The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of DKI Jakarta dismantled and renovated the house and moved the residents to temporary homes. A total of 15 of the houses were renovated into the 36-plus type.

“The house is demolished and we raise enough four floors of type 36 plus, (if it is finished) we move them back,” Heru said.

Heru hopes that, after the renovation process is completed, the residents can jointly maintain the house. “Hopefully, later, Mr. Wali, who in Tanah Tinggi, residents of (RW) 12 or 15 KKK, will be obliged to become a TB training cadre. Because the house has been repaired, it is quite good and quite decent,” Heru said.

The area of each dwelling, which is 18 square meters (m2) and later four floors are built. “Every unit there is a toilet, a laundry room, a habitable room and later after it is built (the occupants) can take care of each of those houses,” he said.

The renovation of the settlement is planned as a “Healthy Home” with a number of indicators such as getting enough lighting, having good air circulation, having adequate sanitation and available clean water.
