InJourney Renovates Homes for Sleman Residents Near Candi Sites

InJourney Destination Management (IDM), also known as PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan dan Ratu Boko, has officially handed over a renovated house to Ny Kroniah, a 70-year-old resident in Sleman, Yogyakarta. This initiative underscores the company's tangible commitment to corporate social and environmental responsibility (TJSL) during Indonesia's 81st Independence Day celebrations.

IDM's Director, Febrina Intan, stated that the assistance aims to improve the quality of life for local residents by providing safe, healthy, and livable housing. "Our presence here is not just about managing a destination, but more importantly, it's about how IDM can provide benefits, especially to the surrounding community, both socially and economically," Intan explained.

Before the renovation, Ny Kroniah's home was a 6x7 meter non-permanent structure with bamboo walls, a simple plastered floor, and a dilapidated roof. It lacked adequate sleeping quarters and proper bathroom facilities. The handover ceremony included a prayer, a plaque signing by Febrina Intan, and a traditional rice cone cutting, followed by the presentation of the house keys and a tour of the refurbished home. Local community leaders and officials from the Kalasan sub-district leadership communication forum (Forkopimcam) attended the event.

To date, IDM has rehabilitated a total of 56 houses in the vicinity of its managed sites, including Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, and Ratu Boko Palace. The company plans to increase its annual rehabilitation target to approximately five houses per year to extend its benefits to a wider population. The renovation of each house typically costs between Rp50 million and Rp60 million, supplemented by in-kind contributions from the local community in the form of labor and supporting materials. The exact amount varies based on the specific condition of each house.
