The Yogyakarta City Cultural Office continues to assess and study a number of cultural heritage buildings. So, it is estimated that the number of buildings included in the list of cultural heritage in Yogyakarta will increase. Previously, 33 buildings were enlisted on the heritage list and this year, the number has been set to 44 buildings. Head of the Yogyakarta City Culture Service, Eko Suryo Maharso said in Yogyakarta on Saturday (3/11) that it is possible until the end of 2019 to be increased to around 200 buildings. Determination of 44 buildings is included in the list of cultural heritage through Decree of the Yogyakarta Mayor No. 435/2018. Some of them are Ndalem Notonegaran, Yogyakarta Education Office building, SD Negeri Sosrowijayan building, Rumah Kalang in Kotagede, and a number of houses standing up to the building that are now being used as hotels. According to Eko, there are still many people who are afraid if their homes or residences are specified in the list of regional cultural heritage. Therefore, Eko said, the Yogyakarta City Cultural Service will intensify socialization related to various rules for the preservation of buildings that are included in the cultural heritage list. He also said that one of the things that we want to do is to form a community or at least a group through a conversation application in a bid to accommodate people who are currently occupying or taking care of heritage buildings. They can communicate with each other and obtain information more easily.
