Jakarta Acting Governor, Heru Budi Hartono hopes that the settlement arrangement program, including repairs to residents' houses, can support health aspects in the community and the environment.
We'll tour the five regions
According to him, the houses revitalized or repaired had livable standards in terms of infrastructure and sanitation facilities.
This matter could reduce the number of stunting and tuberculosis cases in Jakarta indirectly.
Acting Governor Observes Refugee Site in Kapuk Muara"If it has been revitalized so it is livable. Sunlight can also get enough into each other's homes. Indirectly, the Jakarta Government by carrying out house renovations can reduce stunting and overcome tuberculosis indirectly," he expressed, when he attended house repairs in the framework of settlement arrangement on Jalan Palem, Palmerah Urban Village, Palmerah, West Jakarta, Sunday (8/6).
As for the information, the Jakarta Government also keeps synergizing with various parties in carrying out settlement structuring programs. As one example, as many as 28 houses in Palmerah will be repaired in collaboration with the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation.
He instructed the mayors to record the location of residents' settlements that needed to be arranged in their respective areas.
"We'll tour the five regions. In the future, we will arrange it even better, for instance, there is a room that can be used for interaction or a common room, we will talk about the house being above, below the room for being together," he added.
He urged residents whose houses had been repaired to set an example for their surroundings in terms of maintaining cleanliness, improving health, looking after and caring for their children so they would not experience stunting.
"Thus, our children can be healthy in the future. I entrust it to RT, RW, whose house will be revitalized later, the owner of the house must show cleanliness, a decent life and so on. It could be an example to continue elsewhere," he stated.
