T

he Jakarta administration plans to develop an IT-based system for supervising child-friendly integrated public spaces (RPTRAs) in response to a lack of human resources.

Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama said city officials were currently preparing an app to supervise and control all activities carried out in RPTRAs across the capital.

"Supervision of all RPTRAs in the future will be conducted by an IT-based system, like an app," said Ahok on Friday.

Currently, he said, the city still uses a manual data system in which the managing bodies of RPTRAs make reports on paper.

"That creates difficulties when we need to find data quickly," said Ahok.

The city currently has 1,000 officers who manage 184 RPTRAs. This year, the administration plans to build another 200 RPTRAs. (dmr)
