One of the web of Jogja
see part 1: Jogja as the City of Arts Southeast Asia
Already many databases Jogja tourism, but that if the most excellent and managed is yogyes.com available in Indonesian and English. In addition, along with the growing popularity of the website bersistem 2.0 (user not only consumers, but also producers of information) such as Twitter and Facebook, appears accounts handing out free information as @InfoJogja, @JogjaUpdate, page YOGYAKARTA, or @InfoSeniJogja.

But the weakness of the accounts of the collector it is a system that continues to move rapidly timeline. Need a model of city information collection more raw, regular, complete, and systematic. To that end, almanaklah answer. Specifically, the question this time is a town almanac art.

City free guide

Almanac city of art is a combination of city and almanac almanac art. He is not only a directory address as the White Pages, but menerakan qualitative description, even if the vehicle needs to be unrated art that can be visited in Yogyakarta.

Given the almanac is usually heavy, it might be imagined is the preparation work is definitely heavy. All can be very easy to refer to the Oxford English Dictionary the preparation work that began in 1858. Frederick J. Furnivall, co-creator of the OED, create an ad in the newspaper to call for help readers volunteers who then volunteered to help with the preparation of the dictionary. With the existence of such sites or accounts yogyes.com divider info on social networks, preparation of the almanac material need only be done by several editors. Therefore, it needs to do only a select and verify the data.

By involving more people in the almanac data collection, the benefit is in addition to the cost of collecting data to zero rupiah, the event will also introduce the almanac was very early. Partisan information gatherers will also become customers in the future. In other words, the promotion has been done ever since the object is still in the form of raw data. It plural occur in cyberspace when major companies launched a beta version of a product (trial version) are not at risk in product acceptance by consumers. Criticism, suggestions, as well as consumer behavior towards the products it is very useful to enhance the product.

Another important thing is, this almanac later be packaged by leveraging the convergence of media: the form of print, digital, and online. The second imperative, regardless of its form, it should be available for free. Therefore, the first objective is mass-me-the first information: that Jogja is a city of art. Price is the first and largest obstacles for potential tourists to see. The second obstacle is the motion. For example, the Department of Tourism and Culture in Yogyakarta has worked well when generating several books on tourism and culture. But worse, the book is actually printed is limited and to get people to move to come to the offices. What if those interested are people who live outside of Java? Certainly very troublesome. Regarding free mechanism that does not harm more details can be read in the book Free: Radical Price Changing the Future (Gramedia, 2010).

In short, the promotion and convenience as possible for potential tourists is an important factor for making the almanac as popular as possible. Furthermore, know that it will work by itself bring tourists to Yogyakarta. When described by analogy, it may be this: not all people who use smartphones do need the features provided, but because people know (and want to know more) about the product, they also eat them.

The last part is, all the information must embrace and connect the components of tourism, namely lodging, transportation, shopping, souvenir shops, hawker centers, and others.

Creating a "Google"

Fine art is the Jogja tourism potential untapped. Here can be found the traditional paper form (puppets, keris, wood-carving, batik) to modern and contemporary (painting, sculpture, graphic art, architecture, new media, photos, and movies). Art space spread out in private homes, art galleries, cultural centers owned by the government, up in public spaces. Performing-arts event presented almost all the time. Information about all of the scattered, menyerak, so much, while not organized. Almanac city of art is what will be collecting the data, reference information which was originally so that first comes to mind when a person would roam Jogja from wherever he is. For a wealth of information sometimes it makes people confused where to start. To that end, this almanac will be a sort of "Google", something that was first thought someone when they want to find out. He must also tercitrakan as a source of valid, objective, and not contaminated ads.

The end of 2013 will be held Biennale Jogja XII. The mat this time is the second series of a series featuring the Equator Biennale Jogja cooperation with other countries. The first series sponsored late last year has showcased the works of artists of India and Indonesia. It is an international gawe that could otherwise provoke people come from all over. Do Jogja is ready to become an icon of Southeast Asian art?
