Borobudur Temple was already famous Kaloka sak Nuswantoro monconagoro lan. A temple that stood in the area currently included in the administrative area of Borobudur subdistrict of Magelang District in Central Java, is a Buddhist shrine that was built during the reign of ancient Mataram dynasty Dynasty. Based on the writings contained in "feet" of the closed form of Borobudur Temple is an ancient Javanese script originating from letters Pallawa, estimated in the founding of the temple in the year 850 AD.
But apparently behind the magic and splendor of Borobudur temple there are some things that I think is quite tragic for wong Magelang. And all this time maybe these things are well known general audience at large, or perhaps not widely known. These include:
(1) Many wong Magelang who have never entered into the Borobudur Temple area. From some time to chat, most of them mentioned that the price of admission is the price driven up, (the current ticket price 17,000 IDR). And as a resident of Magelang, especially school children, never get a special dispensation in the form penggratisan or discount ticket prices. So it is logical if they are the average economic level-Eman Eman feels spending money to just see the 'rock', they said.
(2) Magelang regency, never getting any profit to enter into the budget. The management of this tourist area by a similar state also manages and Prambanan Ratu Boko. Prior to 2008, Magelang regency still get a share of the results of non-tax levy (levy ticket), but when the Regional Regulations (regulations) that became canthelan Magelang regency law was canceled by the Minister of Home Affairs has since Magelang District will never get back. Magelang regency has attempted to make an appeal through the Court but lost in an effort to appeal.
Why is that? Therefore, Borobudur is a national asset and is managed by the national state through the national (central government) was the one who get the profits to go into the state budget. Magelang regency, from the tourist areas are just getting retribution hotels, restaurants (restaurant), as well as parking outside the complex attraction.
(3) District of Borobudur, where the temple is located, is included in the top 10 districts with low per capita income people. As per the data I per by, income per capita on average in the District of Borobudur is less than 3 million dollars. It is extraordinarily small. Even the District of Borobudur had been a district with a poverty rate as the number 3 Magelang District. It is ironic indeed, where there are areas of vital objects which become national and even international tourist attraction but are not getting the community about its positive impact.
It is not always able to say that the existence of world-class attraction was positively correlated with income level people. Why so? (1) In nature, the District of Borobudur is a dry area, so jangnkan in the dry season, the rainy season just hard water. This makes the people there that the majority of farming is always faced with this condition. (2) The owners of large businesses in the surrounding area was nearly 70% is not a local resident. Most of them are investors out of Magelang. While the local community just opened a small stall.
Hopefully useful, since only a few that I know the magic behind the Borobudur Temple.
