When we heard Yogyakarta, what do you think ? Yes... the first thing that comes to our mind is Malioboro. Malioboro is tourism place located in the middle of Kota Yogyakarta. As time goes by Malioboro has changed. The old and new Malioboro is definitely different in every aspects. Beside the place, the culture and the people also changed. People
nowadays might find the new Malioboro more attractive and modern, Looking through old pictures of Malioboro, it is a pretty much proof that
Jogja has developed a lot. For instance, Malioboro nowadays is obviously more
crowded than the old time. This situation might happen because of the
increasing of population. Indicate, the old Malioboro was more spacey, as we
can see in the old picture of Malioboro that lots of people walk rather than using any possible transportation. Yogyakarta, especially, Malioboro,
is a tourism destination. When people or visitors see it as a place where they
can spend time for vacation or so, this makes the place grows rapidly and becomes
a business area. It looked spacey and cleaner back then. We don’t really see
much billboards or banners. If there aren’t any or, at least, not as much as
now, our eyes will probably be more comfortable. Also, along the side roads,
there are lots of sellers selling their stuffs, like clothes, accessories,
bags, food, tattoo, and piercings. These crowds make pedestrians feel a little
uneasy. But, the now Jogja orMalioboro is actually not that bad either. We can
see that Malioboro is more artsy and cultured—not that the old time is not, but
it is more. This kind of development makes Malioboro attracts more people to
spend more time there for shopping, visiting historical places, or even just
for a little walk and sightseeing. Since human beings experience evolution, so
do places—they develop and progress. It is natural. Throughout times, people
tend to change depending on its social and economic demands (and perhaps from
any other aspects, too). This also occurs to Malioboro. Change is needed and,
sometimes, it is good. So, if you come to Jogja don't forget to visit Malioboro, the icon of Jogja.
