About the project (provided by the applicant)

The development of a private tourist company site (named Ibarbo Park) that sells typical Yogyakarta goods, located on Jl. Magelang, is experiencing an identity crisis in terms of design, branding, and activities. Additionally, it faces challenges in attracting customers on Jl. Magelang.

Apart from that, Ibarbo Park must respond to a market that primarily consists of young people aged 17–25 years, budget-conscious tourists, and potential visitors traveling by car or bus along Magelang Street.

Therefore, the designer should:

  1. Understand what users want, as this will have a direct impact on their satisfaction.Increase income, as higher revenue will allow for further
  2. improvements, enabling the company to establish a sustainable economic cycle.
  3. Address consumer demand for nature-based experiences; aligning with consumer desires will help create new green open spaces in Ibarbo Park.
  4. Recognize the cultural interests of Yogyakarta's visitors, as catering to these preferences will help promote Yogyakarta’s culture while sustaining Ibarbo Park’s revenue.
