Therefore, such social gathering will be planned intensively, "said Dr. Rinekso Soekmadi in front of hundreds of owners of boarding houses in the neighbourhood of IPB.

The concept of ideal residence initiated by Ditmawa IPB, there should be the standard for safety system, cleanliness, decency and good manners of social interaction. For safety, each boarding or rented is encouraged to have their respective gate that are lockable;  segregate rooms for male and female students (specifically for girls or boys); has specific curfew; iron bars on every window; recommended CCTV for the sensitive places; and the regulations on entertaining guests. "These standards should be implemented to suppress crime (theft of motorcycles, laptops, mobile phones, etc.) that are often suffered by students. In addition, the curfew and regulations in entertaining guests are to prevent students of vice and immoral, "said Dr. Megawati. (Wied).
