Yogyakarta has considered meeting all 7 criteria, well (historical value, originality, regeneration, economic value, environmentally friendly, has an international reputation and has widespread). Achievement to have the predicate is to be grateful for, as well as to create a responsibility for Yogyakarta to always maintain and continuously develop the 7 criteria above, to show the people of Indonesia also to the world or public that this predicate is 'worth to obtain'.
