President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo surprised us this week when he
revealed the plan to move the capital city. The idea is not new, but the fact
that Jokowi, who is on course for a second term, discussed it at a Cabinet
meeting as the administration prepares next year’s budget suggests that he
might be serious this time around.
The plan has never been completely off the table, although the
discourse has only emerged whenever Jakarta, the overcrowded,
congestion-riddled city that suffers from seasonal floods, shows signs of
failure as a city.
But the options laid out have not convinced the public that it
will happen in the next 10 years. The government singled out provinces in
Kalimantan and Sulawesi as a way to break free from Java-centric development.
This has raised eyebrows for several reasons. Central Sulawesi was
ravaged by an earthquake and tsunami, which was followed by soil liquefaction,
in September last year and the province is still rebuilding.
Kalimantan might be a better choice. Geologists have said it has
avoided earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but its vast tropical forests have
continued to be burned to make way for plantations, producing haze. The
extractive industry has caused the death of hundreds who fall into abandoned
pits, while other forms of environmental degradation have raised more doubts on
the restoration of damaged areas to allow for the development of a functional
new capital.
Infrastructure development on both islands will be costly as roads
and rail networks struggle to link villages, cities and regencies. The
government will need Rp 450 trillion (US$32 billion) to build the new capital,
not to mention resettle workers and their families from Jakarta.
More cost-efficient plans for a new capital may be available in
places closer to Jakarta, where infrastructure does not need to be built from
scratch and where land banks are available. The experience of the Sunda Strait
tsunami on Java’s western tip and seasonal tidal floods in Jakarta mean coastal
areas are not among the options. Neither are sites near active volcanoes.
The massive development of railways in Greater Jakarta and a
high-speed train that will link Jakarta and Bandung may provide the government
with some options. Not only have the areas been connected with toll or rail
roads, they will be served by the LRT that is expected to run above the
Jagorawi toll road. The areas are also closer to industrial zones in Karawang
and Bekasi, as well as other cities in West Java.
By designing more cost-efficient plans, the government can still
allocate funds to build more growth centers outside Java, which later should be
conveniently linked to the island.
The government should make sustainability a priority in developing
the new capital. Without considering access to water, sanitation systems and
proper drainage, the government will only repeat its mistakes in city planning.
Another task will be rebuilding Jakarta, the country’s commercial
hub, as a better place to live.

The
Summarized
The Indonesian President, Joko Widodo or ‘Jokowi’ agreed
to the discourse on the moving the capital city. This plan has actually been
around for a long time but has not yet come to light until President Jokowi
approves the discourse on moving the capital city. The moving the capital from
Jakarta to another place was due to Jakarta showing signs of being a failed
city. But even though it has been approved by the president, the implementation
of the moving the capital city still does not know when it will be implemented.
The government chooses 2 place options that will be used
as new capitals. The first is Kalimantan island, and the second is Sulawesi
island. This selection according to the editorial writer is quite strange and
inappropriate. The reason is because considering that in September 2018 Central
Sulawesi had just been hit by an earthquake and tsunami that made the area
damaged in terms of infrastructure and economy. At present the province is
still in the process of recovery.
Other options for Kalimantan, according to the author,
are also incorrect. Kalimantan Island might be better, this island is safe from
earthquakes and volcanoes. But cases of burning forests and causing smog need
to be considered. Of course this forest burning case will be an additional
homework and needs extra attention if Kalimantan Island is made a new capital.
Infrastructure development on both islands will certainly
cost a lot. The government will need around Rp. 450 trillion (32 billion US $)
to build new capital for infrastructure capital not to mention resettle workers
and their families from Jakarta.
The author proposes another option to view. The capital
city is still on the island of Java. The massive development of railways in
Greater Jakarta and a high-speed train that will link Jakarta and Bandung may
provide the government with some options. They will be served by the LRT, which
is expected to run above the Jagorawi toll road. The areas are also close to
industrial zones in Karawang and Bekasi, as well as other cities in West Java.
Another option proposed by the author is the permanent capital city in Jakarta,
but the government must work harder to improve Jakarta and make Jakarta a
decent capital.
