Abstract

This study examines the legal, social, and political dynamics surrounding the relocation of Indonesia’s capital city to East Kalimantan, with a focus on the implications for governance, public opinion, and economic development. The study highlights the legal challenges, including issues related to the establishment of the Capital City Authority and its relationship to local government structures, as well as issues of land acquisition and the rights of affected communities. The study also explores the social impacts of the capital city relocation, addressing public opposition related to the high costs, potential social disruption, and perceived injustice, alongside support from certain groups advocating for regional development and economic equity. The study further explores the political implications, particularly the shifting power dynamics in the new capital city region, the influence of political parties, and the importance of transparency in decision-making. Overall, the study concludes that while capital city relocation offers opportunities for more equitable regional development and economic growth, it requires careful legal reform, public engagement, and efficient resource management to ensure long-term success and minimize social injustice. The study’s findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive planning and collaboration among stakeholders to address challenges and achieve sustainable development goals.
