<![CDATA[The agrarian disputes linked to the development of the new capital continue to escalate, characterized by the forced eviction of residents and the appropriation of land belonging to indigenous communities. This research employs normative methods, utilizing a statutory, historical, and conceptual approach. The aim is to investigate, study, and analyze the legal politics surrounding the relocation and construction of the national capital and examine efforts to protect customary land and support Indigenous communities throughout this process.The findings indicate that the move of the National Capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan is fundamentally intended to enable future governments to act consistently and to avoid various paradoxes in pursuing the nation’s goals of achieving a prosperous and equitable Indonesia with a sustainably growing economy. Efforts to safeguard Indigenous Communities and their customary land during the development of the new capital include: 1) the establishment and prompt ratification of legislation concerning Indigenous Communities; 2) the provision of adequate compensation and guarantees for the livelihoods of Indigenous Communities who are landowners and are affected during the land acquisition process for the new capital; and 3) measures to mitigate the impact of livelihood loss for Indigenous communities while preparing alternative means of livelihood]]>
