STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT. Nusantara Capital City Authority Chair Bambang Susantono said that the new capital would be the world’s first to implement the forest city concept. He went on to say that only 25 percent of Nusantara’s land area would be developed, with the remaining 75 percent set aside for green space, including 65 percent for tropical rainforest.
Meanwhile, East Kalimantan Governor Isran Noor said that the Nusantara Capital City project will be built on green development principles in order to restore the environment in East Kalimantan.
At least 16 thousand workers will be sent to accelerate the construction of the new national capital in Sepaku sub-district, North Penajam Paser district, the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority has said.
The workers will arrive in Sepaku soon to support the development of IKN Nusantara, Deputy of Social, Culture, and Community Development at the IKN Authority, Alimuddin, informed here.
The arrival of 16 thousand workers has the potential to give rise to social insecurity or problems in the community that must be anticipated as early as possible, he added.
There are at least 42 radical groups that could potentially infiltrate Nusantara’s new capital city, according to VI/Mulawarman Military Region Command Expert Staff Group Chief Brigadier General Ivancius Siagian.
Terrorism observer Al-Chaidar said that he agreed because the new capital city’s geographical position is vulnerable to attacks. He said that there are no water or mountain barriers separating the capital city of Nusantara from the territory of another country in the north, and the city is situated too close to the edge.
