Towards a sustainable new state capital (IKN): Sustainable zoning plan formulation based on quantitative zoning approach

Indonesia's state capital relocation to Kalimantan Island started with the ratification of the Bill on the State Capital (IKN). The relocation was one of the development strategies to replace the old "Java-Centric"development approach. This change will hugely affect the socio-economic-environmental condition on the Kalimantan Island itself, especially around Balikpapan-Samarinda corridor, as that region is the focus of the new state capital development. Urban expansion and conurbation in that corridor will have various impacts, including changing economic structure, environmental degradation, and especially social imbalance and exclusion of local/traditional tribes in that region. This research will aim to evaluate and formulate a better zoning plan in the IKN area with a shifted focus on improving and preserving environmental quality and social inclusivity of traditional villages. This research will use a quantitative zoning method based on urban containment and the forest city concept. This research results in the improvement of the zoning plan in the IKN area. There is a special cultural enclave zone consisting of the traditional village and its cultural activities as conservational areas. The zoning regulation is also improved to direct the expansion process in Balikpapan-Samarinda corridor and prevent urban sprawl, allowing the region to develop more sustainably.
