Sustainable Development Strategy Of The Capital City Of The Archipelago (IKN) In Encouraging Innovation And Economic Equality In Indonesia

Abstrak

This article discusses the sustainable development strategy of the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN) as an effort to encourage innovation and economic equity in Indonesia. IKN is designed to be a new growth centre that not only reduces dependence on Java, but also improves accessibility and infrastructure in the Kalimantan region. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach through a literature study, which analyses various sources related to the impact of relocating the capital city on the economy and environment. The results show that the development of IKN has the potential to create jobs, attract investment, and improve people's quality of life. However, challenges such as natural resource management, indigenous peoples' land protection, and the digital divide need to be addressed. The discussion emphasised the importance of collaboration between the government, private sector, and communities to achieve sustainable development goals. With an inclusive and sustainable approach, IKN is expected to become a model for future urban development, as well as contribute to equitable economic growth across Indonesia.
