Abstract

The idea to move the national capital from Jakarta to another city has been widely discussed by both the government and academics. The relocation of the national capital today is believed as one of the solutions to overcome the country's problems. The city of Jakarta as the capital of the country is currently experiencing considerable pressure, especially in the area of air pollution, garbage, lack of environmental carrying capacity, high population growth, so that according to predictions it is difficult to accommodate future population growth. In the end, the government made a decision to move the national capital according to the plan, which would be done carefully and quickly. The decision to relocate the capital of the country gave rise to an interesting study material to be discussed, namely: the problem of the reasons for the need to move the national capital, including the criteria for determining the location of a new national capital and also the problem of planning ideas for a new national capital. The decision to relocate the capital and determine a new location, of course, must be studied in depth although the discourse of the new capital in question is not designed to be a big city. What also needs to be examined is the readiness of the local government and its inhabitants to support the transfer of the new capital and also the condition of Jakarta's development into the future after the capital is moved to another place.
