Indonesia announced in 2019 that it has established a new administrative capital in East Gariman, Borneo Island, and the new capital is named Nushan Dala.Nushan Dala will also be used on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of Indonesia in 2024.
This decision is mainly because Jakarta is too crowded.After 1997, Jakarta began the privatization reform of the water supply system.However, the coverage of the water supply network has not been significantly improved, and groundwater is excessively extracted, resulting in the settlement of the land of Jakarta.
Garriman is located in the world's third largest island -Borneo, and is also a single island (Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia) with the most countries in the world.In addition to having the oldest tropical rain forest, Kalimantan is also the only island in Indonesia without actual volcanoes.There is no Typhoon, earthquake, and active volcano, which is also a relatively peaceful area.
Nushan Dala is expected to cover an area of 2560 square kilometers, surrounded by hilly landscapes, forests and natural bays.Borneo is located in the South China Sea, and sets the capital here, which also highlights the emphasis on the South China Sea of the South China Sea.As an important country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia pays attention to the stability and security of the South China Sea issue, and also has the potential to play its geographical role and influence.Although Indonesia is not a country of reefs in the South China Islands, as the main stakeholder of the region, Indonesia plays a positive role on the South China Sea issue and is committed to maintaining the peace and stability of the region.
However, Nushan Dala is still difficult to determine as the development prospect of the administrative capital.Compared with the administrative capital of other countries, Nushan Dala is small and has a small population.This limits the potential of economic and commercial development.
Compared with the large cities formed by the natural environment and historical factors, the economic scale of the administrative capital is relatively limited, the employment opportunities provide less, and the diversity and innovation of business activities are relatively insufficient.This makes the administrative capital relatively lagging behind in the economy and business fields, and it is difficult to compare with other major cities.
In addition, Nushan Dala's geographical location is far from other major cities in Indonesia.The closest Salalingda and Bali board also take two hours of drive.This leads to inconvenient transportation and connection, and more time and resources are needed to transport personnel and supplies.This geographical isolation has brought some challenges to the development of the city.
In addition, as a new city, Nushan Dala is relatively insufficient in terms of cultural diversity and vitality.Compared with other big cities or tourist cities in Indonesia, Nushan Dala's choice and experience in art, culture and entertainment is relatively limited.How to balance the local culture of Garriman and the culture of other parts of Indonesia is also a difficult task.The cultural scene of the city is relatively weak and lacks rich and diverse cultural activities and institutions.
As a political and administrative center, Nushan Dala may be restricted to a certain degree due to geographical isolation.This may lead to a sense of distance between the public and the government, affecting the transparency of the government and the participation of the government's affairs.
Due to the relatively small scale, Nushan Dala's facilities and services may be relatively limited.According to the existing plan, all energy of the city will come from renewable resources, 10%of the land will be used for food production, and 80%of the new capital's transportation will be supported by public transportation, bicycles or walking.It is estimated that by 2030, there should be a highway between the airport and the government's location.However, the relatively small market size and population base are likely to limit the investment and development of Nushan Dala in infrastructure and public services.This may have a certain impact on the quality of life of residents.
Nushan Dala, as the new administrative capital of Indonesia, has unlimited potential and challenges.Its geographical location and natural environment provides unique opportunities for the development, but there are also some difficulties in building modern infrastructure, attracting investment and promoting economic diversification.In addition, it is necessary to balance the impact of local culture and globalization to ensure that the cultural and social development of cities continues to flourish.This is also necessary to achieve a modern and sustainable new administrative capital through scientific planning, sustainable development and social participation.
