OIKN Accelerates IKN Development Without Disruption Of Local Communities

The Capital Authority of the Archipelago (OIKN) has accelerated the development of the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN) without harming the community, who were affected by the new capital city development project.

"We are preparing steps so that development continues and the community is not harmed," said Acting (Plt) Deputy Chief of OIKN Raja Juli Antoni in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan Province, quoted from Antara, Friday, June 14.

This step was prepared so that the IKN development could run quickly and on time, he continued, and still respect the rights of the people as directed by President Joko Widodo.

Menurut dia, OIKN bakal menyelesaikan proses pembangunan ibu kota negara baru dengan baik. Pembangunan dipercepatkan secara bersamaan masyarakat diberlakukan secara baik dan adil sesuai arahan kepala negara, tambahnya.

"One of the steps we have prepared is the handling of social impacts (PDSK) plus," he explained.

The PDSK plus process is currently in the stage of determining the subjects and objects carried out by the North Penajam Paser Regency Government, some areas of which are part of the IKN area.

After the determination of the subject and object was completed, according to him, the integrated team consisting of provincial and district governments, OIKN, and the National Land Agency (BPN) conducted socialization to the public.

One of the obstacles faced in accelerating the development of the new capital city of Indonesia is the land acquisition needed for the construction project location.

The problem of land acquisition varies, such as residential areas, forests, and others, each location has a character of the problem that will be resolved by OIKN.

Every area affected by the development project will be approached by PDSK plus, he said, but the problems of each resident cannot be generalized.

"We are committed to resolving it properly according to the land rights basis, some are relocated and landed houses or flats are built, as well as cultivated land to be replaced with growing crops or plantations," said Raja Juli Antoni.
