SAMARINDA - Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono stated that the welfare of the people around the IKN area and local wisdom is a concern in the development of IKN.
"Local residents in the IKN area are my citizens, of course I defend them. Even the welfare of the residents is our target, don't let the capital city of residents get bad, I don't want this to happen," said Bambang, quoted from Antara, Monday, September 4.
He also admitted that he had conveyed to the Deputy Head of OIKN for Social, Cultural and Community Empowerment, Alimuddin that local settlements should be maintained and local culture is highlighted as much as possible, so that local culture appears in the public not only as an object, but must be a subject.
He said this during a discussion with four traditional figures from Balik and Paser, at the IKN Construction Worker Residential, Saturday (2/9) to provide an understanding of the importance of maintaining local wisdom of community customs.
The four traditional leaders are Hasanudin as Chairman of the Sepaku Subdistrict Indigenous Paser Institute (LAP), North Penajam Paser Regency (PPU), then Busy as the traditional figure of the Sepaku Village Balik Tribe, then Jumbaen as the traditional leader of Pemaluran Village Paser, and Sopian Noor as the Chairman of the Maridan Village Paser Traditional.
"In principle, the indigenous people of Balik and Paser in Sepaku are my citizens, so their interests are also in my interests. If residents don't want flooding, I don't want that to happen," said Bambang.
On that occasion, he also invited traditional leaders to maintain local wisdom, customs, because what OIKN wanted was the same, namely local customs must be maintained, so that the active roles of traditional leaders and leaders are needed.
"We want to introduce to the world that in the IKN area, we do have a wealth of customs that remain sustainable, so we started a tourism scheme equipped with a number of traditional facilities, including lodging, food, and customs," he said.
