Efforts to relocate the country's capital city have become a hot issue that is widely discussed at this time. President Joko Widodo emphasized that the relocation of the national capital will be carried out in stages starting in 2024. The President of the Republic of Indonesia stated that the government will seek to move the capital city from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. The relocation of the capital city has drawn pros and cons from various parties, especially among the public. Some people agree with the government's action, because the island of Java has become a magnet for Indonesia's economic growth, on the other hand, the population in Java is also too dense. With the implementation of the capital city from Jakarta to East Kalimantan, it will realize equal distribution of economic growth, and population. Development will also be spread evenly so that it will not be fixated on the island of Java. Meanwhile, those who oppose the relocation of the capital city argue that it will allow environmental damage. Cities, settlements, shops and markets will have a negative impact on the forest ecosystem in Kalimantan. In addition, Kalimantan is known as a place where people live with local wisdom, some people worry that moving the capital from Jakarta to Kalimantan will change the lifestyle of the people from local wisdom to a more modern and liberal lifestyle.
