SBY was thinking about a new location central government. If countries such as Malaysia's responsibility and not wholeheartedly. Just 40 km. So most do not move house and eventually became far and stuck.
Should like Brazil who moved his capital so far from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia, or the United States from New York to Washington DC, Japan, from Kyoto to Tokyo, Australia from Sydney to Canberra, Germany from Bonn to Berlin.
Because the remote end to move house. If close, for example in Jonggol or Sentul, inevitably people Tangerang, Bogor, Jakarta, Bekasi, Depok stayed in his house and office in the new capital. Way too far and congestion continues.
Transfer of the State Capital from Jakarta Indonesia
First of all we must realize that the removal of capital from one town to another are common and have been. For example, the United States have moved their capital from New York to Washington DC, Japan, from Kyoto to Tokyo, Australia from Sydney to Canberra, Germany from Bonn to Berlin, while Brazil moved its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia. Indonesia itself had moved his capital from Jakarta to Yogyakarta.
Over Population (Total population exceeds the carrying capacity) is the main cause why many countries moved its capital. For example, currently Japan and South Korea is planning the transfer of their capital. Japan wants to move the capital because the Tokyo area Megapolitan population is already too large: 33 million inhabitants. Was so because the South Korean city of Seoul and the area surrounding the population has reached 22 million. Former capital of the United States, New York and around the total population reaches 22 million people. Jakarta itself according to the former Governor of Jakarta, Ali Sadikin, the Netherlands designed to accommodate 800,000 residents. But when Ali was in the office of Governor to swell the number to be 3.5 million and is now swollen again until the Jakarta metropolitan area, including Greater Jakarta reach a total of 23 million people.
So the transfer of capital is not a taboo and difficult. Suharto himself before the prime minister had planned to transfer the capital Jakarta to Jonggol.
Why do we have to move the capital from Jakarta? Did not bother? What it does not cost too much? The answer to this question should really appropriate and reasonable. If not, just a waste of time, effort, and cost.
First we must realize that the capital Jakarta where more than 80% of the cash in circulation in Indonesia Here are a magnet that attracts the whole of Indonesia to make money in Jakarta. Urbanization of the area to Jakarta so high. Consequently if the Jakarta resident at the time of the year 1975 Ali Sadikin's only about 3.5 million people, currently number about 10 million inhabitants. On weekdays with workers from the region Jabotabek, Jakarta residents to 12 million people.
The population of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi estimated 23 million people. Whereas in 1986 there were only about 14.6 million inhabitants (MS Encarta). If Jakarta continues left the capital, then this number will continue to swell and swell. As a result more and more rampant congestion. The number of vehicles increases. Fumes and air pollution increases that Jakarta was not feasible breathe again. The trees, grass, and soil absorption will be replaced by the less asphalt and concrete floors of housing, office buildings and factories. As an example of a city or forest clearing in the region Senayan Kelapa Gading, Pulomas, and so on are now gone replaced by a mall, office buildings and housing.
The things above will result in:
1. Jakarta will be a very bad city
2. With many people working in Jakarta when their house was on the outskirts of Jabotabek, will result in waste of fuel. At least there are about 6.5 billion liters of fuel with a value of about Rp 30 trillion is spent by 2 million commuters to Jakarta every year.
3. With the congestion and travel great distances, people spend 3 to 5 hours per day just to travel to work.
4. Increased stress due to congestion on the road.
5. Respiratory diseases (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) is also increasing because people are long on the road and vehicle exhaust smoke inhalation
6. Floods and droughts will increase because the water catchment areas is declining.
7. Indonesia's population will be concentrated in the Greater Jakarta area. Currently only about 30 million of Indonesia 200 million people occupying an area of 1500 km2 Jabodetabek. Or 15% of the population occupies less than 1% of Indonesia.
8. Development will be more uneven because of the activities of government, business, arts, culture, industry, all centered in Jakarta and surrounding areas.
9. Level of Crime / Crime will increase because the total area to accommodate the population is too dense.
10. Famines occur because of over-population and the field turned into homes, offices, and factories. Currently the island of Java is the world's most populous island 7 x fold more dense than the PRC. The population density in Java in 1007 while the PRC orang/km2 only 138 orang/km2. No wonder the island of Java, many people are starving and eating parched rice.
This requires the distribution centers in various cities in Indonesia. For example, in the U.S. government center in Washington DC that the number of inhabitants only 563 thousand inhabitants. While there is a business center in New York with a population of 8.1 million. Cultural Center in Los Angeles with a population of 3.9 million. Center for automotive industry in Detroit with a population of 911,000 inhabitants.
Spread activity in the U.S. in some cities. Not stacked in a single city. So that development can be more evenly.
Indonesia also have to be so. All activities are not centralized in Jakarta. If not, then the population of Jakarta will continue to swell. In 10-20 years, Jakarta will be a dead city / chaotic because the number of people too much (when it's just incredible jams).
Let Jakarta quite a business center. For the central government, should be moved to Central Kalimantan.
Central Kalimantan Why? Why not in Java, Sulawesi, or Sumatra?
First Java is a small island that was too densely populated. Size Java only 134,000 km2, while its population of about 135 million people. Density has reached more than 1,000 people per km2. Moreover, the fertile island of Java with the established rice fields should still be preserved farmland to provide food needs in Indonesia. If enforced in Java, the rice area will be reduced as much as 50,000 hectares! Production of rice / other food will be reduced approximately 200 thousand tons per year! Indonesia will further food shortages because of it. During the capital remained in Java, Java will be more solid and the construction does not spread throughout Indonesia. Java has most of the population / over-crowded!
There is also the island of Sumatra is located relatively little in the West. With a population of more than 42 million, building on Sumatra's pretty good.
Sulawesi, with an area of 189,000 km2 and a population of approximately 15 million people are still too small territory. Sumatra and Sulawesi islands that are fertile and suitable for agriculture. So unfortunately if population growth is centered in it. Not to mention the two areas prone to earthquakes and tsunamis ..
There was extensive Kalimantan 540,000 km2 with a population of only 12 million inhabitants. Borneo island is much broader than the island of Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, and the population at least precisely.
On the island of Borneo is also no volcanoes and is the safest island from the earthquake. While in Central Kalimantan coast bordering the Java Sea waves are also relatively calm and safe from the Tsunami. This place fit for the new capital of Indonesia.
Instead Jakarta so close to the ledakkannya Krakatoa x 30 thousand Hiroshima atomic bomb with the 40-meter-high tsunami. Krakatoa explosion effects seemed to Africa and Australia. Today Krakatoa once the sea level has been "growing" as high as 800 meters over the speed "grow" about 7 meters / year. Some geologists estimate the return repeated eruptions between 2015-2083. So Jakarta stay "wait time" alone ...
