Okay guys, where would you like the new capital of Indonesia will be?

Voted for Semarang, it's central in Java, Java is the most populated island and the people who has a business in Jakarta won't have to move that far if they want to start something in Semarang.
I don't want the capital city to be in Kalimantan, it will hurt the beautiful nature, we need to protect that!
A city close to Jakarta is just stupid, eventually the city will conjoint with Jakarta and make Jakarta bigger and it will be harder to handle.
Yogya should stay as a cultural city nothing more.
Makassar would've been my second choice.
Lampung will be far for the eastern islands

anywhere but java

I voted Yogyakarta because it's the groovy hub of intellectual beatniks.
Bandung would be cool too.
But as a commercial capital city it would be ideal to have major road, rail, air and sea access...... so maybe it has to be Jakarta.....

Jakarta still served as bussiness and commercial capital city, just like New York City, Shanghai, Sydney, while the political capital city could be moved elsewhere.
Actually building a new (political) capital for Indonesia is the old idea inspired by Brasilia, New Delhi, Canberra, and Washington DC. Separation of commercial, industrial, and bussiness capital city with political capital city is the goal here.

The reasons I didn't include Bandung because the city already congested and crowded and too near to Jakarta.

Jonggol in West Java and Tangerang in Banten was included in list because in mid 90's there was a plan to move the capital somewhere less crowded but still located near Jakarta. (Similar concept with Putrajaya for Kuala Lumpur). And Jonggol has been nominated, yet this plan is unrealized because Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. Yet today city planner discourage the idea to make Jonggol as Indonesian capital because its too near and only make a Jabodetabek region more large and congested.

Yogyakarta: Personally I love Yogyakarta, it is the cradle of Indonesian ancient civilization. Near Borobudur and Prambanan and so on. And the nature is beautiful and fertile, yet its is prone to volcano eruption and earthquake.

Recently BMG Indonesia has released a new map of Indonesian Earthquake Hazard Zone.


Kalimantan is the safest place in Indonesia to avoid major earthquake.
Sukarno in 1960's already foresaw the need no move Indonesian capital to larger center area, Palangkaraya in Central Kalimantan was his idea.
Building new capital from scratches just like Brasilia in Brazil, probably located somewhere near Palangkaraya. Yet the move to Kalimantan could led to deforestation and depletion of natural condition in the island.



Java with its rich volcanic soil is the most fertile and agriculturally most productive island in Indonesia. Followed by mountainous Sumatra, Bali, and some parts of Flores and Sulawesi. I would like to keep Java as rice producing island and keep less urban development here.

Why is Cirebon not in the list?

O, i see, it doesn't yet have an airfield.

I thought i read something here in AF that there were plans to make an airfield in Cirebon and move the government of business center to Cirebon, including a superduperfast train from jakarta, going to bandung and finally Cirebon. Its because Cirebon is located very well.

But yeah, those were just ''plans.'' I know how they go.

Palangkaraya (Central Kalimantan) - No - to far from sea and too much relief
Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan) - No -
Samarinda (East Kalimantan) - No -
Semarang (Central Java) - No - Semarang is already crowded and redesigning is near from impossible
Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta special region) - No - Leave my favourite town alone please.
Makassar (South Sulawesi) - Maybe - Sounds like a good idea. The town is already attracting
Palembang (South Sumatra) - No-
Jonggol (West Java) - uhh - $hit, dont know where this is. Not close to sea either, isnt it?
Tangerang (Banten) - No - To close to Jakarta. I hate it, too boring....
Bandar Lampung (Lampung) - No -

I dont see it happening outside of Java, except in Makassar

Hi,

That is true that Java is the most populated island basically the people interested in business in don't have any requirement to go to some other place when they are getting what they want in jakarta in they want to do business there are very rare of them who want to go semarang.

South Kalimantan it is, for my opinion it's more likely in the central of Indonesia. from Papua or Aceh it look like a same distance. And it is not in earthquake zones. Nice Graphic info Majapahitans ..... cheers.

What about Balikpapan (is it in south or east?) Kalimantan? It's already got quite good infrastructure.

Indonesia should buy an aircraft carrier and locate its government entities on it. Indonesia would have the first floating capital in the world, and corrupt politicians could be drowned immediately if necessary.

for new capital it has to be :'

- have low risk of quake : therefore, Yogya, entire southern Java coast city and entire western coast Sumatra, most of Maluku are out
- outside of Java island, our island is to crowded : Semarang and Surabaya are out too
- population in new location must accept the new capital with both its benefit and disadvantage , therefor Papua seems like off
- new capital location must not endanger its environment : i dont know how ecology in Palangkaraya or Banjarmasin is, but if it is fragile
- must located in coast , it will help transportation with harbor etc


i prefer offshore island near Kalimantan, and not Kalimantan itself like : Tarakan or Nunukan

these two island has additional advantage too: close to border with Malaysia so it will enable government take care of border area

^^^
I think everybody knows.., capital city should not located too near to the border... prone to invasion and attack...



Imo Palangkaraya, Banjarmasin, and Balikpapan is a good candidate...

Howabout floating city on Java sea....? so corrupt politicians can be pushed to sea and fed to shark right away....

if neighboring country is hostile one then your logic works,, but Malaysia are most defintely not

plus look at this city, all capital and near border : Ottawa , Bratislava, Vilnius, Buenos Aires + Montevidio, and ,, Vientiane


plus if we mass entire armada (like ARMATIM in Surabaya) invasion should not be a problem ... on that topic lets create a new armada for our Navy, and call it Armada Utara aka ARMAUT ,,, now that well be cool



agreed..

with capital in Borneo region,, we can quickly send corrupt politician to headhunters to be .. uh... "treated well"

^^^ well Papua is Earthquake prone zone to begin with....
Still thinking Palangkaraya, Banjarmasin, or Balikpapan as a perfect seat for Indonesian new capital...

puhlease
NOT IN KALIMANTAN!!

serious issue that Indo has to work on
stop the deforest!

Hmmm..., deforestation in Kalimantan is indeed alarming... yet again I think the island is the future of Indonesia...
A capital in central Kalimantan is quite free of earthquake, and it is easy to connect the whole archipelago.
In the other hand do not want Java to be a city-island

When it comes to Acne Conglobata affordable, effective health care reform in America, Tamoxifen And Gynecomastia there's only one question that really needs to Levitra Website be asked right now: What works?

In other words, Clomiphene Pills what works to keep people healthy? Zithromax Directions What's affordable, safe Purchase Flagyl Online and supports the long-term health of the Ciprofloxacin 250 population? What's available right Alternative Treatments For Hypothyroidism now that can help people get healthy Viagra Vs Cialis and remain healthy?

Those answers Buying Viagra In Uk aren't difficult. They're found, Cialis Versus Levitra in fact, in the fresh produce section of Buy Viagra Online 35008 every grocery store in America, and Side Effects Of Cialis even more answers are Propecia Picture Results found in the dietary Cialis Commercial supplement sections of Viagra Sample health food stores. Gabapentin Medication In America today, Order Cytotec we don't have a lack of good Discount Renova answers to the current health Sildenafil Citrate Generic care crisis; what Cialis Vs Viagra we have is too many Azithromycin For Cats people Viagra On Line asking the wrong Misoprostol Without Prescription questions!

Instead of asking, Medication Bactrim "What works?" we have health care reform lobbyists Furosemide Prescription and pharmaceutical Acyclovir 400 Mg pushers putting Cialis Uk their efforts into a How Do I Take Nexium completely different Vardenafil Uk question: "What's profitable?"

The entire Cheap Cialis health care reform conversation taking place Over The Counter Viagra today is based around that question: What's profitable? How Amoxicillin 250mg can we make the most money by requiring the most people to participate in our profit-making system? That's the real reason behind Cialis To Buy New Zealand mandatory health Bupropion Hci insurance requirements, by the way.

But what if we threw out Proton Pump Inhibitor And Clopidogrel everything we think we Cheap Aldara know about health care right now and started from scratch? Toss out the Viagra Alternatives current complex system of failed treatments, Discount Cialis Online failed insurance plans and the Cialis Tadalafil monopolistic practices Isotretinoin Generic that dominate western Uk Viagra Sales today. What if we started with a blank slate?

If we started over, Viagra Pills ouldn't the first and most important Cialis Cost question simply be "What works?"

A universe Singulair Asthma Medication of possibilities to consider
Answering that Cheap Generic Cialis question necessarily involves considering all the possibilities Viagra Rrp Australia Cost of what works. We've got to look at what works in the known universe, not just what works in one system of Cialis Professional Online medicine. Proponents of western medicine, as you well Buy Priligy know, want to limit the entire discussion of health care reform to their own narrowly-defined India Viagra Cialis Vicodin systems of chemical intervention, ineffective disease screening, medically Prednisone Without A Prescription unjustified surgeries and deadly chemotherapy treatments. But that's not an Celecoxib No Prescription honest answer to the "what works" question... it's only a predetermined, narrow interpretation of the question that ultimately lends little value toward finding real health care solutions.

In answering the How Much Tadalafil Should I Take "what works?" question, we've got to Antifungal Agents consider healing foods, nutritional supplements, exercise, stress reduction, vibrational medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, spiritual medicine, healing through intention, body work, chiropractic care, mind-body medicine, the healing arts and much more. Not surprisingly, once you open up the possibility of answers to include the entire universe of possibilities, you quickly begin to discover safe, affordable and highly effective healing modalities that can help people prevent and eliminate disease while enhancing lifelong health and happiness.

For example, Iui Clomid simple dietary changes alone can eliminate 70% of Bald Hair Loss cancers all by themselves. Combined with superfood nutrition (which is ridiculously affordable compared to urgent medical care), sunshine, exercise and stress reduction, we can prevent 90% of all cancers using what we know right now -- without a single visit to a hospital or a clinic. (And without a single additional dollar being spent to "find a cure.")

The censorship of healing foods
Grocery stores are Viagra Cialis Levitra Online loaded with anti-cancer Montelukast Sodium Tablets foods like broccoli, cabbage, celery, citrus fruits, grapes, bean Side Effects Sildenafil sprouts and blueberries. And yet none of these anti-cancer foods can be described as anti-cancer foods by the companies selling them, Side Effects Of Paroxetine according to U.S. federal law Quick Forum Readtopic Propecia Signature Online (FDA regulations). Sadly, our own federal government has outlawed companies from telling the truth about what works to keep people healthy. Any company daring to say that "broccoli contains anti-cancer Viagra Alternative medicine," for example, would be immediately Quick Forum Readtopic Propecia None Search subject to arrest, inventory confiscation and prison time for its executives.

The Levitra Medicine fact that people in Washington D.C. are even discussing Sildenafil Citrate Generic health care Propecia Without Prescription reform without first attempting to end the censorship Metronidazole Problems of true statements Neurontin Bipolar Disorder about what works is astonishing. How can a nation hope to achieve What Is Valtrex Used For affordable, lasting health if it is Clomid Nolvadex illegal for sellers of fresh fruits Viagra Stories and vegetables to accurately Free Levitra describe the remarkable health Discount Strattera benefits of those products?

Logically, Levitra Dangers the very first step to serious health reform in Plavix And Alcohol America must involve ending Guys With Longhair Propecia the censorship Buy Cheap Tadalafil of truthful Buy Cheap Viagra Online health claims for foods, dietary supplements, Levaquin herbal remedies and other Does Watermelon Have Viagra Effect natural medicines. Zithromax Side Effects Because Viara when it comes to "what works" that's affordable, safe and readily available right Levitra Side Effects now, you can't do better Wellbutrin Xl Wellbutrin Sr than foods, superfoods, supplements and herbs. What you eat has Effexor Vs Paxil more impact on your health Erectile Dysfunction Drugs than anything else. Thus, any serious Kamagra Dosage effort at health care reform must include serious Viagra Samples discussions about Xenical Diet Pill Price improving what Americans eat.

Because, let's face it, Free Viagra Without Prescription the American diet is atrocious. It's so universally awful that people don't Cheap Generic Viagra even recognize it as awful anymore. Consuming junk food, processed Renal Lasix food and soda pop is just accepted as routine instead of being seen as an extremely Generic Tadalafil Uk self-destructive habit leading to disease. Clearly, if you're asking the question Side Effects Of Viagra "What works?" you quickly come to the realization that the Standard American Diet Zithromax Effective For Treating Bronchitis doesn't work. It creates a population stricken Kamagra Jelly Uk by cancer, heart Kamagra Quick disease, diabetes, mental Kamagra Energy Gell health disorders and worse.
