This paper assesses the government's capacity and local people's readiness to address
sustainability challenges in developing a new Indonesian capital in East Kalimantan Province.
Although the overall national advancement in sustainable development is deemed inadequate,
the province chosen for the location of the new capital city exceeds the national average in
attaining Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Household surveys indicate limited local
knowledge, attitudes, and practices in sustainable development, yet the community's openness
to migrants is identified as an advantageous characteristic in facing urbanization. Skepticism
is raised regarding the effectiveness of the new capital's development in addressing
sustainability concerns, emphasizing the need for government commitment to integrating
sustainability measures. Ongoing support is crucial for locals to navigate challenges and
capitalize on opportunities arising from the urbanization of their villages, leading to
improvements in livelihoods.
