Abstract

Introduction

Indonesia's relocation of capital from Jakarta to Nusantara (Ibu Kota Negara [IKN], East Kalimantan) presents economic, educational, health and business opportunities for local communities, as well as their hopes and fears. However, the potential benefits arising from the relocation are contingent upon communities' and government stakeholders' readiness to collaborate with each other. This study aimed to invoke community and stakeholder participation, identify community perspectives on needs, and understand relevant government departments' approaches to avail themselves of opportunities.

Methods

A community survey (N = 402) was co-designed by the research team, local health stakeholders and delivered to participants by local primary care staff. Qualitative interviews were conducted with seven (n = 7) government stakeholders responsible for policy and planning in social welfare, health, environment, and sanitation, and a community organisation. A seminar with government stakeholders detailing the survey's findings included discussions about how to foster benefits for locals.

Results

Survey results highlighted that local communities held chiefly positive views on the impact of IKN development. These included enhanced transport networks, business and employment opportunities, and access to healthcare and education. Perceived challenges included local communities' relative disadvantage in competing with new, larger businesses; increased urbanisation; and environmental concerns, including dust pollution and flooding. The seven (7) interviews provided insights into the local and provincial government plans and actions with regard to employment and business opportunities, health, and the health care and the environment.

社区参与、调解和倡导利用印尼新首都搬迁对当地社区的发展效益：将社区和政府观点联系起来的行动研究。

导言：印度尼西亚将首都从雅加达迁至努桑塔拉（东加里曼丹，Ibu Kota Negara [IKN]），为当地社区带来了经济、教育、卫生和商业机会，同时也给他们带来了希望和恐惧。然而，搬迁所带来的潜在利益取决于社区和政府利益相关者是否愿意相互合作。本研究旨在激发社区及持份者的参与，了解社区对需求的看法，并了解相关政府部门利用机会的方法。方法：由研究小组与当地卫生利益相关者共同设计社区调查（N = 402），并由当地初级保健人员交付给参与者。对7名（n = 7）负责社会福利、健康、环境和卫生政策和规划的政府利益相关者和一个社区组织进行了定性访谈。与政府利益相关者举行的研讨会详细介绍了调查结果，讨论了如何为当地人带来利益。结果：调查结果突出显示，当地社区对发展IKN的影响持积极态度。这些措施包括加强交通网络、商业和就业机会，以及获得医疗保健和教育的机会。感知到的挑战包括当地社区在与新的、更大的企业竞争时处于相对劣势；增加城市化;还有环境问题，包括粉尘污染和洪水。7次访谈深入了解了地方和省政府在就业和商业机会、卫生、卫生保健和环境方面的计划和行动。
