Abstract

There are several benefits and drawbacks that have been discussed by many groups regarding moving the capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. The decision to transfer the capital was driven by two key factors: realising excellent governance and achieving an equal distribution of development. People living there will undoubtedly be psychologically affected by the move of the capital city of the archipelago, which is one of the stages of national and sustainable development (SDGs). Relocating the capital gives a snapshot of the state of goals 3 (a healthy and prosperous life), 8 (decent jobs and economic growth), and 11 (sustainable cities and settlements) in the SDGs aim. In light of this, the goal of this study is to ascertain the dynamics of a citizen of the capital city's openness to change. There were ten informants from the government and ten from the civil society of Sepaku District, a potential location for the future capital city. The method is qualitative, and the tools for gathering data are interviews, focus groups, and observation. The findings of this study show that the total state of being prepared to adapt mentally, ethically, legally, and spiritually to regional changes is what one's readiness to change as a candidate for citizenship of the capital city is. To ensure that the residents of Sepaku District are prepared for the shift, this preparation necessitates explicit socialisation throughout the development process.
