Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, potentially be used as the capital of Indonesia because of the geopolitical side, the geological, geographical and strategic enough, said a political observer from the University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Nurmandi Achmad.

"Making Palangkaraya in lieu of Jakarta, the geopolitics is an equitable distribution business development because during this time infrastrukktur development is concentrated in the western part of Indonesia especially Java," he said in Yogyakarta, Wednesday (08/04/2010).

In addition, according to him, the geographic position right in the middle of Palangkaraya Indonesia and has the geological conditions are relatively safe from natural disasters. Palangkaraya tends to be safe from earthquakes and floods than other cities.

"The cost to build Palangakaraya a city that is ready to become a center of government to provide infrastructure, both buildings and roads, is estimated to reach Rp 100 trillion," he said.

He said the fund of Rp 100 trillion is more or less efficient than the cost to solve current problems such as traffic jams in Jakarta, floods and other problems.

"The amount of Rp 100 trillion that could be repayable over 10 years of state budget to build a new capital," said professor of Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (Fisipol) University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) it.

However, according to him, the transfer of capital would have led to resistance from the parties who have interest in Jakarta, such as DKI Jakarta, West Java and Banten. "Resistance can emerge from the three parties because all three requiring closer political access and quick response to the central government. If you move the capital, political access will also be more distant," he said.

He said that, there's one thing to be anticipated if Palangkaraya became the capital of Indonesia, namely the readiness of the local population. "Local residents should be prepared and should not be marginalized. So, all should be prepared carefully," he said.
