ABSTRACT
This research focuses on mapping the responses of the actors involved in the development plan for the New Capital (IKN) of Indonesia in East Kalimantan. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative with the main data source through in-depth interviews with several key informers and supporting informants. The results showed that there were three forms of response dynamics to the development of IKN in East Kalimantan. 1) Those who accept the construction of the IKN, this group are optimistic that the existence of the IKN will bring about socio-economic changes in the community for the better. 2) Most of the parties who reject the IKN development consist of indigenous peoples and several NGOs in East Kalimantan. The reasons for rejection were the concern about the land of indigenous peoples in the construction site. 3) Moderate or middle-class parties: this party views the IKN development from two sides.
