Abstract

This research focuses on the potential disasters at the Indonesian Capital City (IKN) located on the island of Kalimantan, which is set to be the future capital of Indonesia. East Kalimantan is prone to 13 different types of disasters, including floods, flash floods, forest fires, and landslides, particularly during heavy rainfall. To effectively mitigate these disasters, it is essential to remap evacuation routes using an accurate Geographic Information System (GIS). Measurements of height, slope, and width in the IKN area are necessary, along with an evaluation of existing evacuation routes. This will ensure that the community has access to safe and capable evacuation pathways. Additionally, research on the potential and distribution of earthquakes in East Kalimantan from 1900 to 2024 indicates that the earthquake risk in the Indonesian Capital City area is very low. Similarly, an assessment of forest fire occurrences from 2012 to 2021 reveals minimal fire risks in the IKN region. Thus, while some disasters need to be carefully monitored, the potential for significant forest fires appears limited.

Conclusion

Geographic Information System for Disaster Mitigation in the Indonesian Capital City (IKN) on the Island of Kalimantan. This research addresses the potential disasters facing the Indonesian Capital City (IKN) on the Island of Kalimantan, which is set to be the future capital of Indonesia. East Kalimantan is susceptible to 13 types of disasters that frequently occur, including floods, flash floods, forest fires, and landslides, particularly during heavy rain. Therefore, it is essential to remap evacuation routes for disaster mitigation using a precise geographic information system. To ensure effective evacuation, measurements of height, slope, and width in the IKN area are necessary, along with an evaluation of existing evacuation routes. This will enable the local community to have adequate and safe evacuation options. Additionally, an examination of the potential and distribution of earthquakes from 1900 to 2024 in East Kalimantan reveals that the earthquake risk in the Indonesian Capital City area is very low. Furthermore, an analysis of forest fire occurrences from 2012 to 2021 indicates that the potential for forest fires in the IKN area is minimal and can be monitored effectively.
