This study examines the impact of relocating Indonesia's capital city from Jakarta to East Kalimantan on the local economy, workforce, and associated challenges. Using qualitative methods and descriptive analysis, the findings reveal positive effects such as increased investments and economic growth driven by new infrastructure and heightened economic activity in property, hospitality, and transportation sectors. However, challenges like rising property prices, gentrification, and social changes demand sustainable spatial planning and effective social impact management. Proposed mitigation strategies include thorough planning, social infrastructure development, local economic empowerment, and regular impact monitoring. The capital relocation has the potential to boost local economic growth if managed effectively.

This study aims to analyze the implementation, stages, and obstacles in public policies issued by the Kutai Kartanegara Regency government to protect the social environment of the community, through Regent Regulation Number 22 of 2022 concerning Smoke-Free Areas (KTR). This policy aims to reduce exposure to cigarette smoke in public places, in order to improve public health. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The focus of this study is on policy analysis, socialization, the establishment of special smoking areas, controlling tobacco advertising, as well as law enforcement and the role of the community. The results of the study indicate that there are challenges in the implementation of the KTR Perbup, including low public awareness, limited resources, and lack of coordination between related parties. This study suggests the need for expanded socialization, strengthening the role of the community, consistent law enforcement, and closer collaboration between government, industry, academics, the community, and the media. With pentahelix synergy, it is hoped that the KTR policy can be more effective in creating a healthier and smoke-free environment in Kutai Kartanegara.
