This year's Indonesian Independence Day ceremony will be held in two locations: Jakarta and the Nusantara Capital City (IKN).
According to a Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) survey, 67.1% of respondents considered it important to hold the ceremony in IKN, while 30.2% deemed it unimportant, and 2.7% did not know.
Of those who considered it important, 35.4% believed the ceremony in IKN was important because the location is officially Indonesia's new capital city.
Furthermore, 26.9% felt the ceremony was important to demonstrate the government's seriousness in relocating to IKN, 22.7% to showcase the progress of the new capital's development, and 9.6% believed this event could convince investors to invest in IKN.
"For the public, the Independence Day commemoration in IKN is a form of the government's commitment to the relocation of the capital city," stated the Litbang Kompas research team in their report on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
"Hopefully, the symbolically demonstrated commitment through the Independence Day ceremony in IKN will attract investors to participate in future development," they continued.
This Litbang Kompas survey involved 530 respondents across 38 Indonesian provinces, selected randomly and proportionally.
Data collection was conducted from July 22-24, 2024, through telephone interviews. The survey's margin of error is approximately 4.32% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
