Basuki: Target for Relocation of ASN to IKN is 1,700 to 4,000 People
Jakarta, VIVA – The Head of the IKN Authority, Basuki Hadimuljono, stated that his agency is targeting the gradual relocation of civil servants (ASN) to the Nusantara Capital (IKN) until 2029. Currently, the projected number of ASN to be relocated to IKN ranges from 1,700 to 4,100 people.
Basuki explained that the target for ASN relocation to IKN is outlined in the IKN Authority’s 2025-2029 strategic plan. He added that the relocation of ASN is one of the main performance indicators in IKN’s development.
“The target number for ASN relocation to IKN is 1,700 to 4,100 ASN,” said Basuki during a meeting in Commission II’s Meeting Room at the DPR RI Building, Jakarta, on Monday, 30 March 2026.
The ASN relocation is part of two main priorities for IKN development, namely the construction of the core government area alongside strengthening the social and economic functions of the area.
The relocation of ASN will proceed alongside the development of basic infrastructure and supporting facilities.
He explained activities for planning and developing areas in IKN, one of which is the spatial arrangement of the Core Government Centre Area (KIPP) and its surroundings. The target built area is 850–1,100 hectares.
Other priorities include the construction of legislative and judicial office buildings; the development of decent, affordable, and sustainable household housing; and the construction of supporting facilities and infrastructure such as drinking water management systems, domestic wastewater, and waste management.
The development of accessibility and connectivity is also a priority activity. This aspect includes the construction of road infrastructure and underground utility networks (MUT) up to urban mass public transport services.
On the other hand, the implementation of a smart government system, which includes smart city information systems, digital ecosystem development, and licensing service systems, is also a first priority activity for the OIKN.
Meanwhile, the OIKN’s second priority activities for 2026 cover social development, economic superhub, and environmental management.
“This includes community economic empowerment, increased investment, development of economic superhubs, improved community welfare, forest and natural resource protection, disaster mitigation, and the development of sustainable agricultural areas to support food security in IKN,” explained Basuki.
