Estimation of Opportunities for Trafficking in Persons: Analysis of Podes 2021 Data for Sanggau and Pontianak Regions in the Framework of Strengthening National Resilience

Abstract

The relocation of the capital of the Republic of Indonesia (IKN) to East Kalimantan was chosen by the government due to its proximity to Balikpapan and Samarinda, water resources, and extensive plains with minimal risk of natural disasters, along with available government land for development. However, this plan has sparked various debates regarding its impact on urbanization, spatial planning, infrastructure provision, as well as the potential marginalization of local communities and social conflicts. From the perspective of national resilience, this study aims to identify human trafficking opportunities in Sanggau Regency and Pontianak City using a quantitative approach. The findings reveal that the presence of foreign nationals (WNAs) and the dominance of the tertiary employment sector significantly influence the level of human trafficking. These results underscore the necessity for a comprehensive national resilience strategy to prevent human trafficking and support the establishment of a new capital city in East Kalimantan.
