The Key of Sustainability

SINTANG, THE AGROPOLIS Abstract

Strategic spatial planning has a role in encouraging growth and tackling the problems of a region. As the heart of Borneo, Sintang Regency, located in the province of West Kalimantan, suffered losses from flooding due to climate change up to IDR 6.538.018 million. Those hinder the development of Sintang Regency, especially in optimizing natural resource reserves that have not been used up to IDR 138.661.037 million. So, through analysis and plans using backcasting method carried out in 2021/2022, Sintang Regency planned to be developed as a smart agropolitan regency based on climate change which is projected to increase GRDP up to IDR 16.249.500 million while increasing regional capacity index to be high.

The planning method used is strategic spatial planning, which looks at priority issues and considers the availability of regional resources to encourage growth and tackle the problems of a region. This planning is accompanied by a backcasting method that begins with identifying regional problems and then making a vision as the primary goal to be achieved and then comparing it with current conditions. The formed gaps can be synthesized and elaborated with problems to formulate actions and solution strategies.
