\"New<\/a>A<\/span> new report,\u00a0Airport Expansion in Indonesia: tourism, land struggles, economic zones and aerotropolis projects<\/a>, has been published by the Third World Network (TWN) in partnership with the Global Anti Aerotropolis Movement (GAAM). Airport expansion in Indonesia is closely intertwined with a government drive for massive tourism growth, and the 64-page report looks at 58 airports, operational, under construction and still in the planning stage.<\/p>\n

New airports, and expansion of existing airports, frequently entails displacement of communities and loss of farmland and the report documents land rights struggles relating to 25 airport projects. Planners often hone in on forested land as an alternative to the use of agricultural land for airport projects.<\/p>\n

Aviation expansion in Indonesia is integrated with other megparojects such as multi-lane highways and sea ports, and linked to new Special Economic Zones (SEZs). These areas are designated for industrial and tourism development, provided with surface transportation networks and other supportive infrastructure and lavished with tax breaks and other incentives. Several SEZs have been bestowed with long stretches of coastline boasting white sand beaches, natural assets that are a cornerstone of tourism.<\/p>\n

There are many plans for aerotropolis-style development, including around two airports currently under construction in Java \u2013 Kulon Progo and Kertajati \u2013 in the face of vigorous and long standing resistance from communities being forced to leave their homes and productive agricultural land. A number of aerotropolis plans are integrated with development of tourist resorts that aspire to become aviation dependent destinations in their own right. The report accompanies GAAM\u2019s digital map which features all the airports<\/a> that are mentioned, integrating spatial information with text and images.<\/p>\n

Since the report went to print plans for a new airport in the Seribu Islands (Thousand Islands) off the coast of Jakarta have been announced. This appears to be a scheme for tourism oriented aerotropolis style development as the Jakarta administration has stated that the winner of the tender will be permitted to build resorts near the airport, and will be provided with incentives.<\/p>\n
