Abstract

Sepaku is one of the sub-region in Penajam Paser Utara which is known as part of the Indonesia New Capital City (Ibu Kota Nusantara/IKN). It has three coastal villages including Mentawir, Pemaluan, and Maridan. In regards to the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), this research aims to identify the local potential and to point out the potential strategies. Under the ICZM, the local potential should take into account the criteria of communities or coastal expertise, coastal facilities, natural resources, and responsible stakeholders. In cooperation with the result of ICZM identification, the local potential is considered under the Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threat (SWOT) Analysis. It is identified that Sepaku has local potential in the coastal area which substantial to the development of the new capital city. To conclude, this research suggests that Sepaku needs to have progressive strategies. It means that the priority strategy has to use its components of strength to mobilize the opportunities.
