Abstract

This study undermines a recent development of joint-cooperation between Indonesia and China regarding high-speed railway and its supporting constructions. New dedicated railway, train technology, and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) are part of the initial project, which planned concurrently along the projected area. All of these new railway and TODs are new and distant from already built residences and business centers. These study breakdowns how the Indonesia-China High Speed Train project were initiated and explaining vital factors that surrounds it. Reflecting on how Korea and France dealt with KTX (Korean Train Express) project, the TODs, railways, and train technology compare to Indonesia-China High Speed Train project, Indonesia-China project appears not sustainable and driven by other political and economical will.

  • Considering the number of laws violated in the development process of the JBHSR venture but continuing and building new stations that are far from population and transportations centers, how is the comparison between the JBHSR Indonesia-China partnership and the Korean Train Express (KTX) Korea-France partnership being taken and benefiting the respective host country? This study argues mainly that the development of the JBHSR and its Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) will not bring major any sustainable benefits, politically and economically, for the locals and the benefited partners due to the lack of feasibility study and the number of laws violated yet still proceed
