To ensure that such development genuinely delivers long-term benefits, several critical considerations must be prioritized. Environmental Impact Assessments (AMDAL) must be conducted comprehensively and transparently to anticipate ecological risks. Furthermore, the project's economic and social feasibility should be thoroughly evaluated---not solely based on financial returns but also on the distribution of benefits for local communities. The availability of supporting infrastructure such as electricity, secondary roads, and clean water access must also be ensured to prevent the industrial area from becoming isolated.
If these dilemmas are not addressed in a fair and inclusive manner, a project that is intended to bring "progress" could instead fuel social conflict, deepen inequality, and leave behind long-lasting damage that is difficult to repair.
