Report: Airport Expansion in Indonesia: tourism, land struggles, economic zones and aerotropolis projects.
A 64-page report published jointly by TWN Third World Network and Global Anti-Aerotropolis Movement (GAAM). A massive aviation expansion drive in Indonesia is closely intertwined with schemes for tourism growth and many projects are beset with land struggles. Several airport projects are linked with Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and a number are part of broader plans for aerotropolis-stye development. The report contains maps showing the location of airport projects - preparation, under construction and planned - and two of the airport sites - Kertajati and Tanjung Lesung.
