North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency which are located in East Kalimantan Province are two locations that are planned as the New Capital of Indonesia (IKN). This has become one of the factors changing land cover from vegetation land to urban land, so that it can contribute to temperature changes. In this work, we analyze impacts of land use change on temperature in the new capital city. The change will simulate land cover changes using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with two scenarios of land cover change from vegetation land to 547 % and 1,222 % urban land. Scenarios I and II will increase the temperature to 1.17 and 1.77 °C, respectively. This could means that the addition of more urban areas results in an increase in temperature. The quantitative values of this connection will be beneficial for urban planners to manage the development of new capitals without having a significant impact on climate change.
