“…Apart from that, in terms of realizing an inclusive society, several conditions of fulfilling development are needed first; as previously conveyed, such development includes the development of human resources, health, economic equality, and political participation of the community (Beckett 2009, Gea et al 2016, Pelle & Laczi 2015, Walker & Musti-Rao 2016. The presence of a new autonomous region is the key to equitable development in the upstream area of the Mahakam River, although it sometimes is seen that new regional autonomy has poor development prospects (Simanjuntak 2015, Warsono & Yuwanto 2016, Wismono et al 2015.

The new autonomous regions have been seen as a burden because many have not developed into areas that can build inclusive societies. The upstream area of the Mahakam River in 2013 bring forth a new autonomous region called the Mahakam Ulu Districts, and the study aims to describe development planning in the region. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using secondary data. The research results show that the newly autonomous region of Mahakam Ulu Districts is a breath of fresh air for the people of the ideals of equitable development in their regions. Development planning has also upheld the SDGs’ goals; this can be seen from the programs that have been carried out, aiming to bring the Mahakam Ulu District prosperity and justice. The transformation of the values contained in the pillars of the SDGs has also felt to be present in the annual priority programs that have been carried out by Mahakam Ulu Districts, including in terms of social development, environmental development, economic development, and legal and governance development which continue to be pursued by all parties upstream of the Mahakam River, Mahakam Ulu Districts.
