In order to prepare for athletes, officials, and visitors during the games, several significant changes are being done in both host cities. Palembang expands its Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport more than a hundred percent.[17] Currently the airport is served by only seven airlines and served only three other ASEAN countries, which are Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The Inasoc is currently improving the number of flights, especially connecting flights from Jakarta and Singapore to Palembang, and also easiness for charter airflights from other SEA Games participating countries.[18] South Sumatran Office of Transportation, Communication, and Information will provide a total of 40 buses, 100 midibuses, 300 minibuses, and 100 motorcycles for the athletes, officials, and journalists.[19] Besides, a bus rapid transit, Trans Musi, will serve Palembang and surrounding regency of Ogan Ilir and Banyuasin.Jakarta is served by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. On December 31, 2010, Jakarta's bus rapid transit, TransJakarta opened its newest two corridors, Corridor 9 and 10. KRL Jabotabek is a mass rapid transit system which serves Jakarta and its commuters. There are currently two mass transportation systems under construction, the Jakarta Monorail and the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit System but there is no sign these projects will be finished before November 2011.
Concerning traffic jam in Jakarta, police will block trucks from the inner city toll road between 5:00am and 10:00pm, just like during the ASEAN summit.

[edit] Mascot
Previously, the government of Palembang had chosen Sumatran elephant as the mascot through an open contest, but there was a suggestion from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the National Sports Committee of Indonesia to use Rajawali instead.[27] Rajawali is an Indonesian hawk. Then both Sumatran elephants and Javan hawk eagles were discarded in favour of Komodo dragons. The chosing of Komodo dragons for the Games' mascots was in line with an Indonesian effort to promote Komodo National Park as a New 7 Wonders of Nature candidate.
[edit] Eco-policy
The government of South Sumatra declared its commitment to incorporate eco-policy with the games.[28] All venues during the games will also be free smoking area.[29]Palembang as the first city outside Jakarta to host the SEA Games is facing some environmental problems due to development for the games.[30]

[edit] Concerns and controversies
[edit] Event cut down
The Indonesia SEA Games Organizing Committee proposed to stage a total of 577 events during the games, but later the Minister of Youth and Sport, Andi Mallarangeng ordered the committee to reduce the number, especially for those events with less than 4 countries to participate.[55]Countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam deplore the decision which being made by the host country. Indonesia decided to remove some events from cue sport, shooting, aerobic, petanque, and table tennis. Most critics come out after the host country decided to remove the women's football. On the other hand. Indonesia includes new disciplines, some of them are considered unpopular by other participating countries, such as contract bridge, parachuting, roller sports, wall climbing and vovinam.[56]
The strategy of cutting down the numbers of medals for sports that are the advantages of other countries has been a major problem for Southeast Asian Games that being carried out by the host country. At 2001 Southeast Asian Games, Malaysia introduced lawn bowls, netball and petanque, 2003 Southeast Asian Games, Vietnam added fin swimming and shuttlecock, 2005 SEA Games, the Philippines added arnis, a demonstration sport in 2003, with 6 sets of medals and it won 3 gold medals.
