“…As such, the debate between the concepts of security and prosperity in border management on Sebatik Island should not be restricted, considering how people will always look for an efficient (i.e., potentially illegal) way to fulfill their needs. A study of cross-border development strategies in the Krayan-Ba'kelalan region on the Indonesia-Malaysia border discovered that social and cultural relations are formed by efforts to meet life needs due to low resources and accessibility (Arifin et al, 2022). Another study by Braunerhielm et al (2019) shows that the interaction of the people of Varmland Province on the Norwegian-Swedish border grows from local interests in matters that influence their lives, such as travel to the border, job opportunities, and trade activities on the border that are close to Norwegian shopping centers.…”

Border management has, on the one hand, grown beyond the conceptual limit that is the terminological deﬁnition of borders as lines separating countries to also factor in their development as areas. On the other, it should aim to strengthen state sovereignty and improve the welfare of its citizens. Tese ofen lead to the dichotomy between security and prosperity in border management approaches. Regionalism is an approach used to create regional integration across national borders, but this concept is strongly inﬂuenced by the interests of states on each side of the border. Terefore, this research explores if spatial interaction between border communities is controlled by the regionalism concept introduced by the state or, instead, grows organically as part of regionalization due to livelihoods that require border crossings. It used a case study of Sebatik Island in the Indonesia-Malaysia border area. Te qualitative research design applied exploratory principles on the spatial interaction pattern formed between border communities and then synthesized the identiﬁed units of information on transboundary activities while considering government-issued policies on border management. Results showed that regionalism was only minimally implemented in managing the border area. It means that border landscapes in Indonesia are organically formed on the micro-scale even though the perspective of regionalism has long been adopted at the regional level, i.e., ASEAN.

“…It is due to the rapid growth and development that necessitate new space for activities, which affect changes in the boundaries of a country. Additionally, the sovereignty of a country is explicitly and implicitly visible from its territorial boundaries(M. A. N. Arifin et al, 2022;Broich et al, 2013). Without territorial boundaries, a country may face difficulties in gaining recognition of its existence in the international world and recognized as a subject of international law (Okhonmina, 2017).…”

This study aimed to investigate the participation of border communities in maintaining national identity in the border areas between Indonesia and Timor Leste. The research approach utilized in this study was a case study, and data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The study focused on border communities in East Kobalima District, Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The findings revealed that border communities participated in maintaining the spirit of nationalism and national identity in three ways. Firstly, they participated in Technical Guidance (Bimtek) on Border Guard Management and capacity building activities for border communities, including the maintenance of national boundary markers such as National Boundary Pillars (PBN) and Border Sign Posts (BSP) along the national border. Additionally, they preserved local culture. Secondly, the community actively participated in flag ceremonies to commemorate the anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia and National Education Day. Thirdly, they participated in preserving the national language in border areas to communicate with fellow Indonesians and citizens of the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste (RDTL).
