Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Community Development (AMCA 2018), 2018
The main issue of this paper highlights the development policy and prosperity of the people in the border area. The border area has always been the sexiest issues to discuss, as it is identical as a lagging and isolated area. The collaboration between the government and local communities to overcome those problems is needed. In this case, development policy becomes the key role in order to increase the quality of social life especially for the local people. The notion of development has lost its significance due to the absence of ethics or moral dimension. Practically, the ethics make the development more meaningful for the entire human life and environment comprehensively.

The Indonesian government has implemented a border development policy. Still, it has not been able to answer the complexity of the problems that occur in border areas, especially in North Kalimantan. The development of border areas is closely related to the mission of national development, defence and state security to improve the Welfare of the people in the border areas, especially to ensure the integrity and sovereignty of the state. However, the condition of border communities in North Kalimantan is increasingly marginalized, where poverty and regional isolation trigger the high demands of local people to become border crossers to Malaysia. This study will examine the factors causing the economic backwardness of border communities in North Kalimantan, poverty and isolation of border communities, and security issues at the border. The results show that the border area needs to be closely monitored because it is a security-prone area. This makes the border development paradigm in Kaltara prioritize a security approach rather than Welfare. This causes the border areas in North Kalimantan to be scarcely touched by the dynamics of development. Therefore, border development needs to be placed in a people centre of development-oriented to people's economic development for sustainable communities through accelerating economic growth, improving the quality of human resources, and strengthening institutional capacity for border area development. Thus, border communities can enjoy prosperity by protecting and maintaining state sovereignty at the border.

North Kalimantan shares the borderline with Malaysia in Nunukan and Malinau regency. However, the condition of the border area residents in those areas is marked with severe underdevelopment. Responding to the issue, Indonesian border policy began to adopt an economic and environmental approach besides the traditional security approach which emphasizing military presence in the border area. The intention is to boost the economy and increase the prosperity of the border area residents. Nevertheless, this article argues that the Indonesian government needs to include the societal security approach in the policy as the people who live in the border area have their unique customs and traditions that could be at odds with the current policy. The adoption of the societal security approach will complete the picture of the North Kalimantan border policy and could go hand in hand with other approaches as a border development program.

Territorial boundaries are known as a marker for the sovereign authority and national identity of a country. However, the border region in Indonesia is precisely synonymous with underdevelopment, poverty, and lack of infrastructure. Moreover, the illegal activities such as smuggling of goods, human traffic without official documents, and territorial conflicts often occur. Therefore, prosperity paradigm is required to develop management in the boundaries areas. There are various funding schemes to accelerate the development of the border region through social security program in islam. For example, we can utilize two pillars of the social fund in which wakaf fund reached Rp. 3 billion as well as Rp. 300 billion of mosque fund. Through relevant literatures for our descriptive analysis, we offer the concept of agropolity, ecotourism, and minapolitan to increase the value-added of the products based on innovation and sustainable business focus. This concept is expected to increase the employment opportunities, accelerating sustainable development, and improving the income of the households in the border region. Hence, the awareness of society is highly encouraged in order to strengthen the national identity and to maintain the sovereignty of the country. As a consequence, the communities can be more independent to develop the border region without depending on the government budget.
