I am also very grateful to my supervisors, Prof. Heiko Faust and Prof. Werner Kreisel, for constantly providing intellectual support and space to let me find my own way of realizing this doctoral project as well as Prof. Christoph Dittrich, Human Geography division leader. I also learned from my colleagues from Division of Human Geogra- phy and Indonesian community in Göttingen and other presenters, as I try to attend as many sessions as I can at the venues where I speak. The contributions of all these people have been invaluable. For full scholarship and other support, thank to the Directorate General of Higher Education Republic of Indonesia and Brawijaya Uni- versity. Last but not least, I also want to express my appreciation to my wife and daughter, Fiska and Azzalea, who have served as a sounding board for supporting my work.
