[1] sub-district, Sanggau, West Kalimantan Entikong has the opportunity of Province. The analysis in this study used an economic growth in the border area. This interactive model with components area is a border region which has the highest including: data collection, data reduction, economic activities throughout West conclusions which the withdrawal/ Kalimantan- Sarawak. [2] The most verification of data and the data economic activity is trade sector which presentation. [4] grows because the formal cross-border door of Entikong-Tebedu (Sarawak) has been RESULT opened since 1991.As the cross-border door, In general, the finding in this study this area becomes the entrance and exit door is divided into: (1) potential of the priority for trade flows between regions, as well as location in Entikong sub-district; and (2) becomes the strategic location for economic Mapping of the Superior Commodity. activities. The strategic position of Entikong Potential of the Priority Location in and the formal access of border lead the Entikong Sub-District increase of commodities and people Existing potential Existing potential in movement. This increase occurs in the Entikong sub-district consists of agriculture, income and outcome flow. In terms of animal husbandry, plantation, fishery, people movement, it tends to show an forestry and mining. Some of these increase from year to year with average of potentials have been utilized while some income flow which is higher than the others are still untapped. Here are four outcome flow. The increase of movement is existing potentials: (a) The potential of caused by the change of the function of agricultural land. The agricultural land in cross-border post, which is not only Entikong sub-district had not changed since traversed by traditional passer-by but it is 2009 to 2014, which had an area of 50 689 also traversed by non-traditional passer-by. hectares. Most of the agriculture land is dry [3] land farming which in 2014 reached This study examines the feasibility 88.79%, while the wetland was only 0.52%. of the economic potential existing in the Here is presented data on the use of land in border of Indonesia-Malaysia in Entikong, Entikong sub-district which is divided into which is expected to improve the public paddy fields, dry land and other land. The welfare, and enable an impact on the greatest use of land based on the agricultural national economy as a route of trade commodity in Entikong sub-district in 2014 between countries. The importance of was for rice fields and the next was for examining the feasibility of economic plantation crops such as pepper, cocoa and potential will clarify the position of rubber. Meanwhile, the productivity of Entikong as a strategic region, and to paddy rice was relatively small, which only determine the superior economic potential reached 4.2 tons / ha, so that their products that can support the trade between countries. were only used for their own purposes. [5] For commodities such as pepper, cocoa and METHODS AND MATERIALS rubber, the product share sold to out of The approach used in this study is Entikong sub-district as the part of the phenomenology qualitative with Existing income source of the residents in Entikong Models. A qualitative approach is used sub-district. The largest market share of because the data that will be collected is pepper and cocoa commodity is the Sarawak soft, the emphasis is on the descriptions of State of Malaysia. As for the market share people, places and conversations, and do not of the results of rubber commodity is emphasize the use of statistical procedures. partially Pontianak and Sarawak State of The location of this research is in the border Malaysia.

The Feasibility of Economic Potential for the Improvement of Public Welfare in Indonesia-Malaysia Border in Entikong agricultural land in Entikong sub-district located outside Entikong sub-district. For was caused by the support of irrigation the types of crops such as coconut, cocoa, facilities which was very simple and pepper, coffee and rubber are types of plants limited, which was only rain fed. Even that are widely grown and cultivated by technical irrigation½that already existed in people in Entikong sub-district; [5] and 2011; no longer existed in 2013, as well as (d)Fishery, the results of fishery in non PU irrigation also no longer existed, Entikong sub-district come from inland whereas simple irrigation increased. [5] aquaculture activities. It has not experienced Despite the provision of the irrigation of significant progress and improvement. The paddy fields in Entikong sub-district is still society is expected to continue to intensify very limited due to the natural condition efforts for fishery, given that the demand for which is hilly and has steep slopes, it is still fish in Entikong sub-district is quite high very possible to make rice cultivation up to and continues to increase from year to year. two (2) times or more within a period of one Currently, the demand for fish is imported year. [5] The use of the largest dry land and from Sarawak State of Malaysia, from in the temporary category is still being Sanggau Regency and Pontianak. Only a sought, and the next is in the form of very few needs of fish could be fulfilled by garden. Temporary category allows the dry the fishers in Entikong city itself, and even land to change at any time and the current it is only limited to the types of freshwater function is abandoned land. However dry fish only. [5] The other problem faced by land which was temporary cultivated farmers in Entikong sub-district is the decreased, while for the others uses constrain of the adequacy of the land, given increased; [5] (b) Livestock, livestock to photography of Entikong sub-district is owned by people in Entikong sub-district hilly and has steep slopes. There is only consists of cattle, goats and pigs. The type very little flat land that can be used for of livestock which owned by most of the aquaculture. The available flat land is society is goat. However, the number of already enabled for wetland and partly used goats is relatively fixed because it depends as residential land on the demand and the number of Forest Potential Most of Entikong consumers, while cattle and pigs increased; sub-district is a forest area which consists of while poultries which are maintained by the protected forest with the area of 23543.46 people in Entikong sub-district is the kind of hectares or 39.79%, production forests and chickens and ducks.
