Communication Studies Program Universitas Islam Indonesia Abstract This research was conducted to explain the presentation of the boundary meanings presented by Batas film through their character. The border becomes the front face of a country. The social conditions of people who are still lagging behind and far from infrastructure development make the people living in the border vulnerable to various problems. As a message delivery medium, meanings are represented by character in film. The author analyzed five scenes on each character in Batas film. These are, Ubuh’s character is threatened by the bad people who chase her in the middle of the forest, Arif’s character as a police officer who looking for the information in the community, Jaleswari’s character who cares about education problems at the border, Adeus’s character who has great desire for the advancement of the people at the border but get threats from individuals who do not want the people on the border to get a high education, the character of the Panglima who has power in the Dayak tribe community. This study uses a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach. The process describes the meaning of signs into denotations, connotations, and myths. The results of this study indicate that meanings are defined as areas that have complex problems. Access to transnational crime is still very easy as security is needed in the area. Despite the increase in technology and technology, the region must have the slightest education, strive to advance the regions, without prioritizing their own interests without ignoring the cultural values ​​of their ancestors. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menjelaskan reperesentasi makna batas yang dihadirkan oleh pembuat film Batas melalui karakter tokohnya. Perbatasan menjadi wajah terdepan dari suatu negara. Keadaaan sosial masyarakat yang masih tertinggal dan jauh dari pembangunan infrastruktur, membuat masyarakat suku Dayak yang tinggal di pedalaman rentan terhadap berbagai permasalahan. Sebagai medium penyampai pesan, film ini penting dikaji untuk menjelaskan bagaimana makna batas direpresentasikan 37 INFORMASI Volume 49. Nomor 1. Juni 2019 melalui masing-masing karakter. Peneliti melakukan analisis terhadap lima scene pada masing-masing karakter dalam film Batas. Kelima scene tersebut adalah, karakter Ubuh yang terancam dengan adanya orang-orang jahat yang mengejar di tengah hutan, karakter Arif sebagai aparat penegak hukum yang mencari informasi di tengah masyarakat, karakter Jaleswari yang peduli terhadap masalah pendidikan yang terjadi di perbatasan, karakter Adeus yang memiliki keinginan besar demi kemajuan masyarakat di perbatasan namun mendapatkan ancaman dari oknum yang tidak ingin masyarakat di perbatasan mendapatkan pendidikan yang tinggi, karakter Panglima yang memiliki kuasa di masyarakat suku Dayak. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kritis dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Proses analisis yang dilakukan adalah semiotika model Roland Barthes yang menjabarkan makna tanda menjadi denotasi, konotasi, dan mitos.

Since becoming a sovereign state 61 years ago, Indonesia is still facing a series of territorial border problems. Up until today, Indonesia has reached agreements with its neighbouring countries related to demarcation and state border delineation. However, the lack of an unequivocal authority for border management has left serious implications for the state’s sovereignty and its citizen’s security. The Indonesian border of today, is still having to deal with border crime, which includes the violation of the territorial border, smuggling and terrorist infiltration, illegal fishing, illegal logging and Human Rights violations. These kinds of violations have also made a serious impact on the state’s sovereignty and citizen’s security. As of today, Indonesia still has an ‘un-settled’ sea territory, with regard to the rights of sovereignty (Additional Zone, Economic Exclusive Zone, and continent plate). This frequently provokes conflict between the authorised sea-territory officer on patrol and foreign ships or fishermen from neighbouring countries. One of the principal border problems is the Sipadan-Ligitan dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia, which started in 1969.

  • Urgency of Boundary Maritime Management, Strategies Prevent Conflicts
    Indonesian Journal of International Law (2017), Vol. 15 No. 1, pp. 29-46 http://dx.doi.org/10.17304/ijil.vol15.1.740 URGENCY OF BOUNDARY MARITIME MANAGEMENT, STRATEGIES PREVENT CONFLICTS Josina Augustina Yvonne Wattimena* * Faculty of Law, Pattimura University Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The boundary of maritime between countries is a very important issue for coastal States as well as archipelagic countries such as Indonesia. Indonesia is adjacent to the sea with ten neighboring countries. Until now, Indonesia has not completely resolved the sea border issues with neighboring countries. This is due to the determination of the sea boundary is not easy, very closely with various considerations such as; Political, legal, strategic, historical, economic, environmental, geographical, geological and geomorphological. With the enactment of the 1982 Sea Law Convention as a new constitution for the regulation of the law of the sea, consequently Indonesian as an archipelago country undergoes many changes that directly or indirectly affect the determination of the territorial sea border, exclusive economic zone as well as the continental shelf with neighboring countries. However, the establishment of Indonesia›s maritime boundaries with neighboring countries should be speeded up in its settlement. The basis of the argument is that the frequent border conflicts do not seem to be very potential to threaten the principle of good neighborly life as it is acknowledged in international law. Therefore, government functions can be maximized through integrated marine management. The integration of the management undertaken will clarify and reinforce the certainty and jurisdiction of Indonesia. Given this certainty and jurisdiction it is of great advantage to dimentially access and manage biodiversity sources of marine biological mnnon.
