  • Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia - Sarawak, Malaysia “Head to Head”
    Borderlands and Tourism Development in Kalimantan Island: Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia - Sarawak, Malaysia “Head to Head” Syaiful Muazir Department of Architecture, Tanjungpura University, Pontianak, Indonesia [email protected] Horng-Chang Hsieh Department of Urban Planning, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan [email protected] As part of the regions that share lands and boundaries, Sarawak-Malaysia and Kalimantan Barat- Indonesia have respective characteristics in the borderlands treatment. This paper aims to explore and compare the border areas between two nations, ranging from the borderlands profiles, (tourism) development and planning, and their opportunities. Besides, this paper also wants to highlight tourism development as one of the strategies. This paper uses documentary research to seek “text and context” by narratively describing and compiling the documents. From the discussion, it can be seen that both regions have different characteristics of conditions and problems. For tourism development, different approaches are also “colored” with timing, momentum, and priorities; as influenced and supported by the national plans. Tourism in the borderlands is the impetus in which each regions has already been aware of this potential because of the traction of informal flow, accessibility, supply, and demand. Furthermore, we argue that if tourism has exist at the first place, in the future, by its backward linkages, it will encourage more physical and economic development and cooperation between nations. Keywords: borderland, tourism development, Sarawak, Kalimantan Barat 1. INTRODUCTION diplomatic relationship. There is a concept of “blood-brothers” that can be tracked through Indonesia and Malaysia have a long historical ideology, history, commonalities of race, ethnicity, background of bilateral relations, as well as on the and cultural forms.

In the case of Nanga Jela, the Batang Ai resettlement and SALCRA oil palm plantation scheme have altered the livelihood strategies employed by the residents are changing. This study’s objective was to identify the livelihood strategies of Nanga Jela who are affected by the land scarcity, largely as a result of such development schemes. An interdisciplinary approach was applied in the study in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the issue using qualitative and quantitative methods for the data collection. We have interviewed selected respondents including participants from the longhouse and a SALCRA official to gain complete understanding of perspectives on these development schemes. We have also examined soil and water quality to further assess the impacts of land scarcity on livelihood potential. Through methodological triangulation, we have identified issues of land tenure and potential for adaptation to land constraints through the pursuit of off-farm income. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report is the product of the course “Interdisciplinary Land Use and Natural Resource Management (ILUNRM)” and is primarily based on data collected during a two week field study Nanga Jela in Sarawak, Malaysia.

According to Kapitan Tay, the shophouses were once situated at the foothill of this fort. They were then relocated to the current location due to the expansion of settlement and were constrained by the hill and the river. Kapitan Tay also shared a local myth about the origin of the name “Lubok Antu”. It was believed that the Ibans at Upper Batang Ai River used to have severe fights and resulted in many casualties.

The Begonia flora of Kalimantan is very poorly known, in marked contrast to that of Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak. Here we publish eleven new records and three new species (B. bawangensis Girm., Randi & M.Hughes, B. pendulina Girm. & M.Hughes and B. recurvata Girm. & M.Hughes, all in Begonia sect.

Begonia bawangensis, Begonia pendulina, Begonia recurvata, Borneo, endemism, limestone karst, taxonomy Introduction A total of eleven Begonia species have been confirmed as occurring in Kalimantan to date, based on specimen records in Hughes (2008) and Hughes et al. (2015, continuously updated), the recent publication of six species by Girmansyah & Susanti (2015), Girmansyah (2017) and Ardi et al. (2019), and a new record by Kiew et al. (2018). This contrasts with 241 species in the area comprising Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei, after intensive taxonomic work by Ruth Kiew, Julia Sang, Rimi Repin and collaborators (e.g.
