Model Implementation of Infrastructures Development Policy for Backward Community Empowerment at the Border Area in the District of Malinau, North Kalimantan

Abstract

The causing factors of the underdevelopment of the border area are their geographical locations that are relatively remote from the center of economic growth. The other factor is lack of competent human resources so that they could not be able to manage the available potential natural resources. Therefore, one of the policies which should be immediately implemented is the policy on the development of infrastructures in every aspect in order to open the isolation and give chances for the border area to build interaction with the center of economic growth outside the region.
