“…The complexity of these issues in fact pushes the government of Indonesia to take very long considerations. The slow respon from the government of Indonesia to manage the border conflict might also because it still put the border conflict issue as not an agenda priority for policy action, while historical, political, social and cultural facts, especially customary law/oath issue raised by border society members are not so powerful to convince it to act (Kase and Tamunu, 2018). An important factor that needs to be considered by the government of Indonesia is the acknowledgement of district government of Kupang and North Middle Timor, customary figures and society prominent figures regarding the existence of customary law/oath of border society members of the two countries.…”

“…In reality, in its foreign relationship with Indonesia, it experiences border conflict especially between Oecusse District and Kupang District and North Middle Timor District. Border conflict between these districts are located in villages including: (1) Kase and Tamunu, 2018). Although the governments of Indonesia and Timor Leste have conducted a number of policy decisions and actions to manage the border conflict such as the determination of neutral/sterile zone in 2005, law enforcement of Treaty and Agreement 1904 made by Duth and Portuguese, empowerment of border community members, and territorial pacification and building, their effectiveness are still questioned because border community members from Indonesian side consider that those policy decisions and actions are incompatible with their aspiration (Kase and Tamunu, 2018).…”

Although the government of Indonesia and Timor Leste have conducted a number of policy decisions and actions to manage border conflict between Indonesia and Oecusse District, Timor Leste, the conflict remains unresolved and has the potential to continue. This study examines the influence of government policy on the management of border conflict between the two countries. Data obtained from questionnaires were analysed statistically descriptive, and through Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The findings show that Indonesian government policy decisions and actions are slightly slow and less equal in acting on managing the border conflict, and less clear in implementing border line regulation between the two countries, but has high ability to prevent the conflict escalation. Customary figures who live in the border conflict region highly agree with and suggest to the government of both sides the use of customary law/oath as policy alternative in managing the conflict but the suggestion remains less responded well. This study also reveals that Indonesian government policy positively and moderately correlates, however, its influence on management of the border conflict is 33.5%. The government of Indonesia needs to improve its policy decisions and actions to manage the border conflict so that can prevent well the potential of the conflict continuation.

“…The works of A. Manakov are devoted to studying the sociocultural influence of neighboring countries on the life of the population of the frontier zones in northwestern Russia [2]. Among foreign scholars topics related to the analysis of transfrontier migrations [3] - [4], cross-border conflictology [5] and the influence of borders on population settlement pattern are most prominent [6]. There are very few geography works studying the population on both sides of the border.…”

As a result of the USSR collapse new state borders emerged and cut through the previously uniform space of the country. The emergence of these new borders gives scholars a chance to track their influence on social and economic space on an example of population settlement pattern dynamics. The interfaced analysis of the settlement pattern on both sides of the state border is of special interest. The uniform geographical database of the population censuses on the territory of the Orenburg region and the three bordering Kazakhstan regions (the West Kazakhstan, Aktyubinsk and Kostanay) has formed the information base of the research. The population settlement pattern indicators of the region and the frontier zone were compared during the analysis. The geoinformation technologies, in particular the analysis tool of «hot» and «cold» points of the population settlements dynamics were used. As a result of the analysis similarity in the settlement pattern dynamics in the frontier zones and on the territory of the region was revealed. The study hypothesized that the advancing outflow of the population from the frontier zone as a result of the barrier function of the «new» state border and the «skeletization» of the settlement pattern is to the result of the deterioration in the conditions of economic activity and the difficulty of social contacts. This hypothesis did not find confirmation as the settlement zones with positive and negative dynamics proved to be transfrontier and symmetric in regard to the border. The opportuneness degree of natural and social-economic conditions of the territory plays a significant role in the settlement pattern dynamics nature.
