potential and prospective area to be used
as an economic development area (KPE).
The delineation of the PALSA area to be
used as an economic development area is
quite original, considering that Temajok has
links with Telok Melano (Sarawak) and Aruk
has links with Biawak (Sarawak). 4) The
strategic external environment of Telok
Melano-Biawak in the perspective of
realizing the Temajok-Aruk KPE, needs to
be supported by increasing the
development of socio-economic
infrastructure and facilities as well as
appropriate economic empowerment
programs and policies. 5) Actually, at this
time there have been many economic
empowerment programs that have been
carried out by the government, educational
institutions and the business world (both
BUMN/BUMD and BUMS). However, a
synergy of economic empowerment
programs is needed in managing the
various potentials of existing natural
resources so that it has an impact on
improving the welfare of the people of the
Indonesia-Malaysia land border area in
West Kalimantan. 6) Some of the proposed
programs that are synergistic with the
economic empowerment program include:
a) Entrepreneurship program for
prospective new entrepreneurs; b) Business
incubator establishment program in each
university; c) Village incubator program
based on village superior products; d)
Business development service program
(village/sub-district); e) BUMdesa
program based on village innovation and f)
Leverage program: MSME big house
tourism.
