The management of state borders between Indonesia and PNG holds potential problems in the form of differences in socio-economic conditions between the two countries. While socially and culturally, people in the two countries have close kinship ties. This paper intends to recommend an asymmetric policy for managing national border areas, especially between Merauke and PNG. The conclusion of this study is that the adoption of the ChinaVietnam border management model can be applied in the management of the Indonesia-PNG border. This adoption is accompanied by several strategies in the form of: acceleration of construction of facilities and infrastructure, strengthening the socio-economic conditions of border communities, human resource development and strengthening of good institutional aspects.

Although of course it has a negative impact on the country's economic structure, social issues and other sector. In implementing this lockdown, there is a need for cooperation between the government and the community as well as an agreement with neighboring countries in terms of the mobility of residents closest to each other's territory on exemptions in order to realize social welfare and public health without limiting the origin of the state, religion, community and profession. Especially in border areas where mobility and kinship ties have always been closer than in other regions. Keywords: Border area, lockdown policy, covid_19

This article investigates and identifies the involvement of stakeholders, analyzes internal and external factors that influence the planning of country border areas, and formulates strategies and programs for developing national border areas. This study used qualitative methods with IFE, EFE, IE and SWOT analysis. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, documentation study, literature study, and FGDs. The number of informants was 13 people who are competent and chosen deliberately. The results of this study indicate that the country border area is in a medium internal and external position, meaning that the border area of the country is in quadrant V, the strategy in quadrant V is to hold and maintain. Quadrant V indicates that the border area has developed and needs to be maintained. Therefore, the right grand strategies to be applied are market penetration and product development.Strategies and programs for developing country border areas with the Strengths-Opportunities strategies are mapping and polarization of tourist attractions, maximizing the types and diversity of tourism products in the border areas of the country, and evaluating cross-border festivals.

Main purpose of this research is to study influential variables of green innovation strategy, corporate social responsibility, government policy, transformation leadership including human resource development on the success level in managing sustainable environmentally friendly products of industrial plants. The sequential procedures on statistical techniques are proposed with the survey data on both quantitative and qualitative research elements. Confirmatory factor and path analysis including the structural equation modeling are mixed to identify the causal relationship between variables and the dependent variables. In this article, two metaheuristic algorithms namely sequential evolutionary elements based on variable neighborhood search and particle swarm optimization algorithms are proposed to enhance the sustainable environmentally friendly product management model. The results show that all performance measures of the particle swarm optimization algorithm are better, but not statistically significant when compared. Evolutionary elements from Metaheuristic approaches are the powerful tool for generating the management model and aiding the industries for decision making. The qualitative research was from the multistage sampling and in-depth interviews to finally provide guidelines for managing environmentally friendly products. From the numerical results all of proposed variables affected the success at a high level of opinions. The results of this research will be efficiently used to promote sustainable environmentally friendly products for the manufacturing in Thailand.

Border regions are expected to benefit from their position when it comes to tourism de­velopment. In this article, I propose a new approach to interpreting the connection between an area’s proximity to the national border and the development of tourism at the municipal level. The aim of this study is to identify the strengths and limitations of borderlands as re­gards the development of tourism in seven municipalities of Karelia. I examine summarised data available from online and other resources, as well as my own observations. Using medi­an values, I rely on the method of content analysis of strategic documents on the development of cross-border municipalities of Karelia. My research focuses on the tourism and recreation potential of borderlands and analyses the development of local tourism infrastructure. I de­scribe the major types of tourism, examine tourist flows, and consider the strategic aspects of tourism at the municipal level. I identify the strengths and limitations of the development of tourism in border areas by comparing the data on border and inland municipalities of Kare­lia and investigate the role of international border crossing points in the development of tou­rism in borderlands.

Border areas are categorized as disadvantaged areas due to various factors, such as locations that are relatively remote with difficult levels of accessibility, low levels of education and public health, relatively low levels of socioeconomic welfare, and limited facilities and infrastructure that cause disparities in the welfare of border communities.

On the other hand, borders are often a serious problem in relations between countries. One problem that often arises and seizes a lot of attention until now is the problem of regional boundaries. These problems are usually in line with the socio-economic community. Poverty and underdevelopment tend to be characteristic of communities at the border.
