Abstract

Indonesia’s sea territory is particularly important in uniting the country, as the sea is a medium for interconnectivity; a medium for national integrity; a medium for resources; a medium for diplomacy; and a medium for national defense and security. This paper will focus on the sea’s significance to Indonesia’s national unity in its role as a medium for interconnecting the country’s many islands, and the implications thereof to Indonesia’s national security and defense. This paper will within this context discuss in particular the reclamation of Jakarta’s north coast. This research applies a normative empirical methodology, and intends to provide a scientific basis for the argument that as Jakarta’s coastline is crucial in terms of national defense and security matters, the coastline should therefore be managed by a state agency and remain publicly accessible.

Bahasa Abstract

Wilayah laut Indonesia sangat penting untuk menyatukan negara, hal ini mengingat laut sebagai perantara interkonektivitas, medium kesatuan nasional, medium untuk sumber daya, medium untuk diplomasi, dan medium untuk pertahanan dan keamanan nasional. Tulisan ini akan berfokus pada pentingnya laut terhadap kesatuan nasional Indonesia, sebagai medium untuk menghubungkan kepulauan diseluruh Indonesia, dan dampak laut terhadap pertahanan dan keamanan nasional. Tulisan ini dalam konteksnya akan membahas secara khusus reklamasi pantai utara Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif-empiris, dan bertujuan untuk memberikan dasar argumentasi ilmiah bahwa garis pantai Jakarta penting untuk pertahanan dan keamanan nasional, sehingga pengelolaan pesisir harus dikelola oleh lembaga negara dan dapat tetap diakses oleh publik.
