MODEL OF NATIONAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE OUTER ISLANDS FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE: A CASE STUDY OF MIANGAS ISLAND

Miangas Island is the outer island in North Sulawesi, bordering the Philippines. The history of the name Miangas comes from the word "to weep", which can be traced back to the attack by pirates from Sulu that took place on this island. Therefore, weeping has always colored the lives of the natives at that time. Moreover, it is still susceptible to infiltration today. Apart from this, the geographical location is quite far from the district capital and the weather influences the scarcity of basic goods. Efforts have been made to develop infrastructure, but infrastructure development is not in balance with human resources and infrastructure, resulting in an inefficient process. This condition has an impact on the high level of dependence on the Philippines, for example in the areas of education, health and the economy. So if this is allowed to continue, the distrust of the people of Miangas towards the government may grow. Moreover, cases of Sipadan Ligitan may be repeated. Therefore, the national resources in Miangas Island must be properly managed so that they can improve the welfare of the community. It can also be used for national defense to maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This research aims to find a model for the management of resources on the outer islands that is limited to human resources, natural resources and artificial resources. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study, observation and literature approach. The research results show the latest model for the management of resources on the outer islands, namely universal regional resilience. Therefore, regulations are needed to help synchronize the management of defense and development areas to create space, tools and tough combat conditions.
