摘要：AbstractTo develop and structure its areas, Indonesia under the national spatial plan has developed strategic areas. (National) strategic area is an area whose spatial arrangement is one of the priorities of the national interests. This paper is an exploration of the interactions and networks existing between two existing models of strategic areas in Sambas regency: Sambas district and Temajuk village. Besides, this paper also raises a concept “adaptive” which can developed from the existing networks’ characters. This study used network analysis approach and the exploration of “adaptive” concept. From both explorations, it is known that strategic areas tend to be oriented inside its own area and only spread to other near advanced areas/cities. This makes the relationship between the areas tend to be imbalanced. To develop a balanced/appropriate interaction, adaptive concept can be applied by strengthening the database, doing benefit-cost-risk analysis, identifying potential conflicts, making priorities, scenarios and corrective actions, as well as involving public.
