Abstract

Friedrich Ratzel says, "Life is a struggle for grabbing space, where all nations must have a conception of space that contains the idea of the bounds of a region". This statement is reminiscent of humans; the higher the population the less space is available the more open the possibility of conflict of annexation. Activity of human today-on the surface of the ground-will always limited by activity of the other human beings on their land. On the ground where human creates a boundary marker along with the rules to follow and only within the specified border of human breeding and earning a living without edge disturbed as well as disturbing other people. Must not violate or took something from the region has a boundary marker, because it would lead to conflict. Since the emergence of that border problems, human need concepts and theories about it. The border in a simply give the meaning as a symbol of privacy and control over a territory. The border must be maintained, updated and disseminated primarily to future generations to remain eternal. The border has two attribute all at once, fixed and dynamic. The border is dynamic if still available room for change, but can also be fixed if it is limited by the other party. In order to maintain the border there is has been war and in order to achieve peace the border has been changed. Boundary is just an inanimate object that was changed at the will of human. The border is a manifestation of the human will to clarify the powers and identity to their society
