The results explain geographically Jagoi Babang border region bordered directly with Sarawak state of Malaysia. Historically the social relations of the two citizens are more emotionally tied up in the relationship of kinship in the form of marital blood relationships. This relationship is cemented by the symbiotic relationship of mutualism through the bonding of trade networks between the two countries. Although the social interaction of citizens is closer to Malaysians, but the attitude of nationalism as a nation of Indonesia is still embedded in heart and there is no desire to move Malaysian citizenship.
