Transnational Concept in the Spatial Landscape; Port Cities Transnational Transportation Networks in Singapore and Batam

Abstract

Transnational orientation is extremely essential, particularly in how people perceive the transnational world and the social distance between countries and regions. The term "transnational" can also refer to social networks that exist between communities and countries. This research examines the connection of the two countries' relationship, which is constrained by sea crossings, to see if there is a transnational understanding between them. This study proposes to conduct a transnational inventory between the two countries of Indonesia and Singapore, namely between Singapore and Batam, using quantitative and qualitative approaches as a multidisciplinary study. Furthermore, the two countries with a transnational background share border closeness.
