I am currently discussing with Dr. Ioannis Spilanis from University of the Aegean, Greece, about theoretical impact of island studies: How are islands connected with each other? I propose that 'island-connectedness' is also affected by ethnic issues -particularly in multi-ethnic Indonesia. Dr. Spilanis is currently considering this.

Island connectivity (factor comparison between Sebatik and Aegean Islands)
- 3. Geographical Distance to Core Cities Geographical Distance to Service Centers Population Size of Islands
- 5. ? Aegean Islanders are ethnically homogenous. ? Therefore, we can presume that island connectivity could be attributed to geographical factors. ? However, Indonesian islands are ethnically-complex and heterogeneous.
- 6. ? Sebatik Islanders have been known to be socially and economically- dependent to Tawau, Malaysia. ? Here, people still feel ethnic connections between Sebatik islanders and the Malays of Tawau ¨Cboth of them mostly are of Bugis ethnic descent. ? Therefore, I propose that ethnicity is also an important factor of island connectivity, particularly in ethnically- diverse islands.
