Abstract
Indonesia's geographical situation as a maritime country has great potential in the economic, social, cultural, and transportation fields. In addition, all these potentials can also be the main capital to realize the community's welfare. Indonesia is an archipelago, and each region comes with different characteristics, ranging from natural conditions to socio-cultural conditions. The idea of the World Maritime Axis is implemented through Presidential Decree No. 16 of 2017 concerning the Indonesian Marine Policy. Indonesia's maritime policy covers very broad and complex aspects that are interrelated with each other. In this Presidential Decree, the Development of the Maritime Axis includes (1) building Indonesia's maritime culture; (2) protecting the sea and marine resources; (3) giving priority to the development of maritime infrastructure and connectivity by building sea highways, deep seaports, logistics, and shipping industry, and maritime tourism; (4) strengthening maritime diplomacy, cooperation in the maritime sector, eliminating sources of conflict at seas such as fishing theft, violation of sovereignty, territorial disputes, piracy, and marine pollution; and (5) building a maritime defence force. The five points above are maritime pillars discussed in general and basic research according to the 2022-2027 road map. A detailed and in-depth discussion will come in the following years' research according to the order of the maritime pillars.
