Abstract

Background. Coastal vulnerability driven by climate change, sea-level rise, urban expansion, and maritime security threats necessitates shifting conventional defense systems toward adaptive, intelligent infrastructures. Purpose. This research examines the socio-technological transformation of the Giant Sea Wall as a dual-use infrastructure that integrates maritime security functions with community resilience strategies. Method. Using a qualitative case study design and a socio-technical systems perspective, this study analyzed scientific literature, policy documents, infrastructure reports, and stakeholder assessments. Results. Smart technologies including AI, IoT monitoring, and digital sensing enhance adaptive coastal defense. Beyond physical protection, the Giant Sea Wall effectively supports maritime surveillance, disaster risk reduction, and community-based resilience. Conclusion. Future coastal defense requires an integrated framework connecting technological innovation, institutional governance, and social participation, framing infrastructure as a dynamic socio-technological ecosystem to address climate and security challenges.

Abstract

Background. Defense diplomacy is an essential non-coercive instrument for strengthening international cooperation, building military capabilities, and supporting strategic interests. The growing complexity of regional security environments demands more systematic evaluation frameworks through the integration of information systems. Purpose. This study evaluates defense diplomacy policies from an information systems perspective, using Timor-Leste cadet education as a case study in supporting the strategic interests of the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL). Method. The research adopted a qualitative case study design using document analysis, strategic policy reviews, and stakeholder assessments to analyze the relationships between military education cooperation, information management, and defense diplomacy effectiveness. Results. Information systems improve evaluation by enabling structured tracking of cadet development, institutional cooperation, strategic relationships, and maritime security relevance. The cadet program serves as a strategic platform for trust-building, professional networking, and regional defense cooperation. Conclusion. Integrating information systems into defense diplomacy evaluation establishes a comprehensive framework for evidence-based policymaking, enhancing the long-term sustainability of international military cooperation.
