Indonesia's Connectography Analysis Using Big Data

The aim of this study is to analyze the connectography of Indonesia, developing from a Korean perspective, using big data. This analysis aims to understand the societal structure, evolving trends, and future direction of Indonesia, and further explore opportunities for mutual cooperation and developmental strategies between Korea and Indonesia. The methodology employed was based on big data, encompassing word cloud analysis, network analysis, and future signal prediction analysis. The results are as follows: Word Cloud Analysis; Indonesia's pursuit of economic growth within the Asian region revealed an emphasis on a presidential-centered politics. Network Analysis; Indonesia appears to be predominantly connected with other Asian countries, primarily in the economic domain. Keywords related to natural disasters and politics also demonstrated high connectivity. Future Signal Prediction Analysis; As Indonesia continues to emphasize its market entry as an Asian country, there's a need for strategies to build a more global connectography. While Indonesia and Korea have historically cooperated mostly in the economic sphere, future predictive signals indicated that Korean studies and the Korean Wave (Hallyu) emerged as weak signals. Therefore, there is a need to intensify mutual cooperation centered around Korean studies and Hallyu. Given the high potential for creative access nation in Indonesia, strategic missionary advancements through Hallyu content are essential. Based on the research, the following is suggested; Geographically situated around at the intersection of the dateline and the equator, Indonesia serves as a meeting point for both the Eastern and Western hemispheres and the Northern and Southern hemispheres. This has historically presented both strengths and weaknesses for the country. In the future, leveraging this locational advantage, Indonesia should aim to establish platforms capable of serving as hubs in logistics, transportation, culture, and tourism etc. Specifically, there's an urgent need to build a Hallyu platform with creative access nation capabilities, reinforcing its role in connectography as a pivotal missionary strategy point.
