The second reflects what you are doing on the ground - creating an infrastructure so as to build up your control of a colony. SOI is how acceptable this is to the other major powers. If you are seen to trampling where you shouldn't be there will much tutting and shaking of heads in the Chancellories of Europe at your ill mannered actions.
SOI goes up slowly as a consensus builds that you are now allowed to be where you are - remember you need to get SOI positive before you gain VPs for your colony (before that its a negative relationship) - so in the main only go outside your SOI for strategic reasons such as to grab key resources or for naval bases.
