Multi-Actor Collaboration in Improving the Economy of the Fishing Community in Karangantu Coastal Area of Serang, Indonesia

Abstract

The fishing community is a community that is strongly dependent on the sustainability of marine natural resources. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world and has a wealth of marine economic potential. Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City is located on Banten’s North Coast which has a fairly good marine potential and has a National Fishing Port (PPN) which is a type B fishing port in Banten Province. These advantages were why PPN Karangantu was appointed as a fisheries industrial area (formerly a minapolitan) for the catch fisheries subsector since 2010. However, facts show that this potential is still not well-managed and thus does not yet have a significant effect on improving the fishing community’s welfare. Until this article was written, poverty and the fishermen remains an unresolved issue. To resolve the problem there needs to be a collaboration between multiple actors: the government, the private sector, the public communities, and the fishing community should work together and encourage policies regarding the coastal community economic empowerment through the development of a mutually profitable fishermen group joint business endeavor which would have a significant effect on the people's welfare, especially the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City. The present study is a descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected in three ways: interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis for both primary and secondary data was conducted with the Nvivo 12 Pro software. The study results indicated potentials that could significantly improve the economy of the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City, especially in the fisheries and tourism sectors. However, this can only be realized if there is a collaboration between actors, including the central and regional government, business actors, environmental NGOs, and the fishing community.

“…Therefore, the control object in this study consists of socio-economic subsystems which are characterized by the heterogeneity of their development in each region. Maulana and Yulianti (2022), in examining the problems of fishing in the Karangantu coastal region in Serang (Indonesia), found that multi-stakeholder cooperation has a positive impact on the development of the industry. At the same time, the role of local authorities was defined as being among the most important.…”

District-level Collaboration for Improving Quality of Life of Older People in Thailand

“…The starting situation is a crucial determinant of the level of trust, conflict, and social capital available for collaboration. It is comprised of three subcomponents: imbalances in power, resources, and knowledge; the motivations of stakeholders to collaborate, which are dependent on their expectations for the partnership outcome; and the history of conflict or previous collaborations (Ansell & Gash, 2008;Emerson et al, 2011;Rubio-Valera et al, 2012;Ran & Qi, 2017;Morley & Cashell, 2017 al., 2012;Maulana & Yulianti, 2022). Leadership plays a vital role in guiding the collaborative process and promoting consensus.…”

Formulasi Kebijakan Pengembangan Pariwisata di Provinsi Banten

“…Dalam mengidentifikasi aktor yang terlibat dalam kebijakan pengembangan pariwisata di Provinsi Banten, maka perlu melakukan analisis aktor. Menurut Ondee dan Pannarunothai (Anderson, 2003;Bryson et al, 2011;Lawrence, 2017;Maulana & Yulianti, 2022;Ondee & Pannarunothai, 2008;Rafika et al, 2016;Yuningsih et al, 2019) analisis aktor adalah metode sistematis untuk mengumpulkan dan menganalisis sebuah data dari kepentingan aktor (individu, kelompok dan organisasi) dalam rangka mengidentifikasi aktor-aktor yang terlibat dalam kebijakan ini, baik aktor utama dalam sebuah sistem pengelolaan, menilai kepentingan dari beberapa aktor masing-masing (pertaruhan), serta memprediksi potensi yang berpengaruh pada formulasi kebijakan pegembangan pariwisata di Provinsi Banten. Sebab secara konseptual pariwisata adalah industri yang multidimensi dan lintas sektoral.…”
