Dampak Pengelolaan Migas Terhadap Perikanan Tangkap Skala Kecil di Sulawesi Barat

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to determine the effect of offshore oil and gas management on small-scale capture fisheries on Bala-balakang Island. This study was conducted for 3 months in Sendana Subdistrict as a concentration area of small-scale local fishermen conducting fishing operations in the waters of Bala-balakang Islands. The RAPFISH method were used for analyzing economic and social aspect. The purposive sampling and snowball methods were applied for data collection. The results showed that the fishermen's perception of income, the amount of fish catch since the existence of oil and gas management in the waters of Bala-Balakang Island tended to decline, while the parameters of the catch value and the cost of fishing tended to increase. The value of the catch went up due to the number of fish caught declining, however the benefit of the increase in the value of this catch is . On the social aspect, local fishermen are no longer able to meet their daily needs. Consequently, the fisheremen seek for the side jobs for instance providing transportation services. ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran pengaruh pengelolaan migas offshore terhadap perikanan tangkap skala kecil di Pulau Lere-lerekang. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama 3 bulan yang dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Sendana sebagai wilayah konsentrasi nelayan skala kecil yang melakukan operasi penangkapan di wilayah perairan Pula Bala-balakang.  Parameter yang diamati terdiri dari 2 aspek yaitu aspek ekonomi dan social dimana variabel yang digunakan pada kedua aspek tersebut mengacu pada metode RAPFISH dan dianalisa secara deskriptif. Pengambilan data mengacu pada metode purposive sampling dan snowball. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa persepsi nelayan terhadap pendapatan, jumlah hasil tangkapan semenjak adanya pengelolaan migas di wilayah perairan Pulau Bala-balakang cenderung menurun sedangkan parameter nilai hasil tangkapan dan biaya melaut cenderung meningkat. Peningkatan nilai hasil tangkapan disebabkan semakin sedikitnya jumlah hasil tangkapan yang dapat didaratkan oleh nelayan di lokasi penelitian, namun peningkatan nilai hasil tangkapan ini tidak dapat dirasakan manfaatnya karena tidak sebanding dengan jumlah hasil tangkapan yang diperoleh dan semakin tingginya biaya operasional yang disebabkan lokasi penangkapan yang semakin jauh. Pada aspek social sebagian besar nelayan menyatakan pekerjaan sebagai nelayan skala kecil yang melakukan operasi penangkapan ikan di wilayah perairan Pulau Bala-balakang sudah tidak mampu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari sehingga untuk mengatasi kondisi tersebut maka nelayan melakukan strategi adaptasi yaitu dengan mencari pekerjaan sampingan atau beralih menjadi penyedia jasa angkutan antar pula

Promoting Indigenous Agricultural Systems through Strategy Design to Restore the Popularity of Salak Lasape

Salak (Salacca zalacca) is a cultivated plant species with development areas spanning more than half of Indonesia's provinces. It is not surprising since salak is a tropical plant native to Indonesia, managed traditionally for generations as an indigenous agricultural system. Learning from experience, around the 1980s, the peak popularity of salak commodities in this area has succeeded in becoming a commodity as a regional icon of Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi, called salak lasape. Although salak lasape is better known for its distinctive aroma, the quantity of production in Pinrang Regency is declining. This research aims to find appropriate strategic programs in ensuring the availability of food, especially fruit, and to restore the popularity of salak lasape as a regional icon in South Sulawesi.  This research was conducted through an expert system approach. Data were obtained through resource persons from several institutions/agencies related to the development of horticultural commodities using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) analysis method.  The results show that of the 14 sub-elements analyzed, there are nine of them that can be set as strategic programs in restoring the popularity of salak lasape, namely: (1) increasing the commitment of government agencies, (2) developing the marketing sector, (3) rehabilitating/rejuvenating salak plantations, (4) developing processed household products, (5) increasing farmers' knowledge and skills, (6) increasing the role of extension/mentoring, (7) fostering farmer groups/local wisdom, (8) Effectivize the role of the Industry and Trade Office, and (9) increasing the role and responsibility of the Plantation Office. Among the nine programs, two are key programs, namely: increasing the commitment of government agencies and rehabilitating/rejuvenating salak plantations. The increased role of government agencies indicates that the implementation of strategic programs that are the research findings should be under the control of institutional strengthening of horticultural commodities

A Path Analysis of Sustaining Small Scale Fishing Industry in Indonesia

The over exploitation of the international fishing activities does affect the sustainability of the local small-scale fishing industry. The small scale fishing industry sectors especially economic, social, ecological, and governance in Indonesia has not been well managed. The objective of this paper is therefore to analyze the causal relationships between the four variables using a path analysis technique. The results of this analysis showed that the economic factor has the largest effect on the small-scale fisheries system. Future studies should emphasized more on the economic variable to sustain the local fishing industry in Indonesia

PENGEMBANGAN KELOMPOK USAHA MADU HUTAN DI DESA PAPPANDANGAN, POLEWALI MANDAR MELALUI PROGRAM KEMITRAAN MASYARAKAT

Desa Pappandangan Kecamatan Anreapi merupakan daerah yang sebagian besar penduduk laki-lakinya bekerja sebagai petani sawah maupun buah-buahan dan pencari madu hutan sedangkan penduduk perempuan sebagian besar merupakan ibu rumah tangga. Selama puluhan tahun, Desa Papandangan merupakan produsen madu hutan yang memproduksi madu hutan asli dan berkualitas. Umumnya produk madu hutan Desa Pappandangan dipasarkan secara curah menggunakan botol dan jerigen bekas tanpa melalui proses pengemasan dan pemasaran yang baik sehingga harga jual dan daya saing madu hutan produksi masyarakat di Desa Pappandangan ini cukup rendah. Tujuan dilakukanya Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah untuk memberikan bimbingan kepada masyarakat terutama untuk memberdayakan ibu-ibu rumah tangga sehingga dapat lebih memahami metode pengemasan yang lebih bersih serta pendampingan pemasaran produk madu hutan sehingga diharapkan dapat memberikan dampak ekonomi yang lebih baik terhadap masyarakat Desa Pappandangan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi, yaitu (1) kurangnya motivasi berwira usaha masyarakat; (2) kekurangan modal usaha; (3) tidak didukung informasi maupun sistem pemasaran yang baik; (4) pengemasan produk madu hutan sangat tidak higienis; (5) tidak adanya harga yg jelas untuk produk madu hutan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut maka Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) ini menawarkan beberapa kegiatan, yaitu (1) Pemberdayaan kaum perempuan dan ibu rumah tangga melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan proses pengemasan; (2) Memberikan pelatihan dan pendampingan mengenai konsep produksi yang baik, pemasaran moderen dan distribusi; (3) melakukan proses pendampingan mengenai kualitas produk dan inovasi; dan (4) pembuatan produk madu asli kemasan kemasan botol 250 ml
