Judul: Kemiskinan Dan Strategi Adaptasi Nelayan Di Pulau Sebuku, Kabupaten Kotabaru, Kalimantan Selatan
Abstrak: Fishers living condition including the poverty that occurred in the fishing communities on small islands not yet widely available. Therefore this study is very important. The objective of this study research are 1) what was the level of poverty in the fishers on the island of Sebuku; 2) how about adaptation strategies undertaken by the fishers residing on the island of Sebuku; 3) what are the factors that influence the level of poverty and adaptation strategies of fishers on the island of Sebuku; 4) what is the attitude of fishers towards regional autonomy policy, the entry of mining companies and climatic conditions on the island of Sebuku. This research was conducted with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Correlations is using rank spearman. Location of the study were purposively selected, Rampa Village and Sekapung Village. Sampling using simple random sampling technique. Based on field research, both in the Rampa Village and Sekapung Village, there were nothing included in the category of very poor and poor households based on criteria of BLT (Bantuan Langsung Tunai), while the relative poverty of poor households was used the criteria of the agreement from Rampa Village and Sekapung Village community. Fishers do various adaptation strategies, especially when a bad season. The majority of respondents have a negative attitude toward the policy of regional autonomy and the companies comers on the Sebuku Island. The result showed a positive correlation between the experience of going to sea with attitudes toward climate conditions (r=0.81) and levels of education with an attitude against the companies comers (r=0.30), but there was a negative correlation between the income level attitudes towards the companies comers (r=0.67) and the experience of going to sea with the attitude towards the companies comers (r=0.23). Other variables have no correlation.

Judul: Matchmaking Projects with Communities: Analysing whether Livelihood Improvement Initiatives Meet the Needs and Constraints of Poor Fishers in West Sumatra
Abstrak: Despite a fast growing economy, many Indonesians still live in poverty or are vulnerable to falling into poverty. Fishing is an economic sector closely associated with poverty and there has been a range of initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods and reducing poverty amongst poor fishers. Concerns remain that these initiatives have failed to target the right people in the right way. In response to this concern, this research based in the province of West Sumatra uses interviews in 25 fishing communities, coupled with secondary data, to evaluate; 1) the sectors of the fishing industry that the poor operate in and what the relationship is between poverty and fishing, 2) the factors that enable or constrain their livelihoods and 3) whether livelihood improvement programs address these factors. The analysis highlights that poor fishers are growing in number and are mainly labourers, small boat owners and small-scale processors/traders. Poverty in fishing is not significantly correlated with fishing dependency but is significantly correlated with poverty in the agricultural sector. Fishing is a poor economic sector, but incidences of poverty are less when other economic sectors, for example the service and financial sector, are strong. Thirty one enabling and constraining factors were identified and grouped according to six asset categories. Interviews with 151 households from a variety of backgrounds in two fishing communities were analysed using multi-dimensional scaling. Vessel owners possess higher physical, financial and human capital than crew members but that there was no difference in the natural, social and institutional fields. Institutional support across all sectors scored poorly. Government programs tend to bridge the gap between crew members and owners by providing physical capital without necessarily addressing the underlying financial and human capital limitations that labourers face. The research concludes with an explanation of the main routes out of poverty for a poor fisher and recommendations and how future livelihood improvement programs can better address the needs and constraints of the poor.
