Judul: Competitiveness of Fish Landing Base in Sukabumi District (Case Study: At Fish Landing Base Cisolok And Ciwaru)
Abstrak: Banyak Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) yang tidak dapat berkembang dengan baik di Kabupaten Sukabumi karena tidak dapat mengoptimalkan daya saing. Daya saing berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan kinerja PPI agar dapat berkembang secara optimal sehingga layak melakukan persaingan dengan PPI lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi komponen daya saing di PPI Cisolok dan PPI Ciwaru dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis diamond porter kemudian menganalisis komponen keunggulan tersebut dengan menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda dan analisis korelasi bivariat. Hasil menunjukkan komponen keunggulan komparatif yang mempengaruhi daya saing PPI adalah ketersediaan ikan, kualitas ikan, harga ikan, jarak PPI, kompetensi pelaku ekonomi, performa aktivitas. Keunggulan komparatif yang mempengaruhi daya saing di PPI Cisolok adalah ketersediaan ikan dan performa aktivitas dan di PPI Ciwaru adalah ketersediaan ikan dan kualitas ikan., Many PPI cannot evolve properly in Sukabumi District because they cannot optimize competitiveness. Competitiveness contributes to improving the performance of PPI so it can develop optimally then it will be feasible to compete with other PPI. This study aims to identify the components of competitiveness in Cisolok PPI and Ciwaru PPI by using descriptive analysis and porter’s diamond analysis and analyzing the components of comparative advantage by using multiple linear regression analysis and bivariate correlation analysis. The result showed that the components of comparative advantages that affect PPI competitiveness are fish availability, fish quality, fish prices, PPI distance, competence of economic actors, activity performances. The comparative advantages that affect competitiveness at Cisolok PPI are fish availability and activity performance and at Ciwaru PPI are fish availability and fish quality.

Judul: Aktivitas Pendaratan dan Pemasaran Hasil Tangkapan di Pangkalan-Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan Kabupaten Ciamis
Abstrak: Marine fisheries activities at Ciamis Regency is supported by the fishing landing bases (PPI) spread out over 5 sub-district. Some of the activities in these PPI are landing and marketing of fish catches. Both of these activities require adequate facilities and careful handling because fish is a perishable commodity. The purpose of this research are to know the actual condition of the fishing ports, the activity of landing and marketing of fish catches in 5 locations of PPI at Ciamis Regency. This research used the survey method and descriptive data analysis. The results showed that fishing port facilities in 5 locations of PPI at Ciamis Regency is still very lacking. All of PPI at Ciamis Regency uses beach and estuary of the river as a place for landing of the fish catches. PPI Batu Karas has the most of number and volume of landing fish catches than the others. The fishes landed on all of PPI at Ciamis Regency are marketed through the fish-trading activity, except at PPI Pangandaran. The fishes are marketed for consumption of local communities around the PPI, inside and outside of the Ciamis Regency. Some types of fish that has high economic value such as shrimp, lobster and hairtails are exported to Japan, China and South Korea. NP/P ratio and relative value of production index gained PPI Kalipucang in 2010 is bigger than the others. This is because the fish were landed at this PPI are homogeneous, consisting only of lobster that has high economic value.
