Abstract

Economically and ecologically, marine environment plays an important role in all aspects of our life. Throughout human existence, we have relied on the marine environment for food, recreational activities, economic opportunities, and so on. For that reason, it is vital to protect, sustain, and improve the coastal zone as an aquatic resources and a habitat for wildlife. Managing coastal zones require involvements from many different stakeholders; however, the integration of all knowledge types -- including local expertise and scientific knowledge -- with the policymaking is not without challenges. This paper looks at the resource based capability and knowledge-based capability perspectives in measuring the effectiveness of knowledge management in a rural coastal region, Southeast Maluku district. This research uses stepwise regression analysis method with 253 respondents. The results of this study indicate that resources based and knowledge based capabilities in this region are effective in supporting the application of knowledge capability management. However, the ability to obtain information and utilise information has not significantly impacted the development of knowledge capability management of fishery resources and marine in this region at the time of writing.

Highlights

Knowledge management practice has received growing attention in the costal communities; for example, in the Northern Cape (Mabudafhasi, 2002), Timor and the Arafura Sea (Stacey et al, 2015), Solomon Islands (Folke et al 2005), and Pacific regions (Harvey and Hilton, 2006)
This study uses two analytical tools in accordance with the objectives to be achieved, where the first was the Pearson correlation test to test the interrelations between independent variables and dependent variable with the aim to test the relationship between variables and the second was stepwise regression for analyzing the effect of resources based capability (RBC) that is culture knowledge, technology, organizational structure and knowledge-based capability (KBC) that is expertise capability, learning capability, information capability on knowledge capability
The six factors representing a knowledge-based capability and resource-based capability have a strong relationship with knowledge management capability in the region

Summary

Introduction

Knowledge management practice has received growing attention in the costal communities; for example, in the Northern Cape (Mabudafhasi, 2002), Timor and the Arafura Sea (Stacey et al, 2015), Solomon Islands (Folke et al 2005), and Pacific regions (Harvey and Hilton, 2006). This study aims to fill the research gap by examining the knowledge management practices in a rural Indonesian coastal region: the Southeast Maluku district. Given the significance of the marine environment to the rural coastal communities like the Southeast Maluku province, it is necessary to better utilise the scarce resources in a sustainable and efficient manner. This calls for a more thorough review of the current use of the marine environment, improve the current understanding of the coastal zone, and co-create a more sustainable way of undertaking marine-based activities
