Identifikasi dan Analisis Modal Sosial dalam Rangka Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Nelayan Desa Gangga Dua Kabupaten Minahas Utara
Summary
Masyarakat pesisir merupakan masyarakat yang identik dengan nelayan sebagai profesi utama dan sangat bergantung pada sumber daya laut. Pantai Pangandaran merupakan wilayah pesisir dan berbatasan dengan laut lepas, sehingga kawasan tersebut memiliki potensi di bidang perikanan yang cukup besar. Kesejahteraan nelayan di kawasan Pantai Pangandaran dinilai masih kurang, hal ini dapat dilihat dari kemampuan nelayan yang tingkat pemanfaatan kekayaan lautnya hanya 15% dari total potensi kekayaan laut yang ada (Nurdiansyah, 2015). Untuk mengurangi dampak dari masalah tersebut, pemanfaatan modal sosial yang ada pada masyarakat dapat dijadikan solusi untuk meningkatkan perekonomian nelayan. Pemanfaatan dan penguatan modal sosial yang ada pada masyarakat kawasan Pantai Pangandaran dapat dijadikan sebuah strategi untuk meningkatkan perekonomian nelayan di kawasan tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini akan mendiskripsikan gambaran modal sosial yang ada pada masyarakat nelayan dan bagaimana strategi memanfaatkan modal sosial yang ada tersebut untuk dapat meningkatkan perekonomian nelayan.
