Abstract

This paper analyses the failure of social policy implementation for rural coastal communities. We focus on the comparison of two social policies for fishermen communities. This research was carried out in rural coastal areas in Natuna and Bintan, Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. We used a qualitative approach to explore both the content and the context of the policies. A series of participants were approached through an in-depth interview. This study shows that the stressing on the policy content has ignored the policy context, causing policy failure. Theoretically, this research adds to the body of literature on policy implementation by offering a comparative case study. In the process of implementing public policy, we practically suggest to the government to provide special attention to the context of where the policy is implemented to minimize the policy failure.

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with thousands of islands surrounded by 81,000 Km of coastline, 5.8 million Km2 sea area, and 2.78 million Km2 exclusive economic zones. Indonesia has a number of marine resources with a thousand fishermen, depending on the marine sector. Based on the modes of production, fisheries are divided into two categories, namely capture and aquaculture fisheries, with an annual sustainable production of fisheries, around 67 million tons a year. From this number, the potential for sustainable production of marine capture fisheries is 9.3 million tons per year, and capture fisheries of inland areas (lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and swamps) amount to 0.9 million tons making total capture fisheries 10.2 million tons per year. In 2016, Indonesian fish production was around 185.2 tons of fish, with IDR 3.1 million of production value [2] generated by approximately 1.6 million fishermen
