Pemberdayaan dan Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pengelolaan Ekosistem Mangrove: Strategi Regenerasi Lingkungan di Desa Bedono, Demak

The abrasion and tidal disasters had the impact of reducing the area of Bedono Village, both administratively and functionally. Environmental regeneration through mangrove ecosystem management that focuses on community participation and empowerment is a solution to overcome these impacts. However, low participation, the existence of people who are less empowered, and a lack of understanding of the importance of mangroves are problems raised in this research. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between empowerment and participation of coastal communities in managing mangrove ecosystems as an environmental regeneration effort in Bedono Village, Demak Regency. This research method is a mixed method using quantitative and qualitative approaches and carried out 4 stages of analysis, including quantitative descriptive analysis, scoring and weighting, Spearman Rank correlation, and qualitative descriptive analysis. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between mangrove ecosystem management, the level of empowerment, and forms of community participation. The mangrove ecosystem in Bedono Village has an ecological function (resisting abrasion and tidal erosion), a socio-economic function (development of MSMEs and creating employment opportunities), as well as a socio-cultural function (ecotourism). The community also has a level of empowerment in the "sufficient" criteria and the form of community participation that dominates is contractual participation at 77%. So, efforts to regenerate the environment through mangrove ecosystem management will work well if the community is empowered and has control over managing the mangrove ecosystem.

Strategy for Implementing the Blue Economy Concept for Community Empowerment in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

Indonesia has around 17,500 islands spread throughout the archipelago and a coastline that stretches for 81,000 km, more than half of Indonesia's total area is sea and water. This geographical condition makes Indonesia a country that has rich marine resources. However, challenges such as illegal fishing and lack of empowerment of coastal communities threaten the sustainability of the fisheries sector. Implementing the Blue Economy concept is the key to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a literature study, this article investigates strategies for implementing the Blue Economy in empowering communities in Indonesia to achieve the SDGs, especially goal 14: Life Below Water. Strategic steps are needed such as increasing supervision, developing technology and building infrastructure to improve community welfare and maintain the sustainability of marine resources. With great potential in the aquaculture sector, Indonesia can realize the vision of sustainable development through collaboration between various parties and the application of innovative and sustainable Blue Economy principles.

Analisis Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Masyarakat Pesisir di Desa Perlis Kecamatan Brandan Barat Kabupaten Langkat

Empowerment is a process of being empowered, having the strength, ability and energy to master something. As a process, empowerment is the first step for people who are powerless to become empowered where people can have strength, ability and master something that can empower their lives, both personally, in their families and in society. Empowerment of coastal communities is expected to be more empowering and improve welfare. In order to improve the community's economy and improve the Human Resources (HR) of fishing communities, of course empowerment programs must exist and be implemented to reach the fishing communities. This research aims to analyze the economic empowerment of coastal communities in Perlis Village, West Brandan District, Langkat Regency with an Enabling, Empowering and Protecting approach. The research method used is qualitative. The results of this research are that Perlis Village, with the majority working as fishermen, has potential, namely processed products from the sea in the form of sea salt, shrimp paste (belacan), and salted fish. The proceeds from sales of these products can help society improve welfare. Furthermore, fishermen who used to work in the sea looking for fish now concentrate on cultivating mud crabs and overseeing ecotourism, although there is still mangrove tourism in the area. These potentials still need to continue to be developed with the empowerment program implemented by the Perlis Village government. Regional government has four roles in community empowerment. First, the role of government regulators is to set rules to balance development implementation. Second, the government functions as a dynamist by encouraging the participation of various parties when the development process stops (encouraging and maintaining the dynamics of regional development). Third, the government functions as a facilitator by creating conducive conditions for the implementation of development (bridging the interests of various parties in optimizing regional development). Fourth, the government functions as a catalyst by encouraging the participation of various parties when the development process is stagnant.
