Abstract

Most of the pictures of Indonesia^s coastal fishing villages are unfavorable. Inadequate infrastructure, poor sanitation, and limited access to education and healthcare often plague these areas. The development of modern fishing villages represents a strategic approach to improving the socio-economic well-being of coastal communities in Indonesia. This paper evaluates the site suitability and the key factors for successful implementation of social engineering strategies in modern fishing villages development, focusing on Samber-Binyeri Village in Papua, Indonesia. In this study, we selected several parameters for determine site suitability, specifically the number of fishers, land availability and status, potential fishery production, fishing and landing facilities and infrastructure, as well as institutional. We used prospective analysis for the mapping of key factors and its relationships. Our results showed that Samber-Binyeri village in Papua, Indonesia were suitable for the development of modern fishing villages based on the 5 (five) observed parameters. We identified 8 (eight) key factors which were divided into two categories, government controlled and government uncontrolled. Low human resource capacity, quality of fish, lack of business management knowledge, fleet availability, and underdeveloped institutional (cooperative) were the key factors for the development of modern fisheries village controlled by the government. Other key factors not controlled by the government were market availability, unstable fish prices and community welfare. Among the key factors observed, low human resource capacity is an important factor that needs to be considered in the development of modern fishing villages. This research has implications for policy makers, development planners, and stakeholders involved in the development of modern fishing villages in Indonesia.
