Abstract

Background: Central Buton Regency has significant coastal and marine potential to support the development of lobster aquaculture using floating net cages (KJA). Favorable oceanographic conditions and available coastal space provides strong opportunities for expanding this high-value fisheries sector. However, large-scale development faces sustainability challenges, particularly related to feed supply and ecosystem management.Aims: This paper aims to assess the feasibility and development direction of lobster aquaculture in Central Buton Regency. The scope covers environmental suitability, initial production conditions, planned expansion to 500 floating net cages, and sustainable feed management strategies based on local resources.Methods: Field surveys were conducted on 12–14 December 2025 to observe farming locations and engage with lobster farmers. This was followed by a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on 15 December 2025 involving village leaders, farmers, relevant stakeholders, and three invited experts to discuss the industry ecosystems, local farming techniques, and integrated feed management.Results: The results indicate that current feed demand can still be met using natural feed sources such as trash fish and shellfish. However, under the projected expansion to 500 floating net cages, daily feed requirements are estimated at approximately 5.5 tons for wet feed or 1.5 tons for pellet feed.Conclusion: Lobster aquaculture development in Central Buton Regency is technically feasible but requires integrated feed management planning. The development of shellfish farming and locally produced pellet feed is essential to ensure sustainability, reduce dependence on wild resources, and enhance long-term competitiveness. As a follow-up, this program encourages the establishment of a sustainable mentoring model for farmers in feed management and strengthening their data-based production capacity.

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered a key method for reducing transportation emissions, improving city air quality, and supporting sustainable travel. Although global EV sales have grown rapidly, the adoption rates differ by region. Many countries still face significant challenges in getting more people to use electric EVs. This study examines research on what affects people’s decisions to buy EVs. It uses a method to group the findings into six main areas: economic and financial, technological, behavioral and psychological, infrastructure and policy, socio-demographic, and market and industry factors. The study shows that economic factors, such as the price and total cost of owning an EV, are important for buyers. Technological factors such as battery range, charging time, and reliability also affect consumer trust. However, other factors such as how useful and easy to use people think EVs are, their environmental values, social influence, and what they know about EVs also matter. Policies and charging infrastructure are crucial, especially when they provide long-term support and reduce uncertainty. Industry factors, such as brand trust and aftersales service, help reduce perceived risks. Overall, the study suggests that to increase EV use, strategies need to be coordinated and specific to each area of focus. They should address costs, technology, trust, awareness, and everyday use, especially where EV adoption is low.
