Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify government strategies for developing mangrove ecotourism in Pomako, Mimika Regency, Papua Province, Indonesia, and determine priority strategies for sustainable ecotourism development based on strategic factor analysis. Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive design was used, with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using SWOT through IFAS and EFAS matrices involving purposively selected tourism staff and local community respondents. Results: The IFAS strength score was 4.489, and the weakness score was -1.785, yielding a net internal score of 2.703. The EFAS opportunity score was 4.606, and the threat score was -1.982, yielding a net external score of 2.624. The Cartesian coordinates (2.703; 2.624) position the site firmly in Quadrant I, corresponding to the SO (Strength-Opportunity) strategy, an aggressive growth orientation. Conclusions: Pomako's mangrove ecotourism possesses the internal assets and external conditions necessary to pursue an aggressive growth strategy. An integrated approach combining infrastructure investment, evidence-based marketing, and institutional strengthening is essential to sustain growth, protect ecosystems and maximize community welfare benefits. Limitations: This study has several limitations, including its focus on a single ecotourism site, which limits the generalizability of the findings to other contexts and locations. Additionally, the small purposive sample and cross-sectional nature of the study restrict the ability to draw statistical inferences and account for changes in the strategic landscape over time. Contributions: This study offers valuable insights into the strategic development of mangrove ecotourism in Pomako, Mimika Regency, Papua, by identifying key factors influencing growth through SWOT analysis.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the internal and external conditions affecting fisheries micro, small, and medium enterprises in Mamberamo Hilir District and formulates development strategies using Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)analysis. Methodology: A descriptive qualitative case study design was applied, drawing on in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation with twenty informants comprising local officials, fishers, fish traders, and consumers, analyzed through a four-stage qualitative SWOT procedure covering factor identification, narrative interpretation, relational mapping, and strategy formulation. Result: The district possesses strong fisheries potential supported by strategic coastal resources and fishing experience, but development is constrained by limited infrastructure, capital, and marketing, despite opportunities from digital technology, market demand, and government support. Conclusions: Fisheries enterprises meaningfully sustain fishing households and generate a measurable local multiplier effect, though this contribution remains below its potential. Limitations: The case study and purposive sample limit generalizability. The study provides a locally grounded framework integrating SWOT analysis with Local Economic Development indicators. Contributions: The study proposes a locally grounded strategy framework linking SWOT to Local Economic Development indicators for an eastern Indonesian fishing community.
