Abstract

Farmers in the border areas often face challenges due to a lack of facilities and sufficient infrastructure. As a nation that shares borders with several countries, the Indonesian government aims to facilitate economic growth in these areas. One viable approach to achieve this objective is through the effective allocation of village funds. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors influencing the empowerment of farmers in the Indonesia-Timor Leste border using village funds. Data were collected using a survey method from 325 household heads, who served as respondents. The collected data were analyzed using the Structure Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that human, social and physical capital owned by farmers on the Indonesia-Timor Leste border had an indirect effect on the strength of empowerment programs funded through village funds. This indicated that apart from implementing policies, the community must also be involved in the planning and implementation of various programs. Furthermore, the central or regional government must play an active role during the designing stages as well as involve farmers and experts in the empowerment process in the Indonesia-Timor Leste border areas.

Abstract

Grouper is one of the fishery resources that has high economic value. The high price has led to increased exploitation of the grouper out of 163 grouper species worldwide. According to the IUCN, 12% (20 species) are classified as endangered, while 13% (22 species) are categorized as near threatened under the IUCN Red List criteria. This study aims to see the extent of the economic potential of grouper in Kolaka Regency and identify its distribution area. Analysis was done descriptively based on the results of field observations. The results of this research show that the potential of grouper fisheries in Kolaka Regency is quite large. However, the catch per unit of effort (CPUE) of grouper fluctuates every year. A significant increase occurred in 2014, then decreased in 2016, and increased again the following year; in 2017, there was a decrease in 2019, and increased again in 2020 and 2021. This research concludes that grouper fishing occurs more in the waters of Kolaka Regency due to the high fishing activities carried out by local fishermen. Based on these data, management efforts must be carried out immediately to maintain the stock of grouper resources in Kolaka Regency.
