Abstract

This study investigates the sustainability of seaweed cultivation as a strategic economic resource and its implications for community welfare in Raijua District, Sabu Raijua Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving key stakeholders, including seaweed farmers, local authorities, and marine experts. The research aims to explore the socio-economic, environmental, and institutional factors influencing the sustainability of seaweed farming, and to assess its potential in supporting regional economic development. Findings reveal that the sustainability of seaweed cultivation is shaped by multiple interrelated factors such as environmental conditions, site selection, cultivation technology, farmer management skills, market access, infrastructure, government policy, education, and institutional collaboration. These factors directly affect productivity, resilience, and the long-term viability of seaweed farming. The study also highlights the positive impacts of seaweed cultivation on community welfare through income generation, reduced urban migration, empowerment of marginalized groups, economic diversification, and the growth of micro and small enterprises. Furthermore, environmentally friendly cultivation practices contribute to marine ecosystem conservation, carbon sequestration, and sustainable resource management. The study concludes that seaweed cultivation, when supported by integrated policy frameworks and stakeholder cooperation, can serve as a sustainable livelihood strategy and an engine for regional economic growth. These insights are valuable for policymakers, development practitioners, and researchers focusing on sustainable aquaculture and coastal economic resilience in developing regions.

Abstract

Background Telecommunication accessibility is a key driver of inclusive development, particularly in Indonesia’s 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost) regions, where geographical isolation and infrastructure limitations constrain economic opportunities. To reduce the digital divide, the Indonesian government has prioritized national programs such as the Palapa Ring and the deployment of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs). This study examines how these initiatives influence telecommunication accessibility and local economic dynamics in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Methods This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with local government officials, telecommunication providers, community leaders, and end users, complemented by field observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify access conditions, structural challenges, and local economic responses to telecommunication development. Results The findings indicate that expanding fiber-optic networks and BTS infrastructure has improved basic connectivity and reduced isolation in several 3T areas. Improved access supports micro, small, and medium enterprise activities, enhances access to digital education, and enables emerging digital-based livelihoods. However, benefits remain uneven due to persistent last-mile connectivity gaps, unstable network quality, low digital literacy, and limited affordability. Conclusions Telecommunication infrastructure development in 3T regions is necessary but insufficient for inclusive local economic growth. Integrating infrastructure expansion with digital literacy programs, affordability support, and targeted last-mile interventions is essential to maximize socio-economic benefits.
