<![CDATA[Ketimpangan sosial ekonomi yang masih terlihat dalam kehidupan masyarakat pesisir telah berkontribusi pada distribusi kemiskinan, sehingga perlu intervensi pemerintah pusat maupun daerah. Tujuan penelitian ini meliputi (1) mengidentifikasi karakteristik usaha rumah tangga (RT); (2) menganalisis indeks keberlanjutan rumah tangga; dan (3) menganalisis strategi keberlanjutan RT pembudi daya kerapu, khususnya di Kecamatan Gerokrak, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali. Penelitian dilakukan selama bulan Februari—Desember 2018 di Teluk Pegametan, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali. Riset ini menggunakan pendekatan “Sustainable Livelihood Approach”. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Data yang dikumpulkan diinput dan dianalisis secara deskriptif, analisis finansial, serta penghitungan indeks keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga “iKERT” kelautan dan perikanan yang terdiri dari lima indeks modal (alam, manusia, finansial, sosial, dan fisik). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan besarnya indeks keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga untuk masing-masing modal adalah 75,49 (modal finansial); 59,23 (modal alam); 35,92 (modal fisik); 45,48 (modal manusia); dan 42,34 (modal sosial). Secara komposit, indeks modal alam, indeks modal sosial, indeks modal fisik cukup sesuai dengan keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga kelautan perikanan. Ketiga indeks sudah mendekati nilai rata-rata dari sebaran indeks (50%) yang diasumsikan sebagai kondisi ideal untuk keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga. Sementara itu, kebijakan maupun program yang terkait dengan indeks modal manusia, belum terlalu optimal untuk mendukung keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga pembudi daya ikan di Kecamatan Gerokgak, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali.Title: Household Economy Sustainability of Grouper Farmers in Gerokgak Sub District, Buleleng Regency, Bali ProvinceThe socio-economic disparity among coastal communities lead to the widespread distribution of poverty, hence, they need intervention from central government as well as local government.
