Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of social assistance distribution in Otomona Village, Mimika Regency, focusing on value accuracy, target accuracy, and timeliness. The research seeks to identify strengths and weaknesses of the program and provide recommendations for improvement. Research/methodology: The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using purposive sampling of 30 respondents who were recipients of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT). Data were collected through structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of official records. The analysis emphasized transparency, distribution mechanisms, and recipients’ perspectives. Results: Findings reveal that value accuracy has been achieved, as all respondents consistently received Rp 200,000 per month without deductions or administrative fees. However, challenges remain in targeting and timeliness. About 80% of respondents had incomes below the regional minimum wage, confirming appropriate targeting, yet variations in housing conditions highlight inconsistencies in eligibility criteria. Additionally, 44% of respondents reported delays in receiving assistance, showing weaknesses in timeliness. Conclusions: The distribution of social assistance in Otomona Village has been effective in terms of value accuracy but requires improvement in targeting and timeliness to ensure fairness and consistency. Enhancing coordination, updating beneficiary data, and leveraging technology are key strategies to increase program effectiveness. Limitations: The study was limited to 30 respondents in one village, which restricts generalizability. Broader and comparative studies are needed to capture diverse regional contexts. Contribution: This research provides empirical evidence on the performance of social assistance programs at the village level and offers practical recommendations to strengthen policy implementation and improve social welfare outcomes.

Abstract

Mud crab (Scylla spp.), locally known as karaka, is a high-value fisheries commodity that supports the livelihoods of coastal communities in Mimika Regency, particularly in Fanamo and Omawita Villages, East Mimika District. However, inadequate post-harvest handling practices have resulted in high mortality rates, reduced product quality, and low market prices received by fishers. This community service program aimed to improve fishers’ knowledge and skills in proper mud crab handling based on Better Management Practices (BMP). A participatory and qualitative descriptive approach was applied through socialization sessions, focus group discussions, technical demonstrations, and hands-on practice. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of quality standards, appropriate storage and transportation techniques, and common handling errors. Implementation of BMP principles reduced crab mortality rates from an estimated 15–20% to below 5%, leading to substantial potential income gains for fishers. Beyond economic benefits, the activity also enhanced awareness of sustainable mud crab management and the importance of conserving mangrove ecosystems. Overall, this program contributed to strengthening fishers’ capacity, improving their bargaining position within the supply chain, and supporting more sustainable coastal fisheries management in Mimika Regency.

Abstract

Mangrove crab (Scylla spp.) fisheries constitute an important livelihood source for coastal communities in Far East Mimika District, Indonesia. However, increasing market demand has led to unsustainable fishing practices, including the capture of egg-bearing females, harvesting of undersized crabs, and the use of nonselective fishing gear that damages mangrove habitats. These practices threaten crab stock sustainability and the long-term welfare of fishing communities. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of a socialization and training program promoting sustainable mangrove crab fishing methods in Fanamo and Omawita Villages. The program applied a community-based approach consisting of awareness campaigns, hands-on training in eco-friendly fishing gear (folding traps with escape gaps and selective gillnets), introduction of minimum catch-size regulations, establishment of no-catch zones, and implementation of a simple catch logbook system. The activities were conducted through participatory discussions, field demonstrations, workshops, and mentoring. The results indicate increased awareness among fishermen regarding conservation principles, adoption of environmentally friendly fishing gear by participating fishers, and initial use of catch logbooks for monitoring productivity. Despite challenges such as limited literacy and time constraints, the mentoring approach strengthened behavioral change and local acceptance of sustainable practices. The study concludes that integrating socialization, technical training, and community-based monitoring effectively supports sustainable resource management while maintaining fishers’ productivity. This initiative provides a practical model for strengthening coastal governance and ensuring the ecological and economic sustainability of mangrove crab fisheries.
