Abstract

This study aims to analyze the income and welfare of anchovy pond farmers in Desa Kumu and Rap-Rap, Minahasa, within the framework of blue economy sustainability.. A quantitative approach with an explanatory descriptive design was employed, combining structured interviews, a validated questionnaire, and direct field observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, with classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) conducted to ensure model validity. The results show that the average net daily income for pond farmers ranges from IDR 100,000 to IDR 135,000, which is sufficient for household needs but subject to fluctuations due to market prices and environmental conditions. The regression model (R² = 0.76, F = 18.24, p < 0.01) reveals that direct market access (β = 0.55, p = 0.000) and working capital (β = 0.42, p = 0.002) have a significant positive impact on income, while operational costs have a significant negative effect (β = -0.38, p = 0.005). In contrast, the use of environmentally friendly technology does not show a significant influence (p = 0.162), primarily due to limited adoption. Most farmers rely on personal savings for capital and sell their produce through local collectors at non-negotiable prices. Although 80% have heard of the blue economy, practical understanding and implementation remain low, hindered by high equipment costs and lack of training. The discussion highlights that economic empowerment, particularly through improved market access and financial support, is more critical for immediate welfare improvement than environmental technology adoption. The findings extend previous research by integrating socio-economic and sustainability factors into a single analytical model. Based on these results, it is recommended that local authorities facilitate the establishment of marketing cooperatives, provide microfinance programs, and deliver targeted training on eco-friendly aquaculture practices to enhance both income and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the economic and social determinants of welfare among Abaca fiber-based micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors in the Talaud Islands Regency in Indonesia. Despite the global recognition of abaca fiber for its durability and sustainability (used in currency notes, luxury automotive interiors, and marine ropes), local producers continue to experience severe welfare challenges. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, data were collected through a structured survey of 30 entrepreneurs and in-depth interviews supported by field observations and focus group discussions. Findings reveal a significant decline in abaca enterprises, particularly in Essang, where 87% of respondents classify their business as “declining” or “newly initiated.” The average monthly income from this activity ranges between IDR 40,000 and IDR 60,000, deemed insufficient by 93% of the respondents to meet basic household needs. Income instability, driven by fluctuating demand and exploitative pricing by intermediaries, has reduced enterprises to marginal, non-primary livelihoods. Structural fragmentation of the value chain, absence of formal market access, and lack of postharvest support following initial government incentives have further weakened sustainability. While 77% of producers involve family or neighbors in production, indicating latent social capital, collaboration among artisans remains minimal, with 60% reporting rare or competitive interactions. Although 87% expressed a strong interest in training and institutional support, only 13% received direct financial assistance. The study concludes that the persistence of poverty among abaca producers is not due to commodity value but to systemic inequities in market access, institutional neglect, and policy discontinuity. Strategic interventions, such as collective marketing institutions, digital promotion, technological training, and inclusive partnerships, are recommended to transform abaca MSMEs into a sustainable and empowering sector.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the potential of integrating local etiquette values into the education system as a strategy to enhance students’ psychological resilience and prevent suicide, particularly in remote regions such as the Talaud Islands Regency. With rising suicide rates and limited access to professional mental health services, there is a pressing need for alternative, culturally grounded, and contextually relevant approaches. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory observation involving teachers, students, parents, and community leaders in Gemeh District, along with quantitative analysis using culturally adapted instruments including resilience scales and psychological assessments. The findings indicate that local etiquette values, such as respect for privacy, social responsibility, and interpersonal boundaries, play a significant role in fostering a supportive environment and reducing psychosocial stress, especially for students with intellectual limitations. The internalization of these values has been shown to enhance feelings of safety, social acceptance, and self-regulation, which are key components in building psychological resilience. Based on these results, it is recommended that local etiquette values be systematically incorporated into local content curricula and school counseling programs. Training teachers and counselors in culture-based inclusive education, collaborating with traditional leaders, and dedicated budget allocation by local authorities are essential for ensuring the sustainability of such interventions. This approach holds promise as a community-based mental health model that can be adapted and replicated in other island regions that face similar challenges.

Abstract

This study proposes a transformative economic innovation education model to strengthen the economic resilience of fishing communities in the Talaud Islands, Indonesia, where livelihoods are highly vulnerable to climate variability and market instability. Given the absence of established diversification initiatives, a participatory multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach was adopted to identify and prioritize feasible product alternatives. The research was conducted in Gemeh District using a mixed-methods design, integrating qualitative insights with quantitative analysis. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 25 fishermen and five community representatives were conducted to identify eight potential diversification options based on local resource availability and cultural relevance. Subsequently, a decision matrix was constructed using data from 20 active fishermen who evaluated alternatives across seven criteria: initial capital, skill level, weather resilience, income potential, market access, community support, and environmental sustainability. The ANP-EWM-TOPSIS hybrid method was applied to generate a balanced weighting system, combining subjective judgments (via ANP) and objective data variation (via EWM) before the final ranking. Wall décor from marine materials emerged as the top-ranked alternative (CC = 0.817), followed by fermented fish sauce (CC = 0.761), and seaweed farming (CC = 0.739), due to low capital requirements, high weather resilience, and strong community alignment. In contrast, floating net cage aquaculture ranked lowest owing to its high risk and climate vulnerability. These findings demonstrate that land-based, culture-rooted, and waste-utilizing activities offer the most viable pathways for adaptive livelihoods. They concluded that economic resilience can be enhanced through education models that integrate local knowledge, participatory decision-making, and sustainable value addition. This study provides a replicable framework for empowering remote coastal communities in Indonesia and other archipelagic regions.

Abstract

This study explores the revitalization of Wara’ dance in the Talaud Islands Regency through a holistic linguistic approach, aiming to transform it into a dynamic cultural tourism product and a driver of the local creative economy. For over three decades, Wara’ dance has experienced stagnation, perceived as outdated and disconnected from contemporary audiences, leading to declining community participation and diminished economic returns. To address this, the research employs a qualitative method with holistic discourse analysis, integrating linguistic, anthropological, and cultural studies perspectives. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participatory observation, and analysis of archival and linguistic materials in Arangkaa Village, the historical site of King Larenggam’s resistance. The findings reveal that the dance’s verbal elements are minimal, relying on a few ritual phrases. However, rich cultural meanings are embedded in local language, toponyms like “Arangkaa” (meaning “charcoal”), and customary utterances from rituals such as Manaroho Raho. These elements were systematically analyzed and reinterpreted to innovate choreography, costumes, music, and narrative structure. A new thematic concept, “From Resistance to Revival,” was developed, enhancing the dance’s storytelling capacity and emotional depth. Community participation was central, ensuring cultural authenticity and social acceptance of the changes. The study concludes that a linguistically grounded, participatory approach enables meaningful revitalization, transforming Wara’ dance from a static tradition into a living, relevant art form. Furthermore, the proposed cultural tourism package demonstrates significant potential for generating sustainable income for performers and the local community, positioning the dance as a catalyst for both cultural preservation and economic empowerment in a remote island region.
