Abstract

Kijing International Port is a National Strategic Project undergoing development in Mempawah Regency, Indonesia situated in close proximity to community settlements covering an area of 200 hectares. This development significantly impacts various economic and social sectors, including land acquisition and changes in livelihoods. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of the Kijing Port construction on residents affected by the land acquisition process. The research employs descriptive qualitative methods for data collection, including interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants for this study comprise five individuals with diverse livelihoods, selected through purposive sampling focusing on those affected by Kijing Port's land acquisition. The study's findings reveal that land acquisition has had a negative impact on the residents' lives. In the economic sector, the community's welfare has decreased as some have lost permanent employment. Regarding natural and social resources, the community faces challenges related to access to clean water and increased noise and air pollution. Infrastructure has also suffered, with some roads deteriorating quickly. Public perception indicates that, in general, the level of welfare and security was better before the construction of Kijing Port.

Abstract

This study examines ecotourism as a lever for coastal community livelihood using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) on Lemukutan Island, Bengkayang Regency. The purpose of the research is to analyze how ecotourism development is related to the five livelihood capitals of the community, namely natural, human, social, physical, and financial capital. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach through case studies, using in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and focus group discussions, and supported by secondary data from official reports and scientific literature. The results of the study show that ecotourism on Lemukutan Island makes a significant contribution to increasing household income, expanding employment, and developing local businesses based on homestays, MSMEs, and tourism services. In terms of natural capital, the marine ecosystem that is still maintained is the main attraction, despite facing pressure due to the increasing number of tourists. Human capital develops through the involvement of youth and women in tourism management, although the limitations of formal training remain an obstacle. Social capital is reflected in the practice of mutual cooperation and the role of tourism-aware groups, while physical and financial capital is shown through infrastructure improvements, distribution of clean water, electricity, and increased sources of community income. These findings confirm that SLAs are relevant to understanding the dynamics of livelihoods in ecotourism, as well as to providing recommendations for strategies to strengthen community capacity and manage resources in a sustainable manner.
