Abstract:
Poverty is a difficult problem for the Indonesian government to tackle, especially in
coastal communities, which has an impact on the welfare of fishermen. The aim of our
research is to develop targeted and sustainable solutions to reduce poverty in Kali Adem,
which aligns with one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), namely "No
Poverty." The method we used to write this research is a qualitative method aimed at
obtaining a comprehensive understanding of individuals' life experiences in the
community and answering research questions related to poverty, access to resources, and
livelihood sustainability. We collected our data by conducting direct surveys with 70
fishermen in Kampung Nelayan Kali Adem. The results of our research found that the
average income of fishermen in Kali Adem is less than 1 million per month, forcing them
to seek income from other livelihoods. Our research concluded that structural challenges
such as limited access to education, economic dependence on fisheries, and
environmental degradation significantly affect the livelihoods of the residents.
