POVERTY IN KAMPUNG NELAYAN MUSTIKA KALI ADEM BASED ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF FISHERMEN COMMUNITY IN THE CONTEXT OF SDG

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.
