초록

Since 2015, Indonesia’s fisheries policy in prohibiting the operation of foreign vessels has opened opportunities for local fishermen to utilize fishery resources. Considering the traditional characteristics of Indonesia’s local fishermen, all capacity building efforts are better directed to bottom-up methods. Accordingly, the concept of community development becomes the most suitable alternative, with cooperative media as an implementer. The Mina Sumitra Cooperative in the Karangsong region is one of the most successful fisheries cooperatives in Indonesia, characterized by the remarkable turnover and assets. Therefore, the Mina Sumitra Cooperative experience would become an interesting lesson in the practice of promoting cooperatives based on community development concept in the fisheries sector.
This paper aims to analyze how the Mina Sumitra Cooperative successfully implements the concept of community development to realize sustainable fisheries in the Karangsong region. A desk study approach was applied to explore the concept of fisheries development, community development, and cooperative to make a relevant case study. The analysis will be based on the scope of urgency and patterns of cooperative development, as well as outcomes of cooperative as an implementer of the community development concept.
Our findings indicate that the human-nature of fishermen and the fisheries business cycle-related are the most logical background of cooperative development. As for responding to technical needs, the patterns of cooperative development are formulated both in accordance with the flow of fisheries business cycle and within comprehensive coverage. As a result, cooperatives not only play a role in fulfilling fishermen’s needs but also provide the multiplier effects from the value chain of the fishery activities for regional economic development and preservation of local culture.
