Abstract

The development of the tourism industry on Bunaken Island has opened up employment opportunities which lead to improved welfare of local communities. In the framework of social-based community empowerment, it is necessary to examine constructively the social capital contained in the people on the island. How are the parties involved in community empowerment action-based coordination activities. But in observing the researchers the empowerment of local communities is not optimal in the implementation of Bunaken Island. The purpose of this study was to examine the empowerment of local communities based on social capital action coordination in tourism development on Bunaken Island. Case study methods carried out were observation, interviews and documentation directly in the field. Data sources were informants selected in a snowball model. The data obtained were reduced, displayed and verified. The data were tested using triangulation methods (source, technique, and time) and check of member. Empirical findings show that community empowerment has developed such as knowledge, skills, attitudinal abilities, and capacity, as well as social capital action coordination in supporting tourism potential on Bunaken Island. Even though there are still obstacles, but because empowerment is an ongoing process, it is hoped that these obstacles will be overcome.
