Abstract

Fishermen on the north coast of Semarang City are a vulnerable community group. This is because the level of education and the economy is low, so efforts are needed to empower them. Tilapia cultivation is one of the efforts to develop the economy and empower small fishing communities in Tambak Rejo. This research aims to find out and to analyze Fishermen’s Participation through Tilapia Fish Farming Business so that the welfare of life increases. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. In addition, Participatory Action Research (PAR) is also used to conduct research that is simultaneously coupled with real action in the community. The results of this study are 1) Most of the people of Tambak Rejo Semarang are included in the lower middle class category, so there needs to be empowerment efforts for the Tambak Rejo fishing community in order to improve their quality of life; 2) Tilapia fish farming is an alternative model for empowering small fishermen which aims to provide skills and encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship. 3) The problem faced by Tambak Rejo fishermen is the lack of community participation from fishing groups in the planning stage, resulting in the inhibition of the implementation of the program. In addition, technical constraints both internally and externally; 4) The strategy for empowering small fishermen in Tambak Rejo is carried out by facilitating the growth of awareness and participation of the small fishermen community, encouraging their independence, and developing collaborative plans with various parties.
