In addition to using interviews, data mining also uses observation and literature study. This data processing and analysis is used to draw data and information obtained from the field into a theory. Mc Nabb, 2002 states that there are two approaches in processing and analyzing research data, namely Staurissian and Glaserian. This data processing and analysis is used to draw data and information obtained from the field into a theory. Mc Nabb (2002) states that there are two approaches in processing and analyzing research data, namely Staurissian and Glaserian. However, in general, in terms of fundamentals, both approaches emphasize the same thing, namely emphasizing the importance of coding as the key to analysis. This analysis process is carried out continuously starting from the beginning of data collection until the adequacy of data is met. Therefore, in this study, it is very possible for researchers to retrieve data repeatedly from informants when needed. On the other hand, researchers must also formulate the truth of events/events with in-depth interviews or interviews. Smith, 2009 explains that the data obtained by in-depth interviews can be analyzed by using interpretative phenomenological analysis. VI. R esults and D iscussion From depth interviews result, found various problems that make the low economic level of coastal communities. These problems include lack of education of coastal communities. In addition, health insurance is also not comprehensive. While infrastructure facilities and village infrastructure is rudimental. From the various problems that exist result lacking of community creativeness. Thus, the community is less able to take the business opportunities that exist. While potential of coastal areas are very abundant. Synergistically and systematically poverty alleviation must be done so that all citizens are able to enjoy the results of development and dignified life. Therefore, the synergy of all stakeholders as well as the participation of the community is necessary. The strategy is run with various poverty reduction programs. Activities undertaken by the government, businesses, and communities are to improve welfare of the poor through social assistance, community empowerment, empowerment of micro and small economic enterprises, and other programs in order to improve economic activity. However, in the implementation of the program, it seems the government has not included public participation so all programs that are tackled by the government is on target and as desired. Therefore, in the future, the government should involve community participation. Beside the program can be run on target, with community participation is expected to be a control in the implementation of the program. It also found the low income levels of society and the amount of spending make coastal communities increasingly chained in poverty. Odd Jobs with low salary sometimes create a problem for them. Experience the problem, coastal communities finally tried to build another business. Such as fish and shrimp farming with tarpaulin as media or make fish and shrimp crackers and all of it is done with limited capital. In addition there is also a small part of the community who opened the small shop and food stalls with very little capital. All that effort is done to meet their personal needs and their family’s needs. Some other communities rely solely on the results of fish catching at sea and along Kepetingan River. However, the results also declined. The high spending of fuel used for fishing is not proportional to the results obtained From this phenomenon the community must innovate with other businesses in order to meet the needs of his family life. To meet this need, some people make a semi-permanent fish pond made from tarpaulins in the front yard of their house. The pools are for raising catfish and shrimp in the hope that the harvest can be used to support their economy. Meanwhile, from the field observation, the community has not been able to open new business opportunities from sea and fish ponds both for fish and shrimp except only to make crackers that are still less optimal. This is all due to their lack of knowledge and lack of coaching from the government. Coaching program is necessary to improve their economy, whether the program is held by the government or by private sector that share same desire to improve the economy of coastal community. Apparently the role of government in entrepreneurship development to coastal villagers is still lacking. This happens because of geographical factors, it’s difficult to reach. From the various problems above it seems clear that the government is still lacking in empowering the community, mainly to the efforts in order to get optimal results in improving their economy. Meanwhile, the government is lack in providing insight to the community about home-based business marketing conducted by coastal communities. Furthermore, the mistake of government system is by simply providing assistance without providing solutions how to use it. Because it became a community habit when they get help, then their lifestyle will increase. Their purchasing power will rise for a moment without thinking of the future. This is a weakness for people in this coastal area. From the field observations result that their low education level also affect the level of the economy.
