Volume XXII Issue III Version I 56 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2022 © 2022 Global Journals E Economic Empowerment Model of Coastal Communities Since long time coastal communities mostly just worked as traditional fishermen and ponds farmers, always assume that education has not become an important requirement. Beside of things mentioned above, many of coastal communities work as fishermen. However, the wrong habits are sometimes done by the fishermen. When going to fishing at sea sometimes they borrowing money from the fish collectors. Hopefully the catch can be sold to the collectors and reduce their loans. However, if the fishermen get lot fish then they will go home with the remaining money from the catch. However, if the fish catches only slightly and decline, it is certain opportunity to close the loan becomes less, thus their debt to the collectors will be more and more. Therefore they certainly will be more entangled by the debts to these fish collectors. The same thing is done by the pond farm farmers. When they start working on the ponds, spreading the seeds of the fish feeding them until the harvesting process, sometimes they also use the loan money. When the results are good enough then they will get maximum results. However, on the contrary it is certain that they will experience a lot of losses. This problem is less thought by community. Seeing this phenomenon should be increase the effort to coaching or lending capital for them to start a business with a very flexible repayment system. If this can happen then surely they will not be in a debt winding. Meanwhile their wives have no skills. After the field observation, their inability because of low education level, least experience and lack of entrepreneurship empowerment from the government. Whereas the manufacture of food from these processed products can be sold out of the village or even out of the area. But in reality people have not been able to grasp this opportunity, while the outcome of it can be used to sustain their economy. This matter really needs serious attention. Nor the absences of awareness from the communities or it just because of their laziness alone so opportunities are never caught by them. It is necessary to held entrepreneur coaching from government or private parties to be their companion including up to the marketing process. And if it possible provides capital aid to start a business with an easier payment system. If this happens then it is believed their economic level will increase. These responsibilities must all be managed in groups, not individually. Due to the number of occurrences in some areas that many of the community's loan money sourced from government funds are not returned. To avoid it, it is better to make loan in groups and the person who take responsibility is the head of the group. It is more possible to make the condition becomes more secure with one financial responsibility. Because of the habits that occur in the field that if the loan is on behalf of the individual then the possibility of returning the loan is very difficult. In addition to the various problems above, there are other things that are less neglected in this community that is the existence of goat farms that lack of coaching from the government. While the owners of this goat farm just follow the tradition of heredity that is to let the animals cattle out the cage in the morning and go home on the day. They just rely solely on eating grass from the embankment and without ever giving other nutrients to make these goats healthier. Meanwhile, usual healthy check of livestock is usually done by the livestock service department every five months and even if it requested by breeder groups. If managed well and modern, this farm is likely to get maximum results and certainly can sustain their economy. Because the animal stool for a day if collected almost reaches 2-3 quintals. Therefore, if this is well maintained, it is possible become a fairly large goat farming center in this area. For that high effort is required from these breeders and assisted and given maximum coaching by the government to create new innovations in the management of this farm. In addition, at least this cooperation in farm management can make the level of marketing of goat livestock farming in a good management. VII. R ecommended M odeling of E conomic E mpowerment for C oastal C ommunities From the findings above, actually the government has provided assistance to coastal communities in order to improve their welfare. But it does not seem right on the target yet. While the core problems faced by the main community especially the crackers maker, namely lack of appropriate government role in order to improve their economy. Beside that the community is less able to catch new business opportunities from fish and shrimp product. Actually they can process the less marketable fish become other forms that will be easier to sell and of course the price can be more expensive.
