Development of The Sustainable Minapolitan Potential of Lumajang Regency by Increasing Competitiveness Through Community-based Fresh Water Cultivation Fisheries

Abstract

Lumajang Regency is one of the areas in the southern part of East Java Province. The area in Lumajang Regency that has fishery potential to be developed into a minapolitan area is mainly located in the south part of Lumajang Regency and is directly adjacent to the Indonesian Ocean. One of them is Yosowilangun Sub-district which is famous for its fish and pond farming activities, especially in Meleman. In addition, Yosowilangun, Klakah, and Rowokangkung sub- districts have the potential for superior commodities and natural geographical locations suitable for fishery business. However, the areas included in disaster-prone areas and the marketing of processed fishery products is still low, this is not proportional to the high market demand for fishery products in Lumajang Regency. Freshwater aquaculture fisheries that have a high chance of being developed are catfish, gourami, and tilapia. Through data collection in the field, the existing data are analyzed through Linkages System Analysis, LQ, Growth Share, Disasters, PESTO, Paradigm Changes, and Value Proportion which are the basis for developing fishery commodity planning. To maximize the yield of freshwater fishery production in Lumajang Regency, a vision was formulated: "To create a sustainable Lumajang Regency minapolitan sector by increasing competitiveness through the development of community-based freshwater aquaculture superior commodities." The resulting recommendation plan includes socialization of strategies for controlling aquaculture activities in disaster-prone areas, procurement of biosecurity socialization for cultivators, optimization of marketing, development of fishery product facilities and infrastructure, development of sustainable tourism, empowerment of community-based fishery product processing cultivators, development of product processing facilities and infrastructure—fisheries and empowering cultivators in the use of technology through aquaculture groups.
