PENGEMBANGAN KAWASAN PEMUKIMAN NELAYAN YANG SEHAT DAN BERKELANJUTAN MELALUI PENGABDIAN BERBASIS DESAIN DI DESA BOTUTONUO KABUPATEN BONE BOLANGO

Abstract

Fishermen's settlements in Botutonuo Village, Bonebolango Regency, still face various social and environmental problems, such as limited basic facilities, poor sanitation, and low awareness of environmental management. This community service project aims to improve the quality of life of fishermen through the design of sustainable coastal organizations using a participatory approach. The activity methods included field surveys and observations, mapping potential and weaknesses, focus group discussions, joint community design, and environmental management training and mentoring. The project resulted in a design for an integrated fishermen's organization area that accommodates housing, the fishermen's economy, public space, and coastal disaster mitigation functions. The participatory process encouraged active community involvement and increased understanding of the importance of healthy and organized environmental organizations. The resulting design received support from the village government and can be used as a reference in the RPJMDes and proposed Village Fund programs. This program demonstrates that community empowerment based on participatory planning is effective in improving the welfare of coastal fishermen.
