Description
Summary:This study examines the role of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) in supporting aquaculture households in Sidoarjo Regency as they adapt to structural shifts driven by industrialization and urbanization. The research analyzes how sustainable livelihood strategies enhance the economic stability of pond-based households impacted by land-use change. Using a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis, the study employs Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate the influence of key variables. Conducted in Kalisogo Pond Village, the study uses purposive sampling based on criteria such as economic reliance on aquaculture and sector experience. Data were gathered through questionnaires and analyzed for model validity and reliability. Findings indicate that the SLA significantly bolsters pond households’ adaptive capacity to structural shifts. Income diversification through non-aquaculture activities enhances economic stability and reduces dependence on pond farming. Social capital further supports households by strengthening local community networks. The study underscores the importance of institutional backing and microcredit access for aquaculture households. Policymakers and financial institutions are encouraged to support sustainable adaptation measures. These findings offer valuable insights into the SLA’s application amid structural changes in industrialized coastal regions. Penelitian ini mengkaji peran Pendekatan Penghidupan Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Livelihood Approach/SLA) dalam mendukung rumah tangga perikanan budidaya di Kabupaten Sidoarjo dalam beradaptasi terhadap pergeseran struktural akibat industrialisasi dan urbanisasi. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana strategi penghidupan berkelanjutan meningkatkan stabilitas ekonomi rumah tangga tambak yang terdampak oleh perubahan penggunaan lahan. Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan analisis deskriptif, penelitian ini menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh variabel-variabel kunci. Dilakukan di Desa Tambak Kalisogo, penelitian ini menerapkan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria seperti ketergantungan ekonomi pada perikanan budidaya dan pengalaman di sektor tersebut. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis untuk memeriksa validitas dan reliabilitas model. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SLA secara signifikan meningkatkan kapasitas adaptif rumah tangga tambak terhadap pergeseran struktural. Diversifikasi pendapatan melalui kegiatan non-tambak meningkatkan stabilitas ekonomi dan mengurangi ketergantungan pada usaha tambak. Modal sosial juga mendukung rumah tangga dengan memperkuat jaringan komunitas lokal. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya dukungan kelembagaan dan akses ke kredit mikro bagi rumah tangga perikanan budidaya. Para pembuat kebijakan dan lembaga keuangan didorong untuk mendukung langkah-langkah adaptasi yang berkelanjutan. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan berharga mengenai penerapan SLA dalam konteks perubahan struktural di kawasan pesisir yang terindustrialisasi.
