The geographic condition of the archipelago and the inter-regional connectivity within the Kei Islands is still minimal due to the support of infrastructure and natural conditions, causing the sustainability of coastal area-based businesses, particularly capturing fisheries and mariculture fisheries are potentially be disrupted. This research aims to analyze the factors that hamper the productivity of fishing businesses in coastal areas concerning energy consumption and availability to support the business being run. This research used the PLS method, where data were collected from February 2019 to August 2020 in 40 villages with 414 respondents. The results show that consumption has a significant and positive relationship to access and availability on fisheries business productivity. This study also shows that various flow patterns and relationship patterns between variables can affect fisheries business productivity. The implications of this result can be an input for policymakers in this region to better support and maintain the availability of energy to maintain the sustainability of the business productivity of coastal communities in this region.

Abstract Coastal management is an important issue for most regions of the world. This is because the initial activities in the fisheries and marine sector began in this area, ranging from capture fisheries, aquaculture, processing of fishery products to marketing. But in reality the management of coastal areas is not optimal and evenly distributed, even though fishery and marine resources have high economic and ecological value, as happened in the coastal area of Torokeku Village. This study aims to determine the appropriate community development approach strategy through the eco blue sea concept in order to maintain fisheries and marine resources found in the coastal area of the Bajo tribal community in Torokeku Village, South Konawe Regency. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative analysis method. Collecting data through direct survey techniques in the field. The results obtained show that community-based coastal area management by seeking the development of coastal communities can be carried out through structural and non-structural approaches, so that in order to maintain these resources, their management must be carried out in a planned and integrated manner and able to provide the greatest benefit to all stakeholders, especially coastal communities, and minimize impacts and conflicts that may potentially occur.

This paper intends to explain how the construct of poverty occurs in coastal communities and small islands on the Indonesia-Philippines border. This paper is a literature review that uses social exclusion as a basis for building discourse. Sangihe Regency is a coastal area located in Indonesia — the Philippines border region. As a coastal area, many people earn a living as fishermen. Poverty that occurs in the Sangihe region is a structural (state) consequence that makes the Sangihe region become a border. The policy to modernize fishermen as a step to reduce poverty actually eliminates many local traditions, including the duality of livelihoods. In addition, modernizing has also had impact on the loss of culture at the level of knowledge and language.

Reduction of energy consumption in the affordable housing sector is highly impacted by human behavior. However, only limited behavior change research exists that is aimed at reducing energy consumption in this sector. This study seeks to implement the first two phases of the community-based social marketing (CBSM) framework in an affordable housing setting. The goals of the research are to identify the optimal behaviors for energy reduction and to identify the perceived barriers and benefits associated with those behaviors in a low-income housing facility. The results of this study identify five target behaviors along with their barriers and benefits. In addition, the study identifies potential issues and nuances in the CBSM process that researchers should take into consideration during future implementations of CBSM in affordable housing environments.

Abstract This article reveals factors that need to be considered by facilitating institutions and organisations prior to adoption of scientific indicators in community-based monitoring of mangrove ecosystems; as a necessary route towards achieving effective participation and meaningful experiential learning processes. It employs an Experiential Learning Intervention Workshop (ELIW) as a key methodological tool and a useful space for analysing conditions that are necessary for adoption of scientific frameworks in the Tanzanian coastal area. ELIW also offers an opportunity for local people to share knowledge and decide the kind of input required for monitoring mangroves and fisheries.

<p><span>The increase in urbanization requires intense energy consumption and causes an increase in emissions from transportation and industrial sources. As a result, a variety of pollutants are released into the atmosphere with negative effects on the health of organisms and ecosystems as well as on human health. In this perspective, coastal areas are considered "hot</span><span>spot</span><span>s" of environmental contamination since they often host multiple human activities. This issue is particularly dramatic close to important maritime hubs, as a matter of fact overall 25% of the world energy consumption (a major source of pollution) is employed for transport, and over 80% of world trade is carried by sea (Gobbi et al. 2020). </span><span>During 2019-2020 we carried out a continuous monitoring of particulate matter in a fixed station to understand the sources of air pollution in the northern Latium coastal area.

Small Islands face some of the main problems of any coastal area due to climate change and natural disasters. This study aims to analyze the resilience of coastal communities on a small island in terms of disasters and climate change, and to identify the strategies and adaptations that communities have undertaken as anticipatory for disaster and climate change in the future. Qualitative analysis combined with quantitative methods is used in this research to provide a clear estimate of the categories of resilience in each village. The primary data was collected by using interviews and focus discussion group and secondary data acquired through the documentation on related stakeholders. The resilience index provided by the Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries Affairs is used to categorize the resilience scales of villages. The results of this study show that the human aspects and natural resources aspects have high scores in resilience, but disaster and climate change aspects; environmental/infrastructures aspects; and economic aspects should be improved. Furthermore, the community had been taking participation in disaster mitigation.

Tuban coastal area is very rich in natural resources and environmental services. Along the coastal area there are many infrastructures and activity centers. Various forms of existing activities and uses have negative impact, so Tuban coastal area is vulnerable to environmental damage. Prevention efforts that can be done are through the study of environmental ethics. This research aims to study the value of Tuban coastal area, assess the environmental ethics of community in Tuban coastal area, and formulate the coastal environmental ethics of Tuban based on coastal area values. The data were collected from observation, field portraits, and interviews. Then the data were analysed by scoring and descriptive. The results showed that the highest coastal area values in Karangagung, Panyuran, Sukolilo and Kutorejo is economic value. The highest environmental ethics values is in Kutorejo, while the lowest is in Karangagung. Coastal environmental ethics of Tuban are formulated based on eleven coastal area values ??that contain of behaviors that should be carried out by coastal communities so that the sustainability of Tuban coastal area can be maintained. Keywords: environmental ethics; coastal area values; management, attitudes; coastal area
