PERSEPSI DAN STRATEGI ADAPTASI NELAYAN TERHADAP ISU PENCABUTAN SUBSIDI BBM

Abstract

Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) merupakan input produksi penting bagi nelayan. Pada awal tahun
2014, terdapat wacana untuk menghapus subsidi BBM untuk nelayan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk
menganalis persepsi nelayan terhadap kemungkinan kebijakan pencabutan subsidi BBM dan menganalisis
strategi adaptasi nelayan terhadap kemungkinan pencabutan subsidi BBM. Lokasi penelitian berada di
Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera (PPS) Nizam Zachman dan Pelabuhan Pendaratan Perikanan (PPI)
Muara Angke di Provinsi D.K.I. Jakarta. Penelitian dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan
data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam (in-depth Interview) kepada petugas pelabuhan, tokoh
nelayan, pemilik dan nahkoda kapal perikanan. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil kajian
menunjukan bahwa sebagian besar nelayan (khususnya nelayan kecil) menolak terhadap kebijakan
pencabutan subsidi BBM. Jenis strategi adaptasi nelayan terhadap kemungkinan diberlakukannya
kebijakan pencabutan subsidi BBM diantaranya adalah tidak melakukan aktivitas melaut dalam jangka
waktu tertentu, beralih pekerjaan ke sektor non perikanan maupun sektor perikanan lainnya dan mencari
solusi pemecahan masalah melalui kelompok.
