Abstract

The collaborative research determined the basic obstacles and difficulties small-scale fisheries face to improve socio-economic quality and become more prosperous. The purpose was to explore the factors causing poverty despite providing aid and subsidies in the form of knowledge life skills and empowerment programs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions on all phenomena and analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the fishermen were lazy, resigned, apathetic, lacked initiative, irrational, and worked instinctively. Moreover, the attributes were identified as completely inconsistent with the efforts to improve the quality of life. In conclusion, without a rational work ethic, high discipline, hard work, material orientation, thrift, and savings, it is impossible to improve the quality of life.
