- Abstract
Strengthening collective action at the community level was built through the pillars of social capital will strengthen the bargain-ing power of the local community against external forces seeking to exploit natural resources. An identification study was conducted to examine the potential of social capital in fishing communities, espe-cially in activities related to post-earthquake and tsunami economic activities. To achieve this objective, the reserachers made a combina-tion of qualitative and quantitative approaches is used, with a popu-lation of all fishermen households that have remained for at least five years. Sample determination was done by using multilevel cluster technique. The results show that poor fishermen do not seem to have any initiative to solve the problems they face. From the main ele-ments of social capital, some potential social capital can be identified in the fishing communities in the study sites. To improve the institu-tional capability and strengthening at the level of poor fishing com-munities, the potential of existing social capital needs to be built and created in such a way. In this context, the interrelationship between elements of social capital must be understood as a unity, where mutu-al trust, and egalitarian understanding.
