A Concept Paper on Potential Behavioural Factors That Influence the Global Positioning System (GPS) Usage in Small-Scale Fishing Operation

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to review potential behavioral factors that influence the use of The Global Positioning System (GPS) in small-scale fishing operations. This study is based on three main problems. First, although the GPS 'marking' function can help fishermen overcome their two main issues, namely low income and the threat of climate change, they still do not use this technology satisfactorily. Second is the need for review to understand the GPS use in small-scale fishing operations. Third, the need to provide ideas to improve further the Fishermen's Transformation Program developed by the government. The present review explained factors in models or theories such as the Extended Technology Acceptance Model,
