Strategi Bertahan Hidup: Masyarakat Pesisir Suku Bajo Di Kabupaten Kolaka Utara

Abstract

This study aims to determine the survival strategy of Bajo tribal coastal community in Sulaho Village, North Kolaka Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques used are participatory observation, interview, and documentation. The results showed that their survival strategies are (1) active relationship and (2) passive relationship. Active relationship is the relation of social process horizontally (the relationship of fellow citizens) with livelihoods as fishermen. As fishermen, they sell their fish catches in traditional markets and if their fish do not sell, they exchange their fish with goods (barter) between traders. They also carry out a system of labor division based on sex, men (fathers, husbands, and sons) act as fishermen or looking for fish in the sea, while women (mothers, wives, and daughters) work in the kitchen and as seller of fish catches in the markets. Meanwhile, passive relationship is the relation of social process vertically (the relationship with government). This includes their limitations in the fields of education, economics and social. They really need attention and assistance from the local government, but in fact there is emptiness (vacuum-relation) until now.
