Social and Institutional Analysis of the Sustainability of Fish Fishing Practices in the Tempe Flood (Case Study on Palawang Practices)

Abstract

One form of fishing practice in Tempe Lake that still takes place today is palawang, which is a particular place on the edge of the lake whose boundaries have been determined to be controlled by using a splint, which is a fishing tool made of woven bamboo which is installed around it according to predetermined limits. This study aims to determine the potential sustainability of the palawang practice in terms of its social and institutional dimensions. The qualitative method used in this research uses the primary data collection instrument, namely interview guidelines. The results showed that the sustainability of palawang practices in Tempe Lake depends on the bonds of fishing traditions institutionalized through the Maccera Tappareng tradition as well as compliance with the rules set in the palawang practice from the time of the auction to the time of work starting with the installation of fishing aids until the completion of the fishing period in the palawang land area.
