Abstract

This study analyzed selected problems of small-scale fishermen in Indonesia, related to governmental assistance, fishing as an occupation, and their willingness to take risk associated with fishing practices. The population of 979 small-scale fishermen in Sub-district Pangandaran, Ciamis, West Java, Indonesia were studied from May 1989 to August 1989. A sample of 126 fishermen consisting of small (< 10 gross tons) boat owners and workers on boats was chosen using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through personal interviews. Attitude scales were constructed using factor analysis. Cronbach's [alpha] values were calculated and ranged from 0.64 to 0.94.
