Abstract

Coastal development, change in the fishermen’s environment, and adaptations in their behaviour affects the welfare of traditional fishermen in the coastal area of Manado Bay, North Sulawesi Indonesia. This study determines, both partially and simultaneously, directly and indirectly, totally, the extent and the influence of coastal development, the change in environment and the adaptation of behaviour on the welfare of traditional Manadonese fishermen. This study’s methodology uses the mixed method by integrating the quantitative and qualitative approaches. Probability sampling has been used in collecting data from as many as 125 fishermen from Bunaken, Tuminting, Wenang, Sario, and Malalayang districts of the coastal area of Manado Bay. Moreover, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) has been used in analysing the data of this study. The result shows that coastal development, change in fishermen’s environment, and the adaptation of their behaviour influence both positively and significantly the welfare of traditional Manadonese fishermen and either partially or simultaneously, directly or indirectly, and totally.
