Nelayan tradisional di Pulau Masalembu, Kabupaten Sumenep,rnmengandalkan jaringan komunikasi informal untuk berbagi informasi arus laut danrnmenyelesaikan konflik pemanfaatan rompong, karena akses komunikasi formal dirnwilayah kepulauan ini masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisisrnbagaimana jaringan komunikasi informal tersebut terbentuk di kalangan nelayanrnPulau Masalembu.Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metodernstudi kasus. Data dikumpulkan dari 205 responden di Desa Masalima dan DesarnSukajeruk melalui kuesioner dan sosiometri, dengan teknik proportional stratifiedrnrandom sampling. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan SocialrnNetwork Analysis (SNA) melalui aplikasi UCINET 64, meliputi Degree Centrality,rnBetweenness Centrality, Network Density, dan Clustering Coefficient.rnHasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jaringan informasi arus laut memilikirnkepadatan rendah, namun tetap menjangkau seluruh nelayan berkat peran beberaparnaktor kunci sebagai penghubung utama yang dipercaya, meski jarang diverifikasirnsecara formal. Sementara itu, jaringan pengelolaan rompong memiliki kepadatanrnpaling rendah tetapi hubungan antar desa paling tinggi, terhubung lewatrnpenghubung tunggal, dan berfungsi tidak hanya untuk bertukar informasi tetapi jugarnmenyelesaikan konflik melalui musyawarah dengan nelayan senior sebagairnmediator.Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kedua jaringan komunikasi informalrntersebut tetap efektif berkat peran aktor sentral dan kepercayaan yang terbangunrndalam jangka panjang, serta berperan penting dalam menjaga keselamatan danrnkeharmonisan sosial nelayan di wilayah kepulauan terpencil.


Deskripsi Lain

Traditional fishermen on Masalembu Island, Sumenep Regency, rely onrninformal communication networks to share information about sea currents andrnresolve conflicts over the use of rompong (fish aggregating devices), due to limitedrnaccess to formal communication systems in this remote archipelago. This studyrnaims to analyze how informal communication networks are formed amongrntraditional fishermen on Masalembu Island. The study employed a quantitativernapproach with a case study method. Data were collected from 205 respondents inrnMasalima and Sukajeruk villages through questionnaires and sociometricrnmeasurement, using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were analyzedrnusing descriptive statistics and Social Network Analysis (SNA) with UCINET 64rnsoftware, covering Degree Centrality, Betweenness Centrality, Network Density,rnand Clustering Coefficient.rnThe results show that the informal network for sea current information hasrnlow density but still reaches all fishermen through several key actors who serve asrntrusted main connectors, despite the fact that formal verification is rarelyrnconducted. Meanwhile, the informal network for rompong management has thernlowest density but the highest proportion of cross-village connections, linkedrnthrough a single connector chain, and functions not only to exchange informationrnbut also to resolve conflicts through deliberation involving senior fishermen asrnmediators. The study concludes that both informal communication networks,rndespite their low density, remain effective due to the role of central actors and long-rnterm trust, and play an important role in maintaining the safety and social harmonyrnof traditional fishermen in remote island areas.
