Abstract Goals to be achieved through this research are as follows: (1) the scientific explanation about the initial conditions of fishing effort in the area of ​​research in this area is South Minahasa; (2) To obtain information on the historical development of the fish processing industry in North Sulawesi and Minahasa south in particular; (3) To be informed of the obstacles and challenges faced by the fisheries sector investors, especially fish processing timber. This research focuses on one unit of the fish processing industry wooden fish processing plant, and then in the case study method is relevant. The case study method is expected that researchers can examine more detailed and focused on problems experienced by fish processing company. As a consequence the results can not be generalized as like which would otherwise require science. Unless some case studies on the same topic on other companies and the result is the same, the efforts generalizations can be made. However the results of the case study can paint a picture on the history, constraints and barriers to investment that occur in similar industries and other industries. The initial condition of fisheries business investment in South Minahasa in 1995 was still dominated by small-scale businesses, which is limited to household livelihoods of fishermen. How governance is still very traditional in terms of business objectives just to meet daily food needs. Wooden fish processing technology already existed and developed since the year 700 BC in Japan. In Indonesia, especially in North Sulawesi started introduced in 1927 by a Japanese man named Hara Ko. The new investment started in 1971 until now. Investment in fish processing faces many obstacles and challenges, namely (1) the limited market share, (2) Legal certainty is not guaranteed, (3) Investors from outside the region and abroad to invest by holding on minimal information about the culture and traditions of local communities (4 ) morale of local residents very traditional if not arguably worse. (5) The investment policy is supported by the local government level only at the Regent while Assiten level, down to the village more displays of terror and intimidation to investors. Keywords: fish factory, investment, history, constraints, obstacles Abstrak Tujuan yang ingin dicapai melalui penelitian ini ialah sebagai berikut: (1) Penjelasan ilmiah tentang kondisi awal usaha perikanan di wilayah penelitian dalam hal ini Daerah Minahasa Selatan. (2) Memperoleh informasi tentang sejarah perkembangan industri pengolahan ikan di Sulawesi Utara dan Minahasa selatan khususnya. (3) Mendapatkan informasi mengenai kendala dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh investor bidang perikanan khususnya pengolahan ikan kayu. Penelitian ini berfokus pada satu unit industri pengolahan ikan yakni pabrik pengolahan ikan kayu, maka metode studi kasus di pandang relevan. Metode studi kasus diharapkan peneliti dapat mengkaji lebih rinci dan fokus pada masalah yang dialami oleh perusahan pengolahan ikan. Sebagai konsekwensinya hasil penelitian tidak dapat digeneralisir sebagai layaknya yang di syaratkan oleh ilmu pengetahuan. Kecuali beberapa studi kasus dengan topik yang sama pada perusahan lain dan hasilnya sama maka upaya generalisasi dapat dilakukan. Walau demikian hasil studi kasus dapat melukiskan gambaran mengenai sejarah, kendala dan hambatan investasi yang terjadi pada industri sejenis dan industri lainnya. Kondisi awal usaha perikanan di wilayah Minahasa selatan pada tahun 1995 ketika investasi pabrik pengolahan ikan kayu di mulai masih didominasi oleh usaha skala kecil, yaitu sebatas mata pencaharian rumah tangga nelayan. Cara kelola pun masih sangat tradisional dalam pengertian tujuan usaha hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan makanan harian. Teknologi pengolahan ikan kayu sudah ada dan berkembang sejak tahun 700 sebelum masehi di Jepang. Di Indonesia khususnya di Sulawesi Utara mulai di perkenalkan pada tahun 1927 oleh orang Jepang bernama Hara Ko. Investasi baru dimulai pada tahun 1971 hingga sekarang. Investasi bidang pengolahan ikan menghadapi banyak kendala dan tantangan, yaitu (1) keterbatasan pangsa pasar, (2) Kepastian hukum tidak terjamin, (3) Investor dari luar daerah dan luar negeri berinvestasi dengan berpegang pada informasi minim mengenai budaya dan tradisi masyarakat lokal (4) moral kerja penduduk lokal amat tradisional jika tidak boleh dikatakan buruk.(5) Kebijakan investasi ditunjang oleh pemerintah daerah hanya pada level Bupati sedangkan level assiten, ke bawah sampai kelurahan lebih banyak menampilkan teror dan intimidasi kepada investor. Kata Kunci : pabrik ikan, investasi, sejarah, kendala, hambatan

In light of the enculturation of landscapes by ethnographically documented hunter-gatherers, we should expect Mesolithic hunter-gatherers to have endowed their early Holocene landscapes with meaning. Attempts to find evidence for this have focussed on the unusual and exotic – those aspects of the archaeological record that seem immediately unrelated to subsistence. In this contribution, I suggest that fireplaces, ubiquitous on Mesolithic sites and often swiftly passed over in site reports as evidence for cooking alone, had played a key role in the process of landscape enculturation. Although we cannot reconstruct the specific meanings once attached to early Holocene landscapes, by appreciating the social and cultural significance of fireplaces we gain a more holistic view of the Mesolithic than is currently the case, whether in those studies that focus on settlement and subsistence or those that cite examples of ritual. In the course of making this argument, I summarise the evidence for fireplaces from Mesolithic Britain, noting the need for more systematic reporting. Finally, I provide a case study from western Scotland that seeks to view a suite of fireplaces in the context of the landscape topography, early Holocene environments, subsistence economy, and by drawing on selected ethnographic analogies.

Rembang Regency is one of the biggest catching fish producing regions in Central Java. Abundant marine fisheries products encourage the development of processed fish products. There are 2,740 Fish Processing Units, but most are still dominated by small and medium scale areas. Activities in the fish processing unit have a positive impact on the economy of the community, but on the side it raises new problems such as a decrease in environmental quality. Indonesia through Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management includes participatory principles as one of the principles in the formulation of every policy related to the environment. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation and perception in environmental management in the fish processing unit in Kaliori District. This research is descriptive qualitative. The data used are primary and secondary data. The results obtained indicate that the community's perception of environmental management is quite good, but community participation in environmental management in the area of fish processing units in Kaliori District is still relatively low

Abstract Increased competition has demanded the adaptation of SMEs to environmental changes and challenges for the success of companies in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategy and contingency power of SMEs of fish processing units in reaching the level of sustainability. The object of the research is the SMEs of fish processing units in Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi. This type of research is qualitative, which is descriptive by using case study techniques. Data collection techniques through field observations, in-depth interviews, and related documents. The results of this study indicate that the sustainability level of SMEs of the boneless milkfish processing unit in Pinrang Regency is proactive towards the continuity of production, continuity of sales, and continuity of raw material procurement. The sustainability of SMEs of fish processing units is shown by its ability to surf in chaotic dynamics. SMEs of fish processing units which have a high level of sustainability has been able to build an input process-output system dynamically so that it has contingency power and appropriate strategies in dealing with environmental dynamics. The contributing factor to the unsustainability of SMEs of fish processing units is the low ability to; build systems to be able to establish contingencies with the external environment. To improve and maintain its level of sustainability, the SMEs of fish processing units are improving the input-process-output system dynamically, optimizing contingency power with the task environment as well as with the political, economic, social, cultural, technological and natural environment.

This paper aims to provide an indigenous knowledge system on the weather and hydrology system of the fishermen in the Southwest coastal area which is based on the research data in two specific communities: An Thuy commune (Ba Tri district, Ben Tre province) and Song Doc town (Tran Van Thoi district, Ca Mau province). The research results show that this knowledge is rich, diverse, and has been accumulated by the community for generations, especially to enable them to forecast the weather to preserve assets and lives during fish processing activities. The knowledge of the community related to weather and hydrology includes the insight of monsoon, water and storms. Offshore fishermen mastering each of this knowledge items can predict the weather to avoid the risks of sudden storms by choosing an optimal or preventive plan. This study is based on the data collected from qualitative research methods, including ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews with experienced fishermen together with field notes in two areas of An Thuy commune, and Song Doc town. Besides, the paper recommends a proper proposal to preserve this knowledge in current conditions. The research results of this paper have shown the differences in local knowledge of those communities due to the weather and hydrological characteristics of the two Southeast and Southwest regions of the East Sea.
