Economic Condition of Pelra Port Hinterland in Pangkajene Islands Regency of South Sulawesi Island

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hinterland is needed by the port as a provider of commodities to be loaded at the port, while the port functions to facilitate the activities of shipping goods outside the region and importing goods from abroad / region to the hinterland, through shipping lanes. The Pelra Port Hinterland area in the four outermost sub-districts in the Pangkajene and Islands Regency still faces serious economic challenges, namely the lack of utilization of existing potentials to improve the economy. This is due to limited access to these areas, while Pelra transportation lacks the cargo to keep operating. This paper aims to assess the economic potential of the Pelra Port Hinterland, namely in the four outermost sub-districts in the Pangkajene and Islands Regency and determine appropriate development strategies. The results of this study indicate that some of the strategies that need to be carried out are improving the skills of local communities in managing fishery resources, providing seeds for aquaculture and seaweed, and developing transportation facilities and infrastructure.
