SOCIOECONOMIC MODEL OF SHELLFISH RESOURCES IN SEMBILANG NATIONAL PARK BANYUASIN REGENCY SOUTH SUMATRA

Abstract

The Sembilang National Park area has blood cockle (Anadara granosa) resources. Catching blood cockles is done traditionally, namely using hands at low tide. To maintain shellfish resources, it is necessary to analyze the factors that influence socioeconomic catches. The aim of this research is to calculate and analyze the factors that influence and determine the best socio-economic model for shellfish resources in Sembilang National Park. This research was carried out in February 2022 in the waters of Sembilang National Park. Determining the number of respondents and collecting data in this study used the incidental sampling method and data collection was carried out by interviews using questionnaires. Model assumption testing includes normality test, linearity test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test and autocorrelation test. Best fit model uses a multiple linear regression equation approach with the backward analysis regression method, namely Y = -1456.315 + 0.116X1 + 1.514 X2 + 2.547 X3 - 12.558 X 7 + ε. Factors that influence the number of catches of shellfish resources in Sembilang National Park, Banyuasin Regency are the selling price of shellfish, operating costs, income and number of dependents.
