Land Use Changes in Karama Village as The Impact of Community Economic Activities

Abstract

The fishing settlements in Karama Village have different characteristics from other settlements, because this village still maintains Mandar culture in terms of physical and non-physical aspects such as weaving lipa 'saqbe activities, fisherman cultural rituals, sandeq races, and other cultural rituals that are carried out every year. But as its development, its existence can experience a shift. This condition can occur with the presence of other cultures both intentionally or unconsciously influenced by the economic activities of the community. This study aims to identify shifts in the cultural value of the community in Karama Village, especially in the aspect of community economic activity, through stages of identifying land-use change; analyzing it changes in Karama Village due to community economic activities; formulating an analysis of policy implications for dealing with land-use change problems in Karama Village.
