Kesadaran Hukum Masyarakat dalam Implementasi Kebijakan Asuransi Nelayan di Kabupaten Bulukumba/The Community Legal Awareness in Implementing Fishermen's Insurance Policies in Bulukumba Regency

Abstract

Fishing is one of the jobs that have a high risk. The protection of this work sometimes almost escapes the attention of the government. This study aims to describe the application of legal protection to fishermen in Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi. This article is based on doctrinal law research with a statutory approach and a concept approach. The results of this study indicate that the protection of fishermen in Bulukumba district has been carried out using an insurance system since 2016. Insurance premiums are borne by the local government which has been budgeted through the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget. The obstacle to implementing this policy is the legal culture of the people who are reluctant to enroll in programs implemented by the government. In addition, the lack of socialization to the community is also a driver of the weakening of public legal awareness of the urgency of self-insurance when carrying out activities at sea.
