The Institutional Social Role for Maritim Village's Food Stability

Abstract

This study aims to explore social networks and interactions between networks in strengthening food stability in maritime villages in coastal areas. The geographical condition of the region has become one of the triggers for food instability and food security problems in coastal areas. This study uses the method of Social Network Analysis (SNA). Data processing uses R to visualize the role of stakeholder centrality. The analysis used is the analysis of baseline network, degree, and betweenness centrality. The value of modularity is an indicator of increasing or decreasing community networks. The number of nodes and links identifies the actors in the network and the interactions between actors. The results showed that social networks have an essential role in food stability. The private sector is a key actor in food stability in maritime villages. Is indicated by the modularity value of 0.43 (>0), which connects to 30 social network nodes and 62 links to food stability in maritime villages in the coastal area of Bintan Regency.
