| Abstrak/Abstract |
Poverty estimations have been carried out using a monetary approach, the poverty line, but
there are always differences in the poverty lines set by the different institutions which measure the
poverty. For this reason, it is necessary to have a multidimensional method of poverty evaluation,
beyond the income levels. This research aimed to integrate the northern coast of Central Java fishermen
poverty measurements by using both approaches, monetary and multidimensional, into a comprehensive
method for the poverty status determination. Poverty measurement from the monetary perspective uses
the poverty line according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO), whereas the multidimensional approach uses the poverty measurement
according to the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). The results showed that there were differences in
the calculation of poverty in fishermen’s households. The integration of poverty analysis showed that
fishermen’s household poverty is influenced by age, education level, household size, ship weight, catch
capacity, fishing time and organizational membership |
