Track: Product Design and Development

Abstract

Most of fishermen used the traditional boats for their work in East Java. In order to know the characteristics profile of traditional boats, we study in three regencies i.e.: Lamongan, Probolinggo, and Pasuruan in East Java. We presented the characteristics profiles of traditional boats among these 3 regencies by using indicators and dimensions of product quality. We found the differences of traditional boats among these three regencies i.e.: the GT size and the hull construction shape. The results show that the GT size in Lamongan is from 24 to 50 GT sizes on average, whereas in Probolinggo and Pasuruan is below 30 GT ones. The hull shape in Lamongan is uniform with U-shape. Meanwhile, the hull shape in Probolinggo and Pasuruan is varies with U-shape and V-shape. The similarities among these 3 regencies are in the type of fish catching tools, machinery, and equipment. The majority fishermen used Cantrang automatically for larger than 13 GT sizes and net for below 10 GT sizes. In machinery, inboard system is used by vessels for larger than 13 GT. The equipment used is standard, such as: lamp, compass, and audio. By studying the characteristics profile of traditional boats in 3 regencies helps the standardization of traditional boats in Indonesia.
