2.3  Fisherman Poverty in Indonesia 
The study conducted by Agunggunanto (2011) using 
OLS regression and logit regression showed some 
conclusions as folllows having experience as 
fisherman directly and indirectly influence output of 
catching fish and get implication to fisherman 
income. On the other hand, total of family burden, use 
of technology, boot ownership, and cooperation 
assistance (dummy variabel) as factors  influencing 
fisherman income and poverty in Demak, Central 
Java. 
Another study conducted by Hamdani and 
Wulandini (2013) summarized that factors 
influencing traditional fisherman poverty in Muncar 
subdistrict are low education, productivity, fisherman 
behavioral and habitual in using income which is less 
intention for future needs, capital ownership, use of 
technology and it is not financial institution yet which 
has role in serving fisherman needs, distributing fish 
and facilitating fisherman needs.   
Then, there is also previous study that related to 
this study by Muflikhati et al. (2010) who conducted 
research in four subdistrict in beach area West Java, 
they are Gebang subdsitrict (Cirebon) Kandanghaur 
subdistrict (Indramayu) as representative for north 
beach area, and also Pelabuhanratu subdistrict 
(Sukabumi) and Pangandaran subdistrict (Ciamis) as 
representative for south beach area. Using sample 276 
family. The result of study implied that if using 
economic measure, so fisherman family is more 
prosperity than non fisherman family. On the 
contrary, if prosperity is measured by lot of 
dimension, so fisherman family is lower than non. 
Generally, factors influencing prosperity are familiy 
burden, education, asset, income, and expenditure per 
capita. 
Based on literature review toward previous 
empirical studies regarding poverty alleviaton 
especially in fisherman poverty known that is still 
limited related to model of
  Islamic Microfinance. 
Whereas, if this model is developed will able to help 
life quality for fisherman particularly for those who 
are a muslim. Besides that, Islamic microfiance 
model will give financial access coincide with moral 
injection in economic activities.

between fisherman who has access to 
financial institution and not.  
Ho:  There is difference average income 
between fisherman who has access to
