Abstract
The study aims to describe and explain the role of social capital in the development of fishing business in Makassar Island of Bau-Bau City, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Using qualitative methods, this study demonstrates the important role of social capital in transforming fishing businesses from traditional fishing, which are usually more subsistence-oriented, to fishing businesses with the use of better technology. Social capital in the form of social networks based on kinship is very important in the mobility. For the development of social capital in Makasar Island by adopting Coleman's thought, this research proposes three pillars: the first pillar is strengthening the socio-economic organization so as to facilitate the interests of fishermen. The second pillar, attempts to facilitate the internal organization of fishermen to link external networks. The third pillar is in an effort to encourage social solidarity and trust in fishing communities.
