【 摘 要 】

During half of the century, the livelihood of the islanders of Pari, Seribu Island rapidly changing. The external factors which drive islander to only adjust and survive namely ecological change and tenurial insecurity. The degradation of water quality shifted islanders from sea to land, in land the islander face another challenge, the absence of tenurial insecurity led them to have protracted dispute against corporation whose land entitled and state that give legal justification over the corporation claim on their private land. This study case which using rational choice theory trying to describe the pattern of change on islanders's livelihood and analyse the factors that put the islanders in the state of anxiousness against future exclusion against them after long period of inhabiting the island. The study indicates that the absence of norms on the limited available resources and the absence of institutionalized collective actions put the islanders in jeopardy from exclusion and marginalization. To avoid further marginalization, it is urgent to formulate the contra-exclusion movement as a foundation for strong institutionalized collective action and specific affirmative policy on small island's limited available resources.
