【 摘 要 】

As a maritime country, Indonesia also faces global warming effects i.e. sea levels rising and extreme weather changes. Both those situations directly affect economic conditions of the coastal communities who generally work as fishers. Thus, the fisher has to develop a new method to manage and sustain their livelihood. This paper then tries to review a self-reporting concept from the social-accounting field and make some adjustment for it by using discourse analysis and analogical-construction method, in order to make a self-reporting concept becomes applicable for sustaining the livelihood of Indonesia coastal societies. In brief, this article indicates five keys of livelihood accounts: natural, human, social, financial and physical assets, and two accounts of external forces that affect the livelihood of fishers: institutions, and vulnerability. All of these accounts have to be used by the fishers in their self-reporting and life-managing for getting a sustainable life in the coastal area.
