【 摘 要 】

Natural resources are no guarantee to make a rich and welfare community. With abundant coastal resources, islanders in Poteran Island have limited houselhold welfare. More than 70% of households are poor and uneducated. In terms of production, the production chain in the island is also limited to selling raw products that are in fact making less profit for the communities. Dependency to loan shark is also one of other tragic situations, placing the fishermen in a powerless community groups. To change this current situation, making local-preneurship is the initial stage of developing a self-sustaining small island. The making of local-preneurship is integrated with the introduction of appropriate technologies. Selecting the appropriate technologies is a key step in this stage. To ensure the new technologies are appropriate, the new technologies should be tested in a serial training. The observation on the participants' behaviour will be the basis of evaluation process by using scoring method. Through training, observation, and scoring process, the two tools (fish smoker tool and cracker slicers) are perceived as appropriate technologies for the communities. These tools that are believed can increase the economic profit for fisheries community in the island.
