Pengembangan Tempat Pelelangan Ikan Sumpang Binangae Di Kabupaten Barru

Abstract

The development of the Sumpang Binangae Fish Auction Place (TPI) in Barru Regency is an effort to improve fisheries facilities to support auction activities, catch distribution, and coastal economic growth. The Sumpang Binangae TPI has a strategic role as a landing and marketing center for fishermen's catches, with production reaching 186.8 tons in 2024 worth around IDR 2.8 billion. However, the existing condition of the TPI still faces various obstacles, such as limited main facilities in the form of a dock, ice factory, cold storage, management office, inadequate drainage system, irregular parking arrangement, physical damage to buildings, and spatial zoning that has not been arranged according to fishing port standards. This study aims to analyze the need for development of the Sumpang Binangae TPI from type D to type C in order to increase service capacity and operational efficiency. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach through field observations, literature studies, analysis of fishery production data, and a review of regulations related to fishing ports. The results show that the development of the TPI is needed through the provision of supporting facilities that meet standards, structured spatial planning, and improving the quality of infrastructure to create a more effective, hygienic, and sustainable fish auction area. This development is expected to strengthen the role of TPI Sumpang Binangae as a distribution center for fishery products and a driver of the local economy in Barru Regency and the Ajatappareng area.
