Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the various challenges of the Muara Tanjung Women's Group in optimizing their group's social network collaboration. Based on research results using a qualitative descriptive approach in Sei Nagalawan Village. Information and data through in-depth interviews with selected informants, as well as observation and documentation. Selected informants for the study included group founders, active members, and outside groups. The results of the study show that now this women's group has developed group activities that initially only focused on preserving mangrove forests and then progressing to mangrove ecotourism. This development is inseparable from the implementation of social networking cooperation. However, this has several challenges, including internal and external group challenges. Based on research findings, internal group challenges are more dominant. This is because of the phenomenon that so far group membership has only consisted of family. This could be a potential conflict of interest within the group.
