Abstract
The study aims to analyze community-based entrepreneurship in coastal communities to see the impacts on the environment and economic empowerment. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design tha was a case study. The research subjects were pindang makers, while the informants were home industry instructors and the community of Tambaksari Village. The study applied four data collections techniques, namely observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documents. To check the validity of the data, triangulation was utilized. Furthermore, the study used qualitative data analysis techniques as the basis for analyzing the data that had been obtained. The results of the study indicated that empowerment through community-based entrepreneurship optimized the creativity of all components in coastal communities, created new jobs, and preserved local cultures as well as environment. The community-based entrepreneurship increased the community income so that it could encourage an economic independence and improve quality of life without ignoring local wisdoms in environmental management. In short, the community-based entrepreneurship model could be applied in the coastal areas of Central Java.
