Abstract

The lives of people on the Java Coast are rarely exposed in the context of social science studies in Indonesia, especially studies around the social life of the community. This paper aims to uncover the story of Tagog or Land Workers in the Environment of Javanese Coastal Fishermen. The research method used was qualitative with a case study design. The data sources of this study are informants, amounting to 20, divided into three categories, namely 10 Land Workers, 5 Fishermen, and 5 Communities outside the two. The results of this study can be explained that it has been known since the last 20 years, the activity of fishermen on Pedalen Beach has increased, both in terms of the number of fishermen and ships. Fishermen organize themselves by forming a cooperative called Mina Pawurni. In carrying out daily activities, Pedalen Beach fishermen experience environmental barriers, because the Java Coast is famous for its high waves. The social welfare of fishermen is also relatively low because the wages or fees given to Tagog are voluntary. Interestingly, Tagog also has an expression in art, Sintren is one of the folk arts that is the entertainment of Tagog. Besides having a high philosophy, Sintren reflects the life of Tagog on the Java Coast.
