Abstract
Cilamaya Subdistrict is one of the areas of Karawang Regency located on the coast of the Java Sea directly adjacent to the sea. This area has marine potential, diversity of fishery resources and beach tourism objects that can be developed. This potential has economic value for the welfare of coastal communities. However, despite the diverse potential, the level of welfare in coastal areas is still minimal due to poverty. In general, coastal communities are marginalized not only geographically but also in the internal aspects of the community itself. Therefore, with various social phenomena, development and empowerment are needed in the region. The development of the maritime sector in national economic development has always been in a marginal position (peripheral sector). This study aims to analyze the simultaneous and partial effects of employment, household expenditure, income and assets/ownership variables on welfare. Using the survey method, a sample of 174 people was taken and a questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. This study used primary data and secondary data. The data analysis used was multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that together the variables of employment, household expenditure, income and property have a significant influence on the welfare variable. In some cases, the income and wealth variables have a positive and significant effect on welfare. Meanwhile, the household expenditure variable has a positive but insignificant effect on welfare. The employment variable is negative and has no significant effect on welfare.
