<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the Utilization of Traditional Sea Transportation in supporting community activities in Ponelo Kepulauan District, North Gorontalo Regency. With a focus on research namely availability, affordability, and security. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive research type. Data collection techniques used are: observation techniques, interviews and recording of secondary data. The results of the study show that seen from the aspect of availability, it is still lacking or not yet supportive. Because the number of traditional sea transportation owned by the community is still limited, and there are still many traditional sea transportation that do not use engines as a propulsion device. Judging from the affordability aspect, it is still lacking or not yet supportive. Because there are still some people who use traditional sea transportation complain about the amount of payment set by boat owners or traditional sea transportation. Because the costs or tariffs are very high and burdensome for users of traditional sea transportation. Judging from the security aspect, it is still lacking or not yet supported. Due to the condition of the boat used for traditional sea transportation in the Ponelo Islands, it is less comfortable and very worrying for the user community. So it can be concluded that sea transportation in supporting community activities is not sufficient so that an increase in the transportation fleet becomes the security and safety of the community. Therefore, the government's attention is also needed to assist the community in procuring adequate means of transportation.]]>
