Abstract

In Banate area of Iloilo state, Philippine, majority of people are engaged in fishery. People earn as much as 70% of their income from fishery sector in our research fields, namely Barangay Aracaygan and San Francisco. It’s hard for them to manage in proper way both resource management and livelihood strategy due to small income of household. Therefore, particularly in San Francisco, they have made much effort to set up some community-based organizations and have done some activities to improve their income. The organizations are founded upon their network and their trust ship. In this paper, the argument will be put forward to discuss their improvement of the livelihood strategy by comparing their activities of community-based organizations and characteristic of their social network.
