Inner Model of PLS-SEM on Policy Making about Sound Wave Attractor for Fishery Sustainability

Abstract Piknet is a sound wave-based attractor, that fishermen often use to attract fish closer to the fishing gear, and it is currently being tested on a community of fishermen in Surabaya. This research aims to determine the inner model by analyzing the relationship between latent variables while making policies about innovations by fishermen in Surabaya for fishery sustainability. The analytical method used was PLS-SEM modeling, based on the variance obtained from the latent variable indicators. The inner model of the research results states that to be qualified to predict the relationship between latent variables as a consideration in sustainable fisheries policy making. The influential paths are; (a) adoption and implementation towards confirmation and support, (b) innovation characteristics, (c) communication channels, (d) knowledge and persuasion, and (e) a certain period towards adoption and implementation. The coefficient of determination used to determine the closeness of the relationship shows that the variables of innovation characteristics, communication channels, period, social system, knowledge, and persuasion moderately affect the adoption and implementation variables. The adoption and implementation variables moderately affect the confirmation and support variables. The results of the predictive relevance test state that the adoption and implementation variables, confirmation variables, and support variables.
