Abstract

This study examines how HR quality strategies contribute to increased economic growth in Botubarani Village, Kabila Bone District, Bone Bolango Regency, especially in coastal management communities. The Darwis group (a group that promotes tourism awareness), the Conservation group, and the Pokmaswas group (a group that oversees fisheries) were the primary informants in this study. The first sub-focus was intellectual quality (knowledge and abilities), and the second was education. This research is a type of phenomenological research with a qualitative approach. This research is expected to contribute to the development of science, especially in the field of human resource management studies. The research’s contribution can take the shape of ideas on the concept of the quality of human resources, particularly for the coastal management community of Botubarani village, so that it affects the community’s economic development. This study concludes that the human resources of beach managers in Botubarani village, Kabila Bone sub-district, are quite good. However, there are still beach managers who have not adopted technology and whose knowledge of the use of foreign languages is still limited, along with their educational level.
