Abstract

This study focuses on the development of people's lives in Salissingan Island in terms of
social, economic and political aspects. This study uses a qualitative approach with data
collection techniques through interviews and field observations. The focus of this research is
community life and the development of community life on Salissingan Island. The results of
this study indicate that the life of the early people on Salissingan Island began during the
conflict between the Bajo tribe and the Mandar people around the 19th century. Along with
the development of the condition of the population on the Balabalakang islands including
Salissingan Island, it began to condense, therefore the thought emerged from the residents to
form one village, so in 1994 one village was established. Due to the vastness of the area, in
2008 a second village was formed, the following year the Balabalakang Islands sub-district
was formed in 2008. The Balabalakang Islands were previously included in the administrative
area of the Simboro and Islands sub-districts.
