Dumai City is one of the cities in Riau Province, Indonesia, located in the coastal area. As an industrial and trade city, the fisheries sector in Dumai City is under intense pressure due to this marine activity. On the other hand, Dumai City has the second highest Human Development Index (HDI) value in Riau Province after Pekanbaru City. The high HDI status of Dumai City makes it attractive to study whether it is directly proportional to the HDI value of the fishermen community and its socioeconomic sustainability status. The survey method was used in this study. This study aims to analyze the sustainability status of Dumai City’s fisheries from social and economic aspects by considering HDI indicators in health, education, and economic aspects. This study uses two analysis methods: the calculation of HDI and sustainability status using Rapfish. The HDI value of the Dumai City fishermen community is 69,35. These results show that the condition of the Dumai fishermen community is still relatively low when measured by the HDI indicator. If examined based on sustainability analysis, the social and economic aspects of the Dumai City fishermen community are 39,56, with a less sustainable status.
