Abstract

Pottery craft in Baanyan Village, South Daha District, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, represents a form of creative economy deeply rooted in the local wisdom of wetland communities, preserved and practiced across generations. This study aims to describe the production process, product types, sustainability challenges, and development opportunities of pottery craft as a wetland-based creative industry. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis conducted directly with artisans at the production site. The findings reveal that the swamp ecosystem provides high-quality clay as the primary raw material through natural river sedimentation processes. Products include ritual burial jars (guci) used for placenta burial ceremonies, traditional cooking stoves (atang), and decorative piggy banks (celengan), with an average production capacity of 100 units per day. The production process is highly dependent on the dry season for drying and firing stages, making indigenous knowledge of seasonal cycles a vital production calendar for local artisans. However, this craft faces serious challenges, including river environmental degradation that threatens raw material availability, a regeneration crisis driven by declining interest among younger generations, and an over-reliance on seasonal middlemen that limits broader market access. On the other hand, the rapid growth of digital platforms and e-commerce presents significant opportunities for expanding markets at both national and global levels. This study contributes to strengthening the discourse on wetland-based creative economy sustainability while offering institutional recommendations to preserve pottery craft as a cultural identity of swamp-dwelling communities

Abstract

Handil Bakti, Barito Kuala Regency  represents a critical intersection between vulnerable tidal wetland ecosystems and increasing urbanization pressures. This study analyzes the relationship between conflictive spatial planning policies, especially the control of street vendors (PKL), and ecological threats in the form of garbage accumulation on the Handil canal system. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method through triangulation of data obtained from direct observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that street vendor control is still top-down and has not been accompanied by the provision of economically strategic relocation locations. This condition caused some street vendors to return to selling in prohibited areas, causing repeated social conflicts between the community and the local government. On the other hand, the dumping of plastic and styrofoam waste into the Handil canal by residents and trade activities causes a blockage of  the two-way flow drainage system  that functions to regulate the circulation of tide. The impact of these conditions can be seen in the increase in waterlogging in residential areas and the disruption of the hydrological function of wetlands, especially during the rainy season and during high tides. These findings show that the problem of spatial planning in wetland areas not only has an impact on the socio-economic aspects of informal communities, but also has direct implications for the increased risk of flooding, the decline in the quality of the residential environment, and the weakening of the ecological function of the Handil canal as a vital infrastructure in the swamp area. Therefore, spatial planning policies in wetland areas need to be designed in an integrated, participatory, and ecology-based manner by paying attention to environmental sustainability as well as the economic sustainability of local communities.
