Abstract

Stingless bee honey cultivation in Pangkal Niur Village, Bangka Regency, has demonstrated strong potential to improve local livelihoods while supporting the conservation of the Tukak Customary Forest. Covering approximately 275 hectares, the Tukak Customary Forest serves as a natural habitat for stingless bees and provides a vital nectar source for honey production. This study aims to examine how stingless bee farming contributes to community economic development while maintaining the sustainability of customary forest resources. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, participatory observation at cultivation sites, and relevant documentation. The findings indicate that stingless bee honey farming generates significant economic benefits for local residents, offering relatively stable income despite fluctuating weather conditions. Beyond economic gains, the activity strengthens social networks within the community, fosters social cohesion, and reinforces collective responsibility for forest protection. However, several challenges remain, including threats from natural predators such as monkeys that damage hives, as well as limited cultivation areas, which currently cover only about one hectare of the total forest area. Addressing these challenges requires careful planning, including appropriate zoning and enhanced production capacity through targeted technical training and support from government agencies and related institutions. With improved management, stingless bee honey cultivation can continue to develop as a sustainable economic activity while providing long-term benefits for both the Pangkal Niur community and the preservation of the Tukak Customary Forest.

Abstract

Regional economic growth in resource-dependent regions is often shaped by the performance of primary sectors, particularly agriculture and mining. Although these sectors contribute substantially to regional gross domestic product and employment in Bangka Belitung Province, the socioeconomic determinants of their growth have rarely been examined separately. This study investigates the effects of employment, education, working hours, gender composition, wages, health conditions, and gross fixed capital formation on the growth of the agricultural and mining sectors in Bangka Belitung Province. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression for seven districts and municipalities over the period 2020–2024. The results show that agricultural sector growth is mainly associated with labor availability and health conditions, reflecting the continued importance of labor-based production dynamics. By contrast, mining sector growth exhibits a more complex pattern, with stronger relationships involving employment, workforce quality, health conditions, and formal wage dynamics. These findings indicate that the determinants of growth differ across sectors due to differences in production structure. Accordingly, regional development policies should adopt sector-specific strategies in order to promote more sustainable and inclusive economic growth in resource-based regional economies.
