Abstract

This paper is an outcome of research concerning spatial differences in forms and coverage of land use in the Progo River Basin. At present the watershed is facing the problem of land use changes from agricultural to non-agriultural ones, leading to the situation of decreasing staple foods. This research is aimed at studying regional variation in the potentials of the research area of the production of staple foods according toland use forms and coverage. Informastion on land use forms and coverage are obtained from the statistical record issued by the Statistical Office of Central Java province and Yogyakarta Speial Provine. As the productivity data on every land use forms are not readily available, the assement on the regional potential is executed on the basis of land use intensity and its apability to produce staple foods. The research reveals that the greatest portion (59 %) of lands in 54 subdistrict in the watershed are highly potential for staple foods production and the rest (41 %) are not potential to moderately potential for staple foods production purpose. The potential for staple foods production in the upper part of the Progo river basin are higher than that in lower part ones. The presence on irrigated land is not always highly potential for staple food production. Although the availability of irrigation water is strongly decisive factor for food prodution (r = 0.661 significant at 99.99 percent), but the presence of built up areas are strongly dictated the potential for food production (r = -0,787 significant at 99.99 percent). The research further shows that the higher the potential for food production, the higher population size (r = 0.791) significant at 99.99 percent). In general it can be concluded that 1) the potentials for food production are determined by the available of irrigation water and the size of the built areas, and 2) the number of population is dictated by the presence of water and potentials for food production.

Abstract

The conzequence low income of the farmer household in agricultural sector is the increase in their activities as miner of sand and stone. It means for increasing of their household income. However, how important mining role on the increasing of household income has to be studied in deeply. The factual problem is the base for research aims, with the spesific stress on studying socio-economic characteristic of sand and stone miner, and the contribution of the mining income to household income. This research was carried out in Progo catchment area, Yogyakarta Special Region. Survey method was employed by data collecting from respondents. The respondents are head of households (HH) working as sand and stone miner. Sampling technique was proportionally simple random sampling in which 120 HH was taken as respondents sample. They were representatives of upper part, middle part, and lower part of Progo catchments area. Data on socio-economic structure of the household and household income were collected by mean of structured interview. Data analysis was performed through descriptive technique in which frequencies and cross tabulation varians statistic, and multiple regression analysis were mostly used. The research shows that there are relatively similarities on socio-economic characteristic of sand and stone miners, between at lower part, middle part with upper part of Progo catchments area. This existing of sand and stone mining employs about 70% labours are local miners and 30% labours came from out of the area. Landless farmers who land own less than 500 m2 characterize them. The most of them are male, withlow formal education, and as small family (4 people evey HH). Some of them have been as sand and stone miners for more than 4 years. Generally, they work less than 8 hours for mining every day. This research is also finding that the income of the sand and stone miners are seasonal. The averages of mining income on dry season (Rp 571,880 per month) are higher than on wet season (Rp 365,620 per month). The most important factor affecting income in this activity is the working hours spent. In average, the miner’s monthly income is Rp 468,760 is much higher than minimum level of basic need in Yogyakarta Special Region (Rp 328,750 per month). It means that sand and stone miner as a second occupation besides as a farmer increases household income be capable to satisfy the need of household economy. In general, it can be concluded that the activity has an important role on the increasing of household income.

Abstract

One of the impacts of coastal region development is settlement change. Because of that, this article presents a result of research about changing of settlement land area, house buildings, settlement facilities since 1996 up to 2003, and several factors which influence to the changing. This research was carried out in 20 karst villages borders on Indian Ocean so-called coastal villages in of Gunungkidul Regency as analysis units. Data analysis employs so-called secondary data analysis method, using Village Potentials Cencus (PODES) data were published in Statistics Central Bureau. Data analysis employs frequency, cross tabulations, and statistical analysis. Result of this research shows that as long as 1996 up to 2003 the settlement land area increases on 0.24 % per annum on an average, while the house building number on 6.14 % per annum. Spatially several coastal rural villages are near or as a tourism object or as a district office locations are higher developing than the others of coastal rural villages. It means that the development of tourism objects as long as 1996 up to 2003 has influenced the coastal rural settlement development. Generally, the development of coastal rural settlement is significantly also influenced by thirteen of physical and socio-economical factors (R=0.903; Sig.=0.05). In detail however, among the 13th of physical and socio-economical factors are only five factors significant influence to the development of coastal rural settlement. The 5th factors are the average of place elevation, well number, propotion of agriculteral land area, household densty, and population density. Based on that findings in order to develope of coastal rural settlement especially in karst region, besides the development of tourism objects, the five factors should be taken in consideration.

Abstract

General purposes of this research was to assess perceptions and participation inutilization, prevention of mangrove forests damage, to look for an alternativedirection for mangrove forest management to the societies surrounding. Datacollection using surveys, through interviews with a sample of respondents were90 families (KK) or 25 percent of the total population of 358 families. The resultsshowed that the population majority (48.8%) had moderate category knowledgeabout the benefits, the damage effect after use, and the need for prevention ofmangrove forests damage. Most of the population (53.6%) had a low perceptionof the category. This is influenced by the knowledge level of mangrove forests (c= 12.71; significance 0.013). Local government policy to mangrove forestsmanagement, responded negatively by the local community. This was caused bythe absence of mangrove forest management efforts clearly and firmly. Localgovernment should immediately develop a plan of integrated mangrove forestsmanagement, and immediately disseminated to the public around the mangroveforests.

Abstract

Artikel ini menyajikan hasil penelitian aspek partisipasi masyarakat dalam usaha pengelolaan hutan mangrove,di Desa Kuala Karang, Kecamatan Teluk Pakedai, Kabupaten Kubu Raya, Propinsi kalimantan Barat. Tujuanpenelitian secara umum untuk mengkaji persepsi dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan, pencegahankerusakan hutan mangrove, untuk mencari alternatif arahan pengelolaan hutan mangrove dari aspek sosial ekonomimasyarakat di sekitarnya. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode survei, dengan melakukan wawancara terhadapsample responden sebanyak 90 kepala keluarga (KK), atau 25 persen dari seluruh jumlah populasi sebanyak 358KK. Penentuan sample responden menggunakan teknik acak sederhana. Namun karena data 6 responden tidakvalid maka analisis data primer hanya dilaksanakan dari 84 sampel responden. Dalam analisis data menggunakanteknik tabulasi frekuensi, tabulasi silang, dan uji kai kuadrat dilengkapi uji koefisien kontingensi, untuk mengetahuibeberapa pengaruh pengetahuan dan persepsi masyarakat, terhadap partisipasi mereka dalam pengelolaan hutanmangrove. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar penduduk (48,8%) memiliki pengetahuan kategorisedang tentang manfaat, kerusakan akibat pemanfaatan, dan perlunya pencegahan kerusakan hutan mangrove.Pentingnya manfaat hutan mangrove, kerusakan akibat pemanfaatan, dan perlunya pencegahan kerusakan; secaraumum belum dipersepsikan secara positip oleh penduduk setempat. Sebagian besar penduduk (53,6%) memilikipersepsi pada kategori rendah. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pengetahuan tentang hutan mangrove (c = 12,71;signifikansi 0,013). Meskipun demikian partisipasi mereka dalam pemanfaatan dan pencegahan kerusakan hutanmangrove; sebagian besar termasuk kategori sedang. Tingkat partisipasi penduduk dalam pengelolaan hutan mangrove,sangat dipengaruhi oleh status sosial ekonomi (c = 7,77; signifikansi 0,014), pengetahuan tentang hutan mangrove(c = 17,94; signifikansi 0,019), dan tingkat persepsi terhadap hutan mangrove (c = 14,57; signifikansi 0,007).Artinya, bahwa perbedaan-perbedaan tingkat status sosial ekonomi, pengetahuan tentang hutan mangrove, danpersepsi terhadap hutan mangrove; diikuti oleh perbedaan-perbedaan tingkat partisipasi penduduk dalam usahapelestarian hutan mangrove. Kebijakan pemerintah daerah untuk pengelolalaan hutan mangrove, ditanggapi secaranegatip oleh masyarakat setempat. Hal itu disebabkan oleh belum adanya usaha pengelolaan hutan mangrove secarajelas dan tegas. Berdasar temuan tersebut maka aspek-aspek sosial ekonomi masyarakat setempat, perlu digunakansebagai salah satu dasar pengelolaan hutan mangrove. Pemerintah daerah seyogyanya segera menyusun rencanapengelolaan hutan mangrove secara terpadu, dan segera disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat di sekitar hutan mangrove.

Abstract

Popular participation is a determinant indicator of reforestation. The important of it is due to the fact, that the people who will take the conservation innovation, adopt the technology, and bear the impact of conservation. However, there are many cases indicate the failure of reforestation project because of low popular participation. In this regard, this research is conducted to expose spatially the people knowledge, perception, and participation on reforestation. This research is carried out in the Gunungkidul district employing survey method primary data is collected from 180 rspondents are households who as participant of reforestation project, and household who are classified as self sufficient. The respondent sample is selected on the basis of stratified random sampling, according to physiography and the existing of forestation programme of the area. Three villages sample selected in this research are 1) Tegalrejo, in the physiography of Baturagung Range; 2) Gedangrejo, in the physiography of Wonosari Plateau; 3) Banjarejo, in the physiography of Gunungsewu Mountain. The measurement of people knowledge, perception, and participation on reforestation is performed through Likert Scale technique. Data analysis makes use of tabulation statistic technique espeially t test, variance, and rank correlation.The result of research shows that most people gain the reforestation knowledge from Foresty Extension Service or RLKT, whereas the knowledge of the larger part of self sufficient household comes from village officers. Though the category of their degree of knowledge are high, however there are quiet different according to physiography area. This fact determines the level of popular participation in the perspective physiography unit. It means that the higher the degree of knowledge on reforestation leads to the higher the perception on forestation. Moreover, the different in physiography of the area, or participation in the project determines also the difference in perception. The degree of popular participation on self sufficient reforestation or reforestation project is high. Popular participation is varied to either physiography condition or among participant of reforestation project. Participation of participant of reforestation project is higher than participation of self sufficient group.  The difference in the involvement of every reforestation of ativities (planning, implementation, and the use of out come) is  a direct consequence of the different in physical as well as socio – economic condition of the community. Physical constraints of up land area, and low level of socio – economic condition, have stimulated popular participation on reforestation. In addition, the level of popular participation is very much influenced by knowledge on reforestation and perception on reforestation. This means that, the higher the knowledge of farmer on implementation and utilization of reforestation and the higher the farmer perception on reforestation programme, then the higher the level of farmer participation on reforestation in eah different physiography.

Abstract

Utilization of marine resource is one of type of farmer coping with critical land in coastal 47% The consequence of this, is the change in their occupation status from the farmer to fisherman However the change does not always mains that their poverty status may also changes. This factual problem is the base for research objectives, with the main emphasis on understanding farmer motives of changing occupation to fisherman, process variation of occupation change, and the impact of this process to household incomeThe research was carried out in six coastal village of Gunungkidul Distric. Survey method was employed by collecting data from respondents. The population of respondents amounted to 341 households (HH) working as fisherman Sampling technique was proportionally simple random in which 120 HH was taken as mpondents sample. They were representazivis of Kanigoro, Pucung, Kemadang, Ngestiharjo, Sidoharjo, and Purwodadi villages. Data on socio economic structure of the household, the process of occupation change, and household income were collected by mean of structured interview. Data analysis was performed through descriptive technique in which frequencies and cross tabulation were mostly used.The research results indicate that the motive of local farmer to become fisherman are various, but the main motive (81,7%) to increase household income. The major cause of this is physical environment pressure of the area (ie. critical land and backward village). This leads fiirmer to low level of accissebility to socio-economic infiasructure, and low level of economic status or very poor category. The majority of farmer (58,3%) carried out transitional occupation befiare becoming fisherman. This encompass activities as fishing or collecting sea shell and lsea algaemn the sea front Intermediary activitis being perfimned a form of adaptation to marine environment (sea water) from agricultural land environment. This means that most farmers search and gain skill and experiences related to fishery. Occupation change from farmer to fisherman has significant impact in the betterment of income. In average, the fisherman monthly income is Rp 531,375 which is much higher than the minimum level of basic need in Yogyakarta Povince (Rp 266,870.). In the other word the occupation change from farmer to fisherman driven by motive to increasses household income is proven to be capable to statisfy the need if household economy.

Abstract

The acceleration urbanization has resulted in the growing number of housing in the rural area of surrounding city. As a consequence the size of converted agriculture land is also getting larger. However, the distribution of housing development and the impact on agriculture land have not yet been explored thoroughly through research. Therefore, this research aims at exposing rural-urbanization around city, housing development, and the conversion degree of agriculture land for housing. This research was carried out in the rural area around Yogyakarta city. It encompassed administrative divisions of Sleman and Bantul Districts. The research method is based on secondary data analysis. Several data are among other on population growth and housing distribution of 269 locations within the two districts. Data analysis employs of frequency and cross tabulation, statistics of regression and t test. Result of the research shows that rural-urbanization in around Yogyakarta has been so high. The proportion of rural-urbanized area has increased from 8.7 percents in 1980 to 43.5 percents in 1990, and 66.5 percents in the year of 2000. Similarly, the proportion of rural-urbanized population has increased from 13.2 percents in 1980 to 54.7 percents in 1990, and within 10 years (2000) it becomes 75.3 percents. Housing development of the rural area at the surrounding city was started with only 7 housing locations consisted of 59 units of building in 1973 to be 269 housing locations with 35.356 units of building in 2000. The rate of increase of the building 1.349 units per anum. The spatial and temporal characteristics of housing development of rural and urban area are different. In northern part of Yogyakarta, housing development has been growing since 1973 with the rate of growth 601 units per anum. In southern side of Yogyakarta, housing development in the rural area of Yogyakarta has been growing since 1980 with the rate of growth of 967 units per anum. Analysis result shows that number of construction in all housing site will reach 72.775 units in the year of 2025, out of wich 22.878 units will be in Bantul and 49.897 units in Sleman. The impact of the housing development is the conversion of mostly agriculture land, i.e. paddy field (67%), and only a small percentage are dry land and homestead. Within the last 27 years there has been 1,232.93 hectares of land conversion i.e. 1,068.45 hectares in Sleman and 164.47 hectares in Bantul. The rate of conversion in Sleman is 41.09 hectares per anum, whereas in Bantul it is 9.67 hectares per anum. It is predicted that land conversion in around Yogyakarta City in 2025 will be doubled to be 2.464 hectares. The distribution of this conversion will be dominant in Sleman, i.e. 2.123 hectares as compared to 341 hectares in Bantul.

Abstract

Masalah yang sering terjadi dalam evaluasi sumberdaya lahan permukiman, adalah ketidakseimbangan antara kesesuaian secara fisik lahan, dengan kesesuaian secara sosio-ekonomis. Di samping itu permasalahan yang muncul, adalah dalam penentuan batas yang berbeda ada satuan lahan. Satuan lahan secara fisik menggunakan dasar batas fisik, sedangkan secara sosio-ekonomis mengikuti satuan luasan mendasarkan pada batas administratif. Demikian juga adanya perbedaan ketersediaan data, yakni data aspek fisik bersifat kuantitatif sedangkan data sosio-ekonomis bersifat kuantitatif, sehingga merupakan masalah dalam analisisnya. Oleh karenanya, didalam teknik penentuan batas satuan lahan, serta teknik analisis kuantitatif data sosio-ekonomis memerlukan teknik kuantifikasi data kualitatif. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan batas administratif desa untuk satuan sosio-eknomis lahan dapat digunakan secara tepat, walaupun satuan lahan secara fisik bervariasi secara rinci. Penggunaan data sekunder potensi desa, baik di pedesaan ataupun perkotaan dari aspek sosio-eknomis cukup representatif untuk mendukung evaluasi sumberdaya lahan permukiman baik pedesaan maunpun perkotaan.
