Abstract

Kerinci Seblat National Park in Bengkulu, Indonesia, was gazetted by the Indonesian government, and its overlaps with forests occupied by most indigenous communities made their farming activities in the area illegal. People were prohibited from accessing and expanding their farming areas in the national park, threatening their livelihoods. The livelihood diversity index (LDI) and livelihood asset index (LAI) were used to explore the livelihood systems of these communities. This study also examines the effect of livelihood assets on livelihood diversity and analyzes livelihood strategy choices using Giddens’ structuration theory. A quantitative survey combined with in-depth interviews was conducted in two villages with different land types: wetlands (rice fields) and drylands (farmlands). This study found that the communities diversified their livelihoods into eight types of livelihood strategies. Almost all livelihood indicators were different, and the differences in livelihood asset indicators affected the LDI. As a process of structuration, communities have diversified their livelihoods into farm (e.g., annual and perennial crops), off-farm (e.g., farm wages), and non-farm (e.g., services and government transfer) activities. Rural households have modified their social and physical structures to secure their livelihoods by optimizing agricultural intensification technologies or by seeking non-agricultural income. Households decide whether to specialize or diversify their livelihoods based on factors such as the area of cultivated land, number of crops cultivated, distance of the farming location from the house, total household income, non-farm income, and reciprocal relationships.

Abstract

Deforestation in Indonesia remains a significant issue due to various factors. This article reveals the impact of demographic variables on deforestation, using oil palm plantation expansion as a case study. The study applies Hunter's model, considering population dynamics and intermediate variables, namely science and technology, institutions, policies, and culture. Through traditional literature review methods, demographic data and field research results from 2010 to 2020 were elaborated, focusing on Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. The findings underline that Indonesian rapid population growth drives high consumption rates. Additionally, the development of oil palm plantations is faced with high demand for CPO, policies that attach too much importance to investment, and agrarian deregulation. All these intermediate variables are visible through the agricultural expansion as a pattern of agricultural development. The massive expansion by private companies resulted in a change in the socio-ecological landscape. In addition, there are dilemmas in the villager's livelihood system, such as shifting traditional livelihood bases, livelihood dualism, the emergence of new vulnerabilities, and land grabs. In order to realize sustainable palm oil development, we suggest governance reforms at the global, national, and local levels.

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena overpopulation di Pulau Jawa sebagaimana telah diungkap pada penelitian fundamental tahun pertama (2008). Fenomena ini menunjukkan menurunnya kapasitas biologis Pulau Jawa untuk menopang aktivitas penduduk. Sumatera dengan luasan wilayah yang lebih dari Jawa akan tetapi dari segi kemajuan wilayah sudah cukup tinggi pada beberapa provinsi. Dalam hal kependudukan, sekitar 50 persen penduduk luar Jawa berada di Sumatera. Untuk itu dengan mengadopsi apa yang sudah dilakukan pada Jawa, penelitian ini juga mengkaji keadaan daya dukung Pulau Sumatera. Penelitian ini bertumpu pada data sekunder yang dikeluarkan Pemerintah secara resmi melalui berbagai instansinya. Hasil penelitian dengan pendekatan indeks tekanan penduduk ini menunjukkan bahwa Sumatera masih mampu menopang seluruh penduduk yang ada saat ini. Dengan indeks sebesar 0,8 Pulau Sumatera masih dapat menampung penduduk sebanyak 53.339.255 orang pada tahun 2010. Pendekatan ini mengasumsikan sektor yang menopang kehidupan adalah pertanian. Namun jika dianalisis dengan pendekatan tapak ekologi yang lebih menekankan pada kuantitas aktivitas penduduk, ternyata Pulau Sumatera telah mengalami overshoot sebesar 0,05 ha/orang atau 0,31 Gha/orang. waktu yang diperlukan untuk memulihkan kondisi ekologi Pulau Sumatera tidak seberapa lama (ceteris paribus), yakni apabila tidak ada perubahan dalam pola konsumsi penduduk, dibutuhkan waktu paling lama 7,76 tahun. Dengan defisit sebesar 0,05 ha per orang pada tahun 2006, pada tahun 2014 keadaan Pulau Sumatera sudah membaik dalam menyediakan biokapasitas untuk seluruh penduduknya.

Abstract

Lumbung padi swadaya masyarakat sudah jarang dijumpai. Adanya kelompok yang masih mempertahankan sistem penyimpanan hasil panen secara bersama-sama menarik untuk dikaji. Kajian ini diarahkan untuk mengelaborasi dinamika kelembagaan lumbung pangan di tingkat lokal dan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan tingkat keberdayaan kelompok. Kajian dilakukan pada sebuah kelompok lumbung pangan di Desa Tirta Mulya Kecamatan Air Manjunto Kabupaten Mukomuko. Kajian ini bertumpu pada pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan melakukan wawancara kepada sejumlah informan kunci dan responden sebanyak 40 orang anggota kelompok. Data-data dianalisis secara kualitatif, deskriptif, dan melakukan uji korelasi Rank Spearman. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa kelompok memiliki dinamika yang tinggi dan mendapatkan momentum peningkatan produktivitas kelembagaan setelah adanya dukungan teknis dari pemerintah daerah. Selain itu, hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah karakteristik anggota berhubungan dengan tingkat keberdayaan, yaitu luas lahan pertanian dan persepsi terhadap gudang penyimpanan. Aspek-aspek dinamika kelompok yang berhubungan signifikan meliputi rasa percaya sesama anggota, transparansi pengelolaan keuangan, dan pengambilan keputusan kelompok. Secara umum, kelompok lumbung pangan yang tumbuh melalui keswadayaan tetap relevan meskipun gejalanya terus memudar. Untuk itu diperlukan dukungan teknis dan pendampingan dari pemerintah daerah. Kata Kunci: kelembagaan lokal, pemberdayaan, dinamika kelompok, lumbung pangan, solidaritas

Abstract

Land tenancy and labor relations are two agrarian institutions that shape the organization of agricultural activities at the production level and often influence production performance. This study explores the patterns of land tenancy and labor relations among rice-farming communities in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra, through the lens of the reciprocity economic perspective. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted in four villages across the sub-districts of Tanjung Sakti Pumi and Lahat Selatan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the tenant farmers, landowners, extension officers, and community leaders. Findings reveal two dominant sharecropping systems: an equal 1:1 distribution and a saseh system with a 2:1 share. These informal and unwritten arrangements are based on kinship ties, mutual trust, and local norms. They provide stable land access for landless farmers and maintain production continuity, despite limited institutional support. Labor relations are equally embedded in cultural practices such as gotong royong (mutual aid), where families and neighbors contribute unpaid or semi-paid labor during peak agricultural periods. Compensation may include food, rice, or low wages, depending on the relationship and labor type.  However, they reveal underlying tensions between tradition and social transformation, in which evolving reciprocity practices may increasingly function as mechanisms of surplus accumulation under market penetration. Theoretically, this study contributes to rural sociology by demonstrating how informal systems of tenancy and labor persist as rational and adaptive responses to socio-economic constraints, while also highlighting their potential vulnerability to erosion under agrarian pressures. The findings suggest that development policies should aim to reinforce these community-based systems to improve agricultural sustainability and social equity in rural Indonesia.

Abstract

Economic diversity has often been promoted as a means to achieve the economic goal of stability. Many empirical studies have also concluded that greater diversification in economic can reduce vulnerability and engendering financial development. The objective of this paper is to analyze the degree of economic diversification at village level. This research was conducted at twenty villages located around Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS) and determined purposively and surveyed. Twenty households from each selected village were selected using systematic random sampling method, so the total respondents were 400 households. Economic diversity at the village level was estimated using EDI suggested by Dewi, et al (2005).Research found that EDI value for each village studied varies from 0.20 to 1.00 with no village reaches 1.099, which is an ideal condition. The lowest EDI, i.e. 0.20, occurs in the village of Karang Dapo Atas and Karang Dapo Bawah, subdistrict of Bingin Kuning and the village of Ujung Tanjung II Subdistrict Embong Uram Karang. This value indicates that households in the village surveyed simply rely on one type of work, especially in the agricultural sector. This also means that not many households get into other employment sectors such as mining and or services/stalls/stores. By simply relying on agriculture as its main source of income, households tend to be vulnerable if there is a change in the agricultural sector, especially in sectors such as coffee and rubber plantations.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the process, reasons for the actions of farmers and analyze the factors that influence farmers to switch commodities. The number of respondents is 46 farmers selected using Simple Random Sampling. Description and multiple regression are used in this research. The results showed that the commodities convertion is done in some stages. The main reason is that farmers are able to earn income from their initial plants while they wait their new crops starting to produce. There are three reasons that farmers switch of social, economic, and agronomists. Social reasons, namely, to see the success of a friend of 41.30%, follow friends 39.13%, and their-owned beliefs 26.08%. Economic reasons is the high price of cocoa 60.86%, continuity of production 100% and marketing easy in 93.47%. Agronomic reasons, namely cocoa seedlings are easy to get 95.65%, maintenance / cultivation is easy 89.13%, and easy in post- harvest handling 93.47%. The results of regression analysis showed the number of dependents, a price comparison index, previous farm receipts, the coffee plant age, perception of control of the commodity, ease of cultivation and post harvest simultaneously significantly affect the percentage of land area converted. While the partial factors of coffee plant age and the perception of the commodity rather have real impact on the land area converted commodities.
