Abstract

This research aims to examine the livelihoods of Petuk Katimpun Village fishermen facing ecological, economic, and flooding problems. The research method used is qualitative and literature study. Data collection techniques included participant observation, interviews, literature study, and documentation. The results revealed that the river is a living space that cannot be separated to support the various needs and livelihood activities of the Petuk Katimpun community. The availability of natural resources in the river basin is utilized to maintain a sustainable life. Communities living along the banks of the Rungan River tend to have complex problems, especially against disasters and ecological damage to the river environment, which disrupts the community’s livelihood system. The people of Petuk Katimpun use the Rungan River to catch fish, find rattan, and conduct gold mining. In addition, the Rungan River is used to access lakes and swamp forests and catch fish using boats. The survival strategies carried out by Petuk Katimpun fishermen are, first, tying the belt tighter, namely saving money but not reducing the portion and quality of food and saving when the income is significant. Second, job diversification (alternative subsistence) is done by doing various jobs to increase revenue, such as the work done by fishermen, such as looking for rattan. In contrast, the fisherman’s wife becomes a seller of fish caught by her husband. Third, by utilizing social networks such as relatives, acquaintances, or neighbors to gain access to specific resources such as assistance or information on fishing areas, the fishermen’s wives also form arisan groups

Abstract

This study aims to explore the survival strategies of traditional herbal medicine vendors in Kahayan Market, Palangkaraya City, in maintaining their businesses, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with five traditional herbal medicine vendors using purposive sampling techniques, observation, and literature study. This study uses James C. Scott's theory of survival strategies (survival mechanisms). The findings show that the survival strategies applied by traditional herbal medicine vendors include (1) tightening their belts (by saving on expenses, buying only basic necessities, managing their finances wisely, and saving money), (2) alternative means of subsistence (taking on side jobs, helping to clean other people's houses, such as sweeping or tidying up, participating in social gatherings as an emergency fund, and implementing sales strategies) (3) social networks (utilizing relationships with family, relatives, to obtain capital assistance and financial support)). Trades also face several challenges such as (1) high competition in the market, (2) customer instability, and (3) difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Abstract

Fishing is widely practised by women in Petuk Katimpun. This indicates that women have dual roles in their lives. This study aims to examine the activities of women fishing in peat swamps and analyse the roles, functions, and objectives of women as fishermen. The author argues that women fishermen have the capacity and dual roles in their livelihoods to achieve food security and support family economies. An ethnographic approach was used as the research method among women fishermen in Petuk Katimpun. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies and analysed using descriptive analysis techniques. The findings show that women make a significant contribution to food security and the family economy. The role of women fishers is not limited to household activities. Still, it encompasses a comprehensive range of tasks, from preparing fishing gear and setting nets or traps to hauling in the catch, sorting the fish, and marketing the catch. The purpose of women working as fishermen is closely related to efforts to secure the family's future, ease the burden on their husbands, and ensure that the needs of large families are met sustainably. Women's income is significant because their husbands' income as fishermen is often uncertain, depending on weather conditions, fishing seasons, and the availability of fishery resources. Women's involvement in the fishing profession and other activities significantly improves family welfare, thereby contributing to food security and family economic resilience. The presence of women fishers is an essential pillar in developing a more inclusive, empowered, and sustainable river community.
