Abstract

komunitas Kokoda dan Serui yang dapat bertahan hidup di lingkungan yang rusak akibat degradasi hutan mangrove, penebangan kayu mangrove, eksploitasi batu karang, serta pembangunan infrastruktur yang menimbulkan dampak tak terduga. Bertempat tinggal di daerah rawa yang terletak di pingiran Kota Sorong membuat mereka hidup dalam berbagai kesulitan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode etnografi yang mencakup catatan lapangan (field work), observasi partisipasi, dan wawancara mendalam. Mengambil lokasi penelitian di Distrik Manoi dan Distrik Sorong Timur, Papua Barat Daya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa komunitas Kokoda dan Serui telah mengalami marginalisasi dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan. Menimbulkan permasalahan kerusakan lingkungan, keterbatasan pada berbagai akses kehidupan, serta berkurangnya sumber daya alam di area hutan mangrove. Kesulitan dan keterbatasan tersebut dijawab melalui seni hidup yang dipegang erat oleh komunitas Kokoda dan Serui dalam melihat alam tempat mereka tinggal. Membentuk niche yang berbeda antar kelompok atas pengaruh affordances.

Abstract

The term "mining" carries a sensitive connotation for the sand lifters on the margins of Sorong City, West Papua, who prefer to identify themselves as "orang-orang angkat pasir" (sand lifters). Their labor involves extracting sand from rivers and clearing hillsides—often through deforestation—to facilitate sand collection. The ecological repercussions of these informal sand mining activities, including deforestation, have drawn concern from local governments, residents, and environmental advocates, who view these practices as detrimental to the environment. This negative perception has contributed to the stigmatization of "sand mining" as a term and a practice. This paper examines the lives and livelihoods of sand lifters, addressing the question: How do they sustain themselves through sand mining activities? For many, sand lifting represents a last resort to survive and participate in urban development, even as their work contributes to environmental degradation. While sand mining poses significant ecological challenges, it simultaneously serves as a lifeline for marginalized communities striving to improve their living conditions. By focusing on the case of sand lifters in West Papua, this paper applies the concept of "infrapolitics" to explore the intersections of informality, political agency, and the right to livelihood in urban contexts. In doing so, it broadens the discourse on human rights, informality, and environmental justice in the region, highlighting on the complex dynamics between survival, urban development, and ecological impact.
