Abstract

Abstract: Pelabuhan Dalam Village, Ogan Ilir, is a swamp–lowland agricultural area dominated by rice cultivation. Challenges such as the decline in productive labor, the use of conventional tractors that cause soil compaction, and the low participation of women and the elderly have led to socio-economic and ecological problems. This study integrates a socio-agroecosystem approach through the implementation of semi-autonomous hand tractors to improve technical efficiency and community empowerment. The results show a 31% increase in work efficiency, a 17% reduction in fuel consumption, and a 21% decrease in soil compaction. The participation of women and the elderly also increased, accompanied by a 16% rise in household income per planting season. This integration has proven effective in promoting socio-economic welfare and the sustainability of wetland agriculture in South Sumatra.

Abstract

Technological advancements in agriculture have driven the development of Global Positioning System (GPS)-sensor-based smart tractors to overcome the limitations of conventional hand tractors, especially in wetland areas with challenging field conditions. This study aims to analyze the performance comparison between hand tractors and GPS-sensor smart tractors using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA method. From 60 reviewed articles, 15 met the inclusion criteria and were thoroughly analyzed. The results indicate that smart tractors excel in navigation accuracy, work path efficiency, and real-time data documentation, although they require higher initial investment. Conversely, hand tractors remain relevant for small-scale farmers due to their lower operational and maintenance costs. This evaluation provides a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of both technologies and their implications for wetland agricultural productivity. The study recommends further development of smart tractors that are more adaptive, cost-effective, and suitable for the local farming context in Indonesia.
