<![CDATA[Purpose – This study examines the associations of perceived mining impacts, perceived climate variability, perceived market access, and adaptation strategies with households’ Perceived Capacity to Maintain Food Access (PCMFA) among rice-farming households in Bangka and South Bangka Regencies, Indonesia, using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF). Design/methodology/approach – A structured survey was conducted among 107 lowland rice-farming households. Data were analysed using Ordinary Least Squares regression with White heteroskedasticity-consistent robust standard errors. Findings/Results – Perceived mining impacts were negatively and significantly associated with PCMFA. Perceived market access and adaptation strategies were positively and significantly associated with PCMFA, with market access showing the strongest positive standardised association. Perceived climate variability did not show a statistically significant direct association with PCMFA at the 5% level. The findings indicate that PCMFA is associated with both mining-related vulnerability pressures and livelihood capacities. Originality/Value – This study applies the SLF in an extractive rural setting by distinguishing mining impacts and climate variability as vulnerability pressures from market access and adaptation strategies as livelihood capacities. It shows that mining-related pressure remains negatively associated with households’ perceived capacity to maintain food access, while market access and adaptation strategies are associated with higher PCMFA. The findings support integrated environmental protection, market access, and livelihood-strengthening interventions in mining-affected agricultural areas.]]>
