Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate life asset condition and household life recovery strategy after and before earthquakes in Tandikek, Padang Pariaman District. Livelihood index assessment is used to describe  livelihood asset changes before and after the earthquake. A descriptive analysis is employed to describe life recovery strategy that is used by households in various level and phase of house damages. The result of the study shows that change in household life asset after the earthquake has U pattern, meaning that condition of assets for all indicators decreased during emergency and recovery phases. This condition, however, increased after recovery phase up to the present time. The condition is even better than that prior to the earthquake. This also means that all recovery efforts have successfully developed  people’s life assets that guarantee their life after the earthquake. The livelihood recovery strategy used by households in Tandikek to maintain and recover their livelihood varies according to the level and phase of the house damage. The households that take independent livelihood strategy, either in active or passive way,  networking strategy and utilization of disaster aids from various sources appear to recover faster than those who only take one strategy.

Abstract

The construction of dams in many cases has led to forced displacement and resettlement of about 40-80 million people worldwide. Several studies have reported that Development Induced Displacement and Ressettlement (DIDR) cause negative impacts on living standards and livelihood outcomes of the resettled communities. Koto Panjang Dam has been in operation for 20 years. The impact of settlement movement due to the construction of a long Koto Panjang dam is also experienced by second generation resettlers. The objectives of this study were: a) to assess the profile access and control on household farming livelihood of second generation of resettlers, and b) to assess the level of household welfare of the second generation in Koto Panjang hydropower region, Riau Province.  All second-generation households in Koto Mesjid and Pongkai Istiqamah were taken for samples (92 households).  Profile access and control on households farming at the site of this study showed that men still dominated in access and control on farm management such as: land, working, credit, means of production, breeding, pest and disease control, education, training, and agricultural extension. Women were more dominant in processing and selling the yields. The poverty experienced by households in Koto Masjid village was largely due to limited land ownership, while that experienced by households in Pongkai Istiqomah village was due to the dependence of livelihoods on the rubber plantation, in addition to the limited field of other businesses in the village.

Abstract

The research aims to see the level of entrepreneurship of vegetable farmers in six sub-districts in Kabupaten Agam, particularly specialized and diversified vegetable farmer. The research is explanatory research, using 200 respondents taken by quota sampling proportionally. Farmer entrepreneurship level is measured using the Entrepreneurship Behavior Index (EBI). The result shows the overall level of entrepreneurship of vegetable farmers in six districts in Kabupaten Agam in the medium category that is equal to 69%,  Farmers who specialize in vegetable crops have higher levels of entrepreneurship than vegetable farmers who choose to diversified vegetable cultivation. The specialized vegetable farmer  have greater degree of decision making ability compared to diversified vegetable farmer. Diversified vegetable farmer concerned more on economic motives than specialized farmer. Risk taking ability also revealed difference tendency  among specialized and diversified vegetable farmer. Specialized vegetable farmer have bigger information seeking  capability, meanwhile diversified vegetable farmers are stronger for their leadership capability. The implications of this study that the entrepreneurial spirit vegetable growers is a variable that can provide reinforcement for the implementation of specialized cultivation systems. This means that if the entrepreneurial ability of farmers can be further improved, then with the application of specialized cultivation systems in vegetable crops, farmers will be able to create value-added products or produce derivative products from vegetable commodities produced.

Abstract

At Present our Planet is grappling with disastrous consequences of man-made environmental problems such as industrialization, urbanization, over-exploitation of natural resources, disruption of natural ecological balances, destruction of a multitude of animal and plant species for economic reasons, etc. It is observed that most of our environmental problems are manifestations of our developmental activities. Although there is no dearth of legislations on environmental protection in India, it is clearly evident that the enforcement of these legislations has been far from satisfactory. The present study tries to establish education as a useful tool for environmental conservation and sustainable development, ensuring clean air to breathe, safe drinking water and adequate supplies of clean renewable energy. This paper is mostly based on secondary data from books, research articles, periodicals and websites. It discusses the role of teacher and school in the protection of environment and promotion of sustainable development by bringing awareness on the efficient and responsible usage of the natural resources namely air, water, land, soil, forests, rivers, oceans etc. It tries to expound the ways and means to sensitize students and make them environment conscious in order to build a vibrant, healthy and pollution free India as future citizens.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the performance of farming practices of Lampai Kuning rice as an improved variety. Data were collected using survey method that relied upon primary data generated during the 2016/2017 production season. Data were collected through the use of a set of structured questionnaire administered on thirty farmers in Nagari Aie Angek, Sijunjung Regency. Stata version 12 was used to test the stochastic frontier model to measure the efficiency of Lampai Kuning rice.The results showed that the use of manure and Urea had negative effect on the Lampai Kuning rice, while the use of NPK had positive effect. The level of technical efficiency of Lampai Kuning rice was very low at the 0,55 level. The study reveals that large land size led to high Lampai Kuning rice production. Farmers could double their rice production by using factor of production appropriately.
