Abstract

There have been debates on the role of class in “influencing” income inequality in contemporary societies.  Some argue that class position is no longer relevant in determing one’s income, while others argue that class still counts.  Therefore, it is very interesting to investigate relations between class structure and income among fishers in Indonesia. Furthermore, Marxian argued that class position will determine class consciousness. Therefore, it is interesting to study the class consciousness of labor fishers in Indonesia. Analyzing relations between class structure and income as well as class consciousness of labor fishers in Indonesia is especially very interesting and important since fishers have a very typical patront-client relationships. Moreover, study of this subject in Indonesia is still limited. This study has three main objectives: first to investigate the class structure of fishers and how this structure has been formed, second to analyse the income of fishers in different class locations, and third to analyze class consciousness of labor fishers. This study uses combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The study was conducted in Indramayu, West Java in 2013. Our analysis shows that the class structure of fishers consists of four main classes, namely large-scale, medium-scale, small-scale, and labor classes. These classes have been formed through complex and long processes, including the so-called “modernization” programmes promoted by the government.  In term of income, the study shows that there are significant differences of income among fishers in different class locations. The Gini Ratio is very high, that is 0.88. Thus, class structure does influence fishers’ income significantly. Furthermore, this study finds that class consciousness of labor fishers has not fully developed yet. Labor class is a class in itself, but not class for itself. © 2014 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB. All rights reserved.Keywords: fishers, class structure, income, class consciousness

Abstract

Agroforestry is a form of land management system that combines agriculture with trees. Agroforestry have been much practiced in rural areas to enhance the area’s economic conditions. It is often practiced on com- munity-owned land through the harvesting of fruits, timbers, and food plants like paddy, tubers, spices, and vegetable. As indicated  by various literatures, most of the contributions were attained from fruits, followed by food plant and timbers. Such would raised a question as to the economic contribution of agroforestry if practiced on government-owned land that do not allow the cutting of timbers and intensive agriculture such as in protected areas that have specific function as biodiversity preservation sites. This research was carried out in Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park, a protected area within the Province of Lampung, Indonesia. The sampled areas comprised of three villages directly adjacent to the Park where the majority of the people worked in agroforestry farms within the Park. Respondents were selected through random sampling method. The role of agroforestry in incresing farm income were evident by its contribution which amounted to 45.96% of the total household’s income through the selling of fruits and food plants to the local wholesalers. Income from agroforestry were able to meet almost half (49,26%) of the rural livelihood’s needs. The most dominant plants that generated high incomes in the three villages were coffee (Anacolosa frutescens) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao).Keywords: agroforestry, wan abdul rachman, grand forest park, rural household

Abstract

After the fall of president Suharto Indonesia implemented sweeping decentralization reforms with the goal of rebalancing powers and responsibilities between the central government and the regions.  Among the raft of new laws was legislation that allowed for increased proliferation (pemekaran) at the district/municipality and provincial level.  In theory administrative proliferation would increase citizen participation and efficiency in governance.  After 12 years the number of districts in Indonesia has nearly doubled, but there are indications that the performance of new regions is not living up to expectations.  This paper examines one case: the creation of the administrative municipality of Sungai Penuh, which was split off from Kerinci District, Jambi Province, Sumatra, in 2009.  I find that the process of new region creation in Kerinci has been dominated by local elites and has actually decreased unity within the district and has given rise to a movement to further sub-divide the district.  The implementation of pemekaran created new tensions, and very likely will undermine the medium and long-term prospects for development in the region. © 2013 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB.

Abstract

This paper uses Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to understand the relation between farmers and nature by seeing how this shapes their participation in agricultural initiatives. Using Jatropha development in indonesia as focus, this paper show that actants’ relation with nature is mediated through different. Sometimes conflicting, paths. In building the argument, this paper use a historical narrative started from Jatropha research in the laboratory in 2002 up to foreign investment after 2008. This paper identifies three period of Jatropha development in Indonesia in which its classification are based on its actors. Additionally, this paper identifies two type of substituation called function-oriented and actant-oriented determining the network durability. © 2014 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB.

Abstract

Efforts to integrated food security and farmer empowerment have become an important issue today. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to analyze the level of participation of farmers in their group and the empowerment of farmers in the management of rice farming and the factors associated with it, and to analyze the impact of farmer empowerment on sustainability efforts. Fieldwork was conducted in May to June 2012 in two districts in West Java, by taking 239 farmers who had attended the farmer field school. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically based on the descriptive technique and Structural Equations Modeling (SEM). Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interview and observation to support the quantitative data. The results showed that: (1) The levels of farmer participation in the farmer group and the farmer empowerment were classified as low. The variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer participation in the farmer group were: intensity of empowerment and personality traits. The variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer empowerment were: farmer participation in the farmer group, intensity of empowerment, physical and socio-economic environment, personality traits, and availability of agricultural information. (2) The prospects for sustainability efforts were classified as low. The level of farmer empowerment significantly affected the sustainability of farming; and (3) The increasing level of farmer empowerment can be achieved by better management of empowerment process, with increasing farmer participation in the farmer group, strengthening the availability of agricultural information, and the physical and socio economic environment. Keywords: empowerment, participation, capacity of farmers, business sustainability

Abstract

Indonesia faces serious problems in agricultural development and its relation to food security, employment, and sustainability. Today, Indonesia is importer country of rice and other commodities that can actually flourish in Indonesia. Meanwhile, currently Indonesia is becoming the world’s biggest producer and exporter of palm-oil. Ironically, Indonesia has converted the most fertile agricultural land to other uses, and cut down its timber for the sake of planting oil palm. Indonesia also faces unemployment problem. Agricultural sector is unattractive to young people.  Agricultural sector should keep growing to be able to assure food security and absorb labor force. However, there is no guarantee that modern, efficient, and innovative agriculture requires large scale farming (corporate farming). © 2013 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB.

Abstract

The paper uses a case-study of the coastal villages in North Maluku, Indonesia that is in the process of reconciliation between the Muslim and Christian. The paper attempts to contribute to the understanding of the use of traditional Community Based Fishery Management (CBFM) in facilitating the reconciliation process in the post-violent conflict. The paper begins by examining catalyzed factors contributing to the use of CBFM in the post violent conflict period. Subsequently, the paper continues by exploring the outcomes of CBFM and its affect in rebuilding relationships. The paper ends with briefly analyses to the sources of tension which perhaps come out from a control over fishery resources and unequal power relations between the Muslims and the Christians. This study found that it is possible for CBFM to facilitate the reconciliation with respect to two factors. Firstly, shared rules and cultural values promote cooperative behavior and enhance solidarity. And secondly, the role of the community leader as a mediator of community conflict allows disputes to be settled in relatively fair and amicable manner. It is hoped that a lesson from this study can be applied to provide an understanding of the traditional community-based management and its dynamic role in helping to facilitate the reconciliation. © 2014 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB.

Abstract

Farmers Managed-Extension Activities (FMA) provides substantial benefits to the farming community empowerment, especially for the improvement of information services for farmers. Consider the benefits and objectives are achieved , then this great program requires rigorous evaluation and mentoring to monitor progress . Previous survey showed no understanding of the diversity of farmers’ level , the percentage decrease in the number of farmers who apply from 2010 (64.56 %) to the year 2011 (48.23 %), and parthnership between farmers and traders only 35.9 % (still small). On the other hand, there is saturation  analysis tools in studies on adoption. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the motivational factors of farmers against the FMA program. The method used in this research was models the Technology Acceptance Model using Structural Equation Models with analysis tools , namely PLS (Partial Least Square). The results showed (1) Perception of farmers to ease was not significantly related to the attitude of farmers towards FMA at a significance level of 0.43 (p value); (2) Perception of farmers on the benefits / uses significantly associated with attitudes of farmers towards FMA at the 0.01 level (p value), (3) ability to absorb farmers are not significantly related to the attitude of farmers towards FMA at a significance level of 0.48 (p value), (4) the diversity of the media associated significantly with the attitude of farmers towards FMA at the 0.01 signif- icance level (p value), (5) attitude significantly associated with implementing farmers ‘ intentions / FMA adoption at a significance level of 1.90539 E - 08 (p value), (6) intention farmers significantly associated with implementing farmers’ behavior/FMA adoption at a significance level of 3.14341 E - 08 (p value).Keywords : FMA, adoption, farmer,extension, empowerment

Abstract

Agricultural Census 2013 shows agricultural sector as a provider of food, as well as livelihoods of majority of Indonesian people. The various agricultural sub-sectors develop mainly in Java and Bali, particularly food crops, horticulture, plantation, and animal husbandries. Most of the agricultural processing and services are also concentrated here. Social exclusion of smallholder households, as well as centralizing control of big land, are simultaneously happened, also lowest layers of the ruler of the land of the most marginalized. Meanwhile, about 45 percent of land (0.5-30 hectares) are owned by only 11 percent of affluent households. Clearly agricultural development trajectory for peasant is still far away to reach. © 2013 Journal of Rural Indonesia [JoRI] IPB.
