Farm Household Vulnerability Due to Land and Forest Fire in Peatland Areas in South Sumatra
No full textLand and forest fires in peatland areas in Indonesia have a widespread negative impact on surrounding communities. Possible vulnerabilities relate to economic, social, ecological, livelihoods, and environmental vulnerability. This study aimed to assess household vulnerability due to land and forest fires in peatland areas in Ogan Komering Ilir District in South Sumatra and observe changes in peat ecosystems in those areas. The study was conducted in three peatland hydrological units (PHUs)—(1) PHU Sungai Sugihan–Sungai Lumpur; (2) PHU Sungai Sibumbung–Sungai Batok; and (3) PHU Sungai Saleh–Sungai Sugihan—covering 300 households as samples. Primary data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed descriptively. The analysis revealed the following: (1) PHU Sungai Sibumbung–Sungai Batok had the highest score for livelihood vulnerability and climate change but the lowest score for social, economic, and ecological vulnerability; (2) PHU Sungai Saleh–Sungai Sugihan had the highest score for economic and ecological vulnerability but the lowest score for livelihood vulnerability; (3) PHU Sungai Sugihan–Sungai Lumpur had the highest score for social vulnerability but lowest score for climate change vulnerability; and (4) the number of household members, toddlers, and elderly, and all economic indicators except land ownership, contributed relatively similarly to social vulnerability in all PHUs
Discovering the socio-economic migrant performance on illegal logging activities for deforestation problem solving in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatera (case study of Sungai Buring traditional village)

The purpose of this study was to: 1. Identify the socio-economic characteristics of the migrant who become illegal loggers, 2. Analyze the amount of illegal loggers' income and its allocation to the consumption, and 3. Develop a strategy to overcome illegal logging and forest deforestation based on the socio-economic characteristics of the logger. The analysis showed that socio-economic conditions of the migrant who become illegal loggers illustrates that they are still a low level of education and have productive age. Income earned Rp 4,301,211.00/year/family, lower than the income of Rp 33,070,945.00/year/family after migrating. Income get from illegal logging are Rp 13.087.945/year/family. Average migrant allocates 60.81 % of its total income for consumption, and the remaining 39.19 % is allocated to farming and non-farming activities. This study suggests that there should be an increase in revenue breakthrough in the area of origin to be able to suppress the migration process becomes illegal loggers to other areas. Low income is the core problem of farmers to migrate. Required two basic designs: (1) social engineering with community and (2) technical engineering in the direction of the multiproduct and multifunctional forest benefits to overcome the problems of forestry in the long run
Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Food Security Through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Adoption: The Interplay of Social, Economic and Environmental in Tidal Swamp Farming
No full textFood security is closely linked to agricultural productivity and the adoption of modern technologies. This study examines the socio-economic and environmental factors that drive the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), enhance productivity, and improve food security in tidal swamp areas. The interrelationships between economic factors such as income and access to capital, and environmental factors like sustainable land management practices and water resource usage, all of which play a crucial role in the adoption of CSA technologies. The study was conducted with 180 farmers in Banyuasin Regency, specifically in Telang Makmur, Panca Mukti and Telang Jaya Villages, who provided data to assess how these factors influence food security outcomes. The findings indicate that both economic and environmental factors significantly affect the adoption of CSA technology, which subsequently leads to increased agricultural productivity and food security. Specifically, economic empowerment through higher income levels and enhanced access to capital enables farmers to invest in CSA technologies, while environmentally sustainable practices help mitigate climate risks and improve land and water management. The results underscore the importance of integrated approaches that address both economic and environmental dimensions to ensure long-term food security. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, stressing the need for strategies that combine economic support, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability to enhance food security in regions like Muara Telang
Pengaruh Problematika Lahan Rawa Lebak pada Minat Keberlanjutan Usahatani Padi di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan
No full textIn carrying out rice farming in non tidal swamp land, farmers face various problems. The problems or obstacles faced by farmers cause low productivity and sometimes crop failure. Low productivity has an impact on the low income earned by farming households and in aggregate can disrupt national food security and security. If the income earned by farmers from rice farming continues to decline, it is likely that farmers' interest in cultivating rice will also decrease and over time this will threaten the sustainability of rice farming in non tidal swamp areas. Therefore, this research aims to (1) Analyze the factors that are problematic in non tidal swamp land in rice farming, (2) Analyze indicators of interest in the sustainability of non tidal swamp rice farming in South Sumatra Province and (3) Analyze The influence of the problems of non tidal swamp land on farmers' interest in continuing to cultivate rice in non tidal swamp land. The research method used was a survey method with 80 farmers as respondents. The data analysis used in this research is multiple regression analysis and sustainability index figures. The TKT output target of this research is that the important concepts and characteristics of a technology have been proven analytically and experimentally. The results of the research show that the educational human capital variable has a significant effect on problems in the non tidal swamp area. From the results of the analysis, it can also be seen that the sustainability value is 55, meaning that the sustainability of rice farming in the non tidal swamps of South Sumatra Province is at a fairly sustainable level. These results are also in line with field conditions, where farmers still want or are interested in continuing to carry out rice farming in non tidal swamp land. The relationship obtained from the data analysis carried out between the problems of non tidal swamp land and the interest in sustainable farming which was analyzed using a correlation test had a value of 0.45, which means that there is a fairly strong relationship between the problems of lowland swamp land and farmers' interest in continuing to carry out sustainable farming
Livelihood Alternatives in Restored Peatland Areas in South Sumatra Province, Indonesia
No full textLivelihood loss and lower income because of peatland mismanagement are crucial issues that must be resolved in peatland areas. Although many studies have assessed farmers’ livelihoods and income enhancement, progress in addressing these problems remains inadequate. To address this issue, this study aimed to analyze various existing alternative livelihoods in the peatland community in Ogan Komering Ilir District, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia, and analyze scenarios for creating livelihoods and increasing people’s incomes through changes in peat ecosystem management and peatland restoration programs. This study used a survey method conducted in South Sumatra Province’s OKI District, one of the four priority peat-restoration districts in the province. We used three sampling stages, while descriptive, tabulated, and mathematical methods were used for analysis. We analyzed the feasibility of livelihoods that used benefit-cost analysis. The results showed that Sonor cultivation of paddies and catching fish in Rawang (swamp) were the livelihoods of farmers in peatlands. The community has also been processing peatland commodities into other products, such as Purun woven, and Gula Puan (buffalo milk processing). Several alternative livelihood scenarios that are financially profitable and can be developed include salted and smoked fish, Purun woven handicrafts, paludiculture, and agrosilvofishery, which can provide farmers with short-, medium-, and long-term income opportunities. This study can contribute to policymaking by fully considering the role of peat resources in rural livelihoods
