During 2009-2012 the price of rubber increased sharply, on the contrary during 2012-2018 the price decreased, and the farm price level in 2018 was lower than the average in 2009. The decline in rubber prices had an impact on the income of rubber farming. This study aims to analyze the changes in rubber prices on the performance of rubber farming and rubber farmers’ incomes The main data used is the ICASEPS’ Patanas database for 2009, 2012, and 2018. This study took cases in small-holder farmer in Penerokan Village (Batang Hari Regency, Jambi) and Semoncol Village (Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan). Data analysis using R/C ratio. The results showed that the average price of rubber during 2009-2012 increased from IDR7,961/kg to IDR12,968/kg or increased by 62.9%, but in 2018 its decreased by an average of 45% to IDR6,875/kg and tended to decrease. Revenue from rubber farming during 2009, 2012 and 2019 in Penerokan was IDR12,974,000 respectively; IDR10,843,000 and IDR7,878,000 with an R/C ratio of 1.67; 1.87 and 1.67. Revenue from rubber farming in Semoncol 2009, 2012 and 2019 was IDR 10,656,000 respectively; IDR15,990,000 and IDR10,950,000 with an R/C ratio of 1.50; 2.00 and 1.29. The R/C ratio of rubber farming in both villages is more than 1, indicating that rubber farming is economically feasible. Household income in both locations still dominated by agricultural activities.

Peach Orchard

The article summarizes the establishment and production costs, as well as the potential profitability of a peach orchard in Florida. Our findings show the initial investment required for a peach operation in Florida to be $6,457 per acre; the expense in land preparation and planting alone in year 1 is $2,541 per acre. Variable and fixed costs in years 2 through 15 average $5,680 per acre. As an example of profitability, when using a 10% discount rate, an operation yielding 6,525 (7,254) pounds of marketable fruit per acre during its most productive years obtains a positive NPV when the average price is $2.38 ($2.13) per pound.

Land fires are an annual agenda in Indonesia, especially in areas covered by peatlands. Peatland management using fire is the main cause. The general paradigm for land fires is that the farmers' economy is low. In fact, the factors that cause land fires are not only from the economic aspect, but from the social and institutional aspects which affect the behavior of farmers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is (1) to analyze the correlation of factors that influence land burning behavior, and (2) to determine the model for the changing of burning behavior into non burning farm land cultivation, in order to prevent land fire in Kuburaya Disrict and Bengkayang District, West Kalimantan. The research involved farmers farming on peatlands in both districts. Regression models was used for the correlation analysis. Based on the results of the regression analysis, a land burning behavior change model was determined based on the influencing factors descriptively. The result of the analysis showed the factors that significantly influence land burning behavior at the household level are knowledge level (consist of farming problems faced by farmers, agricultural extension materials and the application of technology), observance of rules, activeness of mutual assistance, cosmopolitan level, appraisal on burning behavior, and imitation level. The resulting model for changing the behavior of burning land is implementing activity of assistance, social capital stimulus and positive agreements/ pressure to the land users.

Timber forests have many functions and play an essential role in human life. This means that the existence of timber forests provides many benefits for human life. Economic development activities actively implemented throughout the province of West Kalimantan have resulted in more and more areas of timber forest and rubber plantation areas being converted into oil palm plantations. The rampant development of oil palm plantations carried out by investors and those carried out independently by each resident, in essence, provides a significant enough job opportunity for the population in each area that continues to grow. Job opportunities created through economic development offer opportunities to every working population to earn income, fulfilling various life needs is mainly directed to fulfilling family nutritional consumption. If the family's nutrition is guaranteed, then the average life span of the population can be longer. In addition to meeting his family's needs, this income can also be used to finance children's education belonging to the school-age group. If the income earned by each family is large enough, then the family should be able to live in prosperity. This means that timber forest and rubber plantation areas privately owned by the community have been converted into oil palm plantations, significantly contributing to the economic growth of districts/cities in West Kalimantan province and improving the community's welfare.

A person’s livelihood implies as the means of securing the basic necessities of life, example food, water, shelter and clothing. A livelihood is sustainable only when they can address, recover, maintain or enhance their necessities, now and the future. However, Rohingya refugee is lack of official status in Malaysia and they have a limited access on a sustainable livelihood. This study aims to understand and determine whether the current household income able to create a sustainable livelihood. The sample was selected based on simple random sampling method for which the sampling frame are those refugees reside in Taman Senangin. The findings indicate majority of household expenditures increases while saving, were allocated only a small proportion of their remaining income. Hence, with the small proportion of saving, they are able to survive day-to-day life and are sustainable if the proportion of saving increased.

Floating houses or Rumah Lanting are one of the settlement cultures found in most river streams in Kalimantan and are observed to be different from several other houses in the area. They are mitigation-proof houses designed to respond to the risk of disasters usually experienced in the traditional settlements of West Kalimantan. Their structures have the ability to adapt to environmental conditions including natural disasters such as the river tides routinely experienced as a flood during the rainy season and as ebb in the dry season. This study aimed to identify the human-adaptation process existing in these floating houses through direct observation for two years during the dry and rainy seasons as well as in-depth interviews conducted with occupants of these buildings. The adaptation processes identified include the active and passive adaptation of the dwellers. The active aspect was observed from the behavior of occupants in accommodating the occurrence of disaster in the surrounding environment while the passive was identified as the physical changes implemented in the building to mitigate the disaster. The focus of this research was on some dwellings on the river banks settlement in the Melawi River near Sintang Regency of West Kalimantan Province and a qualitative approach with a case study was implemented. The samples were determined through a non-probability approach in the form of a purposive sampling method based on certain selected criteria which included the previous experience of ebb and flow of river water in the Rumah Lanting. The results showed the existence of active and passive adaptations for the dwellers of the floating houses in West Kalimantan. The active aspect observed involves the behavior of the occupants in adapting to natural disasters with the focus on the changes in the activity patterns, territory, and privacy. Meanwhile, the passive aspect showed some modifications in the architectural elements of the building such as the position, orientation, access, and function.
