The exploding demand for palm oil in the world market makes oil palm expansion in several tropical countries increasingly increasing, especially in Indonesia. The phenomenon of land conversion that occurred in Wajo Regency was caused by the entry of plantation companies which resulted in the shifting of livelihood systems and livelihood strategies. Changing agricultural land into an oil palm plantation area with a partnership system has an impact on the limited community in managing and accessing their land. Farming activities for both rice and other commodities such as cashew and others as well as cattle grazing activities cannot be done on agricultural lands that have been partnered for oil palm plantations. This condition triggered shocks to the farmer's household livelihood system. So that in the process the community carries out various adaptation of livelihood strategies. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the livelihood strategy of the community in meeting household needs before and after the conversion of agricultural land to oil palm plantations. This study uses snowball sampling and in-depth interviews conducted in the village of Taddangpalie, Penrang District. The results showed that the livelihood strategies of farmer households before conversion which had the largest percentage were survival strategies (53%), consolidation (30%), accumulative (17%) with the agricultural basis. After land conversion occurs there is a decrease in the survival strategy phase which is to be (48%) because some households switch the consolidation phase by (40%), and the accumulative phase still remains at the percentage, with the dominant basis being agriculture and non-agriculture. Vulnerability in the form of shock, trend, and equality is overcome by two types of strategies namely survival strategies and consolidation strategies by adopting human capital, social capital, natural capital, and financial capital.

This study examines farmers' livelihood strategies based on livelihood assets in Pandansari Village, Ngantang District, Malang Regency. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach using a Likert scale. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews using questionnaires and field observations, while secondary data were obtained through literature studies from various related sources. The location was determined purposively with the consideration that Pandansari Village was the area in Ngantang District that was the worst affected by the eruption of Mount Kelud. Seventy-five farmers with simple random sampling technique were selected as respondents in this study. The respondents' livelihood assets include human capital, natural capital, social capital, financial capital, and physical capital. Meanwhile, livelihood strategies are classified into survival strategies, consolidation strategies and accumulation strategies. The results show that the most vital livelihood asset is social capital, while the indicator for natural capital is the weakest. The strongest indicator of the farmer's livelihood strategy in Pandansari Village is the consolidation strategy.

Lahan gambut merupakan komponen ketahanan lingkungan yang diupayakan untuk menjamin keamanan publik dan munculnya bahaya lingkungan yang disebabkan secara alami oleh alam maupun disengaja oleh perbuatan manusia. Lahan gambut di Desa Teluk Empening telah mengalami konversi menjadi lahan usahatani seperti lahan sawit, karet dan jahe, sedangkan lahan sekunder yang ada pada daerah penelitian sebelumnya pernah mengalami kebakaran pada tahun 2017. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi keanekaragaman jenis pada lahan gambut dengan melakukan pengukuran biodiversitas lahan dengan analisis vegetasi. Kemudian menganalisis pengaruh konversi lahan gambut dengan pengukuran sifat fisik tanah, pengukuran Tinggi Muka Air tanah, pengukuran dimensi saluran dan pengujian kualitas air. Perubahan dinamika tutupan lahan yang dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat, data diperoleh dengan menggunakan observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner sebanyak 30 sampel. Hasil analisis menunjukkan lahan jahe, karet dan sawit memiliki nilai indeks keanekaragaman (H’) ±0 dikategorikan biodiversitas rendah. Lahan sekunder memiliki nilai indeks keanekaragaman (H’) 2,001 masuk kategori biodiversitas sedang. Konversi lahan gambut mempengaruhi sifat fisik tanah gambut seperti parameter porositas, permeabilitas, kadar serat dan kadar air. Konversi lahan gambut menjadi lahan karet memengaruhi penurunan muka air tanah yaitu setinggi 68 cm. Pengaruh konversi terhadap kualitas air pada lahan, ditandai dengan parameter pH berkisar 3,3 - 4,6, TSS berkisar 6-440 mg/l dan DO berkisar 0,89-3,4 mg/l yang tidak sesuai dengan baku mutu yang ditetapkan yaitu Kelas 2 PP No.82 Tahun 2001. Konversi lahan gambut semakin meningkat tiap tahun dan mempengaruhi kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat dengan fungsi sosial penyerapan tenaga kerja serta fungsi ekonomi pendapatan dari hasil produksi usahatani. Lahan gambut memberikan keunggulan dan kapasitas bagi kawasan lokal untuk kekuatan alam seperti lingkungan, ekonomi dan sosial yang dapat dilakukan sambil tetap menjaga daya tahan lingkungan. AbstractPeatlands are a component of environmental resilience that strives to ensure the safety and security of environmental hazards caused naturally or intentionally by human actions. Peatland in Teluk Empening Village has undergone conversion to agricultural land such as oil palm, rubber and ginger, while the secondary land in the previous study area experienced fires in 2017. This research was conducted by identifying the diversity of species on peatland by measuring biodiversity land with vegetation analysis. Then analyze the effect of peat land conversion with physical measurements of soil, measurement of groundwater level, measurement of channel dimensions and testing of water quality. Changes in land cover dynamics obtained from socio-economic conditions, data obtained using observations, interviews and questionnaires as many as 30 samples. The analysis showed that ginger, rubber and oil palm land had a diversity index value (H ') ± 0 which was categorized as low biodiversity. Secondary land has a diversity index value (H ') of 2,001 in the medium biodiversity category. Peat land conversion affects the physical properties of peat soil such as parameters of porosity, permeability, fiber content and air content. The conversion of peatlands to rubber lands has an effect on the decrease in the water table, which is 68 cm long. The effect of conversion on water quality in land, fear with pH parameters ranging from 3.3 to 4.6, TSS ranging from 6-440 mg / l and DO ranging from 0.89-3.4 mg / l which are not in accordance with the specified quality standards namely Class 2 PP No. 82 Year 2001. Conversion of peatlands is increasing every year and affects the socio-economic conditions of the community with the social function of absorption of labor and the economic function of income from agricultural production. Peatlands provide advantages and capacities for local areas for natural forces such as environment, economy and social that can be done while maintaining environmental resilience.

The massive expansion of oil palm plantations for the benefit of the palm oil industry and its derivatives has an impact on ecosystem and environmental damage as well as large demands for land conversion that threaten agricultural land for food crops, which also threatens food security on it. Jebus Village, Kumpeh District, Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province which has peat soil type for most of its land, in this case is one of the villages facing the problem of oil palm plantation expansion and land conversion which is starting to threaten agricultural land for food crops. Therefore, the Jebus Village Regulation No.1 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Peatlands for Sustainable Food Crops and Plantations was made to protect food land in Jebus village. This study aims to analyze the implementation of peatland protection for sustainable food crops in Jebus village. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. The collection of various data is carried out with a combination of in-depth interview and observation techniques and is supported by data from research results or reports. Data processing uses coding to obtain meaning which is presented in narrative form. This study found that the implementation of the Village Regulation was able to reduce the threat of damage to peatlands, restrain the rate of conversion of food agricultural land into plantations that were not environmentally friendly. However, the implementation of this policy has not been able to guarantee the availability of staple food (rice) for the Jebus village community. In addition, policy implementation faces challenges that cannot be resolved at the village scale.
