Climate disasters pose a risk to residents’ well-being globally. However, information about the impact of climate disasters among urban and rural residents remains lacking, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to fill the gap by investigating the impact of climate disaster on subjective well-being based on urban and rural typology model. The data were cross-sectional, involving 7110 Indonesian residents who had experienced climate disasters, 3813 from urban areas and 3297 from rural areas. An ordered probit model was employed to estimate the impact of climate disasters on subjective well-being (i.e., happiness and life satisfaction). In general, the empirical results show that climate disasters do not significantly affect the happiness of Indonesian residents, but they significantly and negatively impact their life satisfaction. Further analysis reveals that climate disasters impact urban and rural residents differently. The subjective well-being of rural residents is more severely affected than those living in urban areas. Further estimation also indicated that climate disaster significantly reduces residents’ subjective well-being at the lowest income level for both rural and urban residents. Our finding confirms that rural residents remain the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
The study was aimed to i) analyze the economic value and feasibility of the introduction of chili proliga technology, and ii) analyze farmers’ responses to the introduction of chili proliga technology. The study was conducted in Rembang Regency, from August 2021 to February 2022. Two treatments were involved: i) chili farming with the introduction of chili proliga technology, and ii) existing chili farming. The economic value and feasibility were analyzed quantitatively by calculating i) cost of farming, ii) economic feasibility, and iii) partial analysis of technological changes. Farmers’ responses were analyzed based on i) level of understanding, ii) level of difficulty, and iii) level of willingness to adopt chili proliga technology. The study’s results showed that the introduction of chili proliga technology was able to increase profits by 392.21% with an R/C value of 2.3. The benefits obtained by farmers from technological changes received an MBCR of 3.07, meaning that every additional cost of IDR 100,000 brought an additional profit of IDR 307,000. Farmers’ responses to chili proliga technology show that i) farmers “understand” that technology ii) farmers find it easy to apply that technology, and iii) farmers are “willing to adopt” that technology.
Sorghum is an important food crop commodity in the midst of climate change conditions and the threat of a global food crisis. Sorghum, which has an adaptive advantage to all land conditions, is suitable for use as a food substitute for rice and wheat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the economic value, farmers’ perceptions, and specific strategies for developing sorghum in Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research was conducted in Wonogiri Regency, Central Java, and Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta from September to November 2022. The research was carried out through the observation of 120 respondents with indicators of farming characteristics and farmers’ perceptions of sorghum development, as well as focus group discussions (FGD) and depth interviews with indicators of internal and external factors for sorghum development. The analysis used is benefit cost (BC) to evaluate the economic value of sorghum farming, the Likert scale to determine farmers’ perceptions of sorghum, and Strength Weak Opportunity Threat (SWOT) to determine specific strategies for developing sorghum. The results showed that sorghum farming is feasible to develop in Wonogiri Central Java and Gunungkidul Yogyakarta because it provides a profit value greater than production costs with a BCR value of >1. The perception of farmers in Central Java regarding the development of sorghum is included in the very good category with an average value of 3.31, and the perception of farmers in Yogyakarta is included in the good category with an average value of 2.55. The operational policy strategy for developing sorghum in Wonogiri Central Java and Gunungkidul Yogyakarta is an expansion strategy (S-O).
AbstrakKabupaten Grobogan sebagai salah satu sentra produksi kedelai nasional dituntut untuk meningkatkan produksi dan produktivitas kedelai nasional. Upaya yang dilakukan yaitu dengan meningkatkan kinerja usahatani kedelai melalui peningkatan efisiensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat efisiensi teknis usahatani kedelai serta faktor-faktor determinan yang mempengaruhi efisiensi dan sumber-sumber inefisiensi. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Pulokulon dan Purwodadi, Kabupaten Grobogan. Data primer diperoleh melalui metode survey terhadap 60 responden pada bulan April 2019. Data primer yang digali adalah data usahatani kedelai pada Musim Tanam (MT) I Tahun 2018-2019. Data dianalisis menggunakan Frontier 4.1 sehingga diperoleh fungsi produksi stochastic frontier. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata efisiensi teknis usahatani kedelai relatif tinggi yaitu mencapai 0,81. faktor determinasi yang mempengaruhi efisiensi teknis adalah luas lahan, jumlah benih, jumlah tenaga kerja luar keluarga, pestisida, dummy varietas dan dummy lokasi kecamatan. Sumber-sumber inefisiensi teknis berasal dari umur petani, pengalaman usahatani dan intensitas pendidikan non formal/penyuluhan. Semakin lama pengalaman petani dan semakin banyak intensitas penyuluhan yang diikuti petani maka akan semakin menurunkan inefisiensi teknis. Efisiensi teknis dapat ditingkatkan dengan memaksimalkan sumberdaya yang tersedia dengan teknologi yang sudah ada, serta meminimalisir sumber-sumber inefisiensi.
Imported soybeans have dominated national soybeans for more than two decades. To reduce dependence on imported soybeans, efforts are needed to maximize national soybean production and productivity through technological innovation. Soybean high yielding varieties are one of the easiest technologies to be adopted by farmers. The assessment aims to evaluate perceptions, attitudes and satisfaction of farmers with the attributes of superior soybean varieties. The assessment was carried out using a survey method of soybean farmers totaling 32 people in The Kebumen Regency. High yielding soybeans varieties studied is Grobogan, Anjasmoro and Gema varieties. Attributes evaluated are plant performance, yield, soybeans price selling, easier seeds to obtain, harvest age, the suitability of seed size to demand and pest resistance. Farmers’ perceptions were mapped using perceptual mapping, farmer attitudes were analyzed using the Fishbein Multiattribute Model and farmer satisfaction was analyzed using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). The results of the study showed that farmers had better perceptions, attitudes and satisfaction towards Grobogan and Anjasmoro varieties compared to Gema variety. Grobogan and Anjasmoro varieties were perceived as more excellent because they had more attractive plant diversity, higher production, easier seeds to obtain and more resistance to pests-diseases. Farmers showed a more accepting attitude to cultivating Grobogan and Anjasmoro varieties with Fishbein Multiattribute scores of 45.63 and 43.93, while the Gema variety only scored 39.64. Farmers have a higher level of satisfaction with Grobogan and Anjasmoro variety with CSI values of 52.11% and 50.37% compared to the Gema variety of 44.66%.
