In the development process, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which also commonly referred to as electronic media or cyber media have been acknowledged as a new instrument that could facilitate the need of new information and innovation for rural people or farmers. However, several studies reported that extension and communication based-electronic media in developing countries encounter more problems rather than in developed countries. This research aims to investigate the ownership, access, utilization or functions of ICTs for obtaining information supporting the daily life of farmers and for promoting various farming activities in the coastal area of Kulon Progo Regency Yogyakarta. The research method of the study was a descriptive method that has been conducted by a mixed method. The study found that in line with modernization in agriculture, farmers have been using conventional and new electronic media including television, radio and mobile phone with function for getting new information. Conventional electronic media are still dominant while the use of new electronic media has been gradually increasing. Information gathered from ICTs includes social, cultural, economic, health and environmental issues. The use of new electronic media particularly the internet via smartphone has newly started to be utilized among farmers in the coastal farming area who intensively engaged in horticulture crops cultivation mainly for getting and exchange the market information. Information on technological innovation is still dominant among farmers. Better infrastructure and mobility access, improvement of telecommunication network and development of content and format of information provided by new media will be prospective in the future
Utilization of information and communication technologies (ICTs) had changed the diversity of agricultural extension and communication services which required alternatives for users of the services. Higher and better speed of information services was considerably recquired for supporting the sustainability of commercial farming business which in turn could facilitate the achievement of high status of food resilience. The goals of research were: (1). Describing access and function of ICTs for agricultural community, (2). Describing pattern on the usage of ICTs for supporting agricultural activities, (3). Analyzing the determinant factors on the usage of ICTs for supporting agricultural activities. The research method used in the study was analytical descriptive with survey research technique. The sites of study were commercial farming areas in Yogyakarta namely Patuk Gunungkidul, Turi Sleman, Sanden Bantul and Panjatan Kulon Progo. Sample were selected by using simple random sampling method. Data had been collected by using structured questionnaire, observation and indepth interview. While data analysis had been done by using descriptive statistic and multiple regression. Study results showed that (1). Ownership of ICTs media in all of research sites was considerably high including conventional media and new media which both had high capability providing information and entertaninment, but the function on education was still considerably limited, (2). Utilization of ICTs for supporting agricultural activities was: conventional media (television and radio) for providing information on technical production, policy and marketing, while new media (handphone and smartphone) for providing information on technical production, policy, marketing and financial aspect, (3). Determinant factors on ownership of ICTs were age and social status, and (4). Determinant factors on the usage of ICTs for supporting agricultural activities were age and sex of farmers.ABSTRAK Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) menyebabkan adanya perubahan keragaman (diversifikasi) layanan penyuluhan dan komunikasi pertanian yang memberi alternatif lebih baik bagi para pengguna layanan. Kecepatan layanan informasi sangat diperlukan untuk mendukung keberlanjutan pertanian komersial sehingga pada gilirannya dapat berkontribusi pada pencapaian ketahanan pangan yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian adalah (1) Mengetahui akses dan fungsi TIK bagi masyarakat pertanian, (2) Mengetahui pola penggunaan TIK untuk pertanian oleh masyarakat pertanian dan (3) Mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penggunaan TIK untuk mendukung kegiatan pertanian. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analitik dengan teknik penelitian survey. Lokasi penelitian adalah kawasan pertanian komersial di Yogyakarta yang mencakup Patuk Gunungkidul, Turi Sleman, Sanden Bantul dan Panjatan Kulon Progo. Sampel dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur, observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif dan dan regresi berganda. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa (1). Kepemilikan media TIK di semua lokasi kajian cukup tinggi (media konvensional dan media baru) yang mampu melayani penyediaan informasi dan hiburan, namun fungsi edukasi masih sangat terbatas, (2). Penggunaan media TIK untuk mendukung kegiatan pertanian: media konvensional (televisi radio) untuk teknis produksi, kebijakan dan pemasaran, sedangkan media baru untuk untuk informasi teknis produksi, pemasaran, kebijakan dan
Pada banyak negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia, secara umum sektor pertanian kurang populer karena generasi muda menilai sektor ini memiliki skala usaha sangat kecil, dijalankan secara konvensional, sulit memperoleh akses pembiayaan, lemah terhadap akses perlindungan, dan terbatas dalam layanan penyuluhan dan pendampingan. Namun demikian, usaha pertanian pada berbagai sub-sektor memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda yang nampaknya juga menjadi isu penting dalam proses regenerasi petani. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui problematika, pola, dan strategi petani mempersiapkan regenerasi di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Pengkajian fenomena regenerasi petani dilakukan di tiga komoditas yang berbeda, yaitu komoditas tanaman pangan di Kabupaten Sleman, komoditas hortikultura di Kabupaten Kulon Progo, dan komoditas perkebunan di Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui FGD, wawancara mendalam, dan observasi. Informan adalah petani senior dan petani muda di ketiga lokasi penelitian. Hasil penelitianmenujukkan bahwa (1) problematika dalam proses regenerasi petani di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta adalahperubahan kondisi iklim dan cuaca, sulitnya permodalan di bidang pertanian, rendahnya dorongan dari orang tua, citra buruk petani, alih fungsi lahan, petani sebagai pekerjaan sampingan, serta pertumbuhan sektor industri dan pariwisata yang lebihmenjanjikan bagi generasi muda; (2) pola regenerasi petani di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta adalahdenganmelibatkan anak petani dalam proses budidaya sehingga mereka memiliki bekal dalam bertani serta mewariskan lahan sawah atau lahan kering kepada anak dengan pembagian sama rata; (3) strategi dalam mendukung regenerasi petani di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta adalah dengan menanam berbagai komoditas dan mengusahakan ternak untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi keluarga, mengembangkan pasar yang menguntungkan dan berkelanjutansecara berkelompok, meningkatkan kemampuan petani muda melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan, serta mendukung figur petani muda berprestasi sebagai role model yang dapat memotivasi petani muda lainnya.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) is an alternative source to obtain the information of agricultural innovations. This research aims to investigate the ICTs ownership and the utilization of ICTs for supporting commercial farming activities in Yogyakarta. It was conducted in four sub-district namely Patuk (Gunungkidul Regency), Turi (Sleman Regency), Sanden (Bantul Regency) and Panjatan (Kulon Progo Regency).
