“…Most of the salt farmers are producing sea salt only during the dry season (April-October). The timing of the process highly depends on weather conditions, as rain reduces salinity and clouds decelerate evaporation [13]. Tidal flooding upon solar salt farming areas frequently occurs during high tide in the production period and thus threatens the production and distribution processes (see Figure 1).…”

The number of tidal flood events has been increasing in Indonesia in the last decade, especially along the north coast of Java. Hydrodynamic models in combination with Geographic Information System applications are used to assess the impact of high tide events upon the salt production in Cirebon, West Java. Two major flood events in June 2016 and May 2018 were selected for the simulation within inputs of tidal height records, national seamless digital elevation dataset of Indonesia (DEMNAS), Indonesian gridded national bathymetry (BATNAS), and wind data from OGIMET. We used a finite method on MIKE 21 to determine peak water levels, and validation for the velocity component using TPXO9 and Tidal Model Driver (TMD). The benchmark of the inundation is taken from the maximum water level of the simulation. This study utilized ArcGIS for the spatial analysis of tidal flood distribution upon solar salt production area, particularly where the tides are dominated by local factors. The results indicated that during the peak events in June 2016 and May 2018, about 83% to 84% of salt ponds were being inundated, respectively. The accurate identification of flooded areas also provided valuable information for tidal flood assessment of marginal agriculture in data-scarce region.

“…Agricultural risk and rural poverty closely relate to the anti-poverty agenda in many countries, especially in developing countries [10]. Due to natural disasters, volatility of farming income makes expenditure on the important thing become ignored due to focus on the main expenditure such as food [11,12]. People who are at a low-income level are more vulnerable to disaster impacts [64].…”

“…Indonesia is indeed one of the countries that are frequently hit by various disasters, and is a country depending much on agriculture. As the sector that becomes livelihood for many people, agriculture can lead to a crisis on farmers' lives when this sector is hit by disaster [11,12]. Developing countries such as Indonesia in facing disaster is different from developed countries where they do have more advanced technology in predicting disasters occurrences.…”

Indonesia experiences various disasters that affect human life in the economic and social aspects. Those disasters also affect the agriculture sector, and farmers have to face destroyed land and crop loss. The lives of farmers become more vulnerable. This paper presents the various disasters in Indonesia that affect agriculture, how the farmers' lives get affected, and how the farmers cope with the impacts of the disasters with various mitigation strategies. Management of disaster risk reduction is being conducted by farmers with their local wisdom such as using predicting climate change with pranata mangsa in Java, and applying pikukuh for earthquake resistant house construction in Badduy Tribe. It is supported by the relevant stakeholders that, time by time, gets more support with advanced sciences. Farmers do have their own ways to cope with disasters, but other parties' involvement is needed to make disaster risk reduction management more effective such as through education or direct and indirect aids. Farmers cannot work along for the disaster mitigation, therefore good inter stakeholder coordination is needed.

“…It turns out that salt as an important commodity will always be contested through the strength of the political economy. Import policy is one form of global economic liberalization in salt, although this policy has an impact on the marginalization of salt farmers (Rochwulaningsih, 2008); (Helmi & Sasaoka, 2018). The salt import policy by the state as a form of economic liberalization eventually leads to the government's partisanship towards the salt-farming community to strengthen the economy through domestic policies that were for the people but actually failed (Boenarco, 2012.…”

This article discusses the issues of religious and cultural resistance of Madurese salt farming communities as portrayed in the religious tradition of nyadar ritual. Nyadar is an annual religious tradition carried out by Madurese salt farming communities in Sumenep district, precisely in Pinggir Papas Village, Kalianget District and Gersik Putih Village, Gapura District, to conduct cultural resistance against the hegemony and dominance of the Salt Farming Corporation and Madurese salt farming community elites. The purpose of this study is to reveal changes in the cultural situation of the Madurese salt farming community. This study uses an ethnographic method with a constructivist paradigm with data collection methods using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions (FGD). The result of this research found that nyadar is a form of religious rituals that illustrates the solidarity of the community in fighting against the shackles of poverty and helplessness to fight the hegemony and domination of the economic liberalism capitalism in the globalization of the global salt economy which tends to favor the salt corporation, the owners of salt farm land, the religious figures, and the Madurese elites. The cultural resistance of the salt farming community is portrayed in the rejection of the various policies that will be enforced by the Government, PT. Garam, as well as salt corporates in the religious ritual tradition of nyadar including in determining the time of event, religious tourism destinations, and financial support to celebrate the religious ritual activities of nyadar.
