Abstract

The research concerned here was to know the economic rationality of residents who dwelled again in their former village after the eruption of Mount Merapi in 2010 and refused to be relocated by the government. A combined research method, namely, a combination between a qualitative method and a quantitative one, was used to uncover the rationality. The qualitative part of the research was conducted first by deciding informants considered knowledgeable about the matter under research. Then the informants were interviewed in turns decided via snowball sampling. Some secondary data were used to support the qualitative research. As for the quantitative part of the research, it was conducted afterwards by turning members of the households in the village into respondents. The finding of the research is as follows. The residents perceive the disaster not only as a dangerous natural phenomenon but also as an economic blessing because tourists’ visits to the areas suffering from the impact of the disaster enable residents to have activities that have economic value. That economic rationality was what motivated them to return to their village though its condition is categorized by the government as unfit for dwelling.

Abstract

This study examines the relation between women and agroforestry in Cijedil and Wangunjaya Villages, Cugenang District, Cianjur Regency, West Java. The study of the dynamics of agroforestry management, which is an agricultural practice carried out on forest land or land that resembles a forest, is carried out using an ecofeminist perspective. The study was conducted in two villages in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. These two villages are representatives of agroforestry land variations, which consist of forest, agroforestry, and agricultural land. This land type represents the level of human intervention in forest land management. The research was conducted using quantitative and qualitative research methods, using interviews and observation as key data collection instruments. The results of the study found that the division of labor based on gender in agroforestry practices has changed. Significant changes were also found in the relations between women and agroforestry, as well as gender relations in the decision-making process related to agroforestry in farmer households. From an eco-feminist perspective, this study shows that the dynamics of women in managing agroforestry not only increases the role of women, but also strengthens the position of women as employers in their own agroferestry land.
