Abstract

The main problems in the development of swampy lowland are floods during the rainy season and drought in the dry season which cannot yet be predicted accurately. Climate change causes problems in swampy lowland farming. Farmers find it difficult to run their farming, especially in terms of determining cropping patterns and planting time. This situation inevitably affects the livelihood systems of farm households. The purpose of this study was to determine the livelihood systems and to determine the level of vulnerability experienced by households of swampy lowland farmers in Sungai Pinang village. The study was conducted in Sungai Pinang Village, Rambutan District, Banyuasin Regency. This location is determined intentionally. The method used is a survey research method, with a simple random sampling method. Data obtained from the results of field surveys are processed by tabulation and followed by mathematical calculations. The results showed that the livelihood system of Sungai Pinang Village community was quite varied. Education respondents above 80 percent are only elementary school graduates with livelihoods as farmers; natural resources are sufficient so that they use swampy lowland to cultivate rice; Financial assets are also sufficient because there are no other sources of income and savings; physical resource assets are well available in the village; and social resources are the highest assets owned due to close family relations between citizens. Level of vulnerability in Burai Village: indicators of human and natural resources are vulnerable, indicators of financial resources, physical resources and social resources are moderate.
