Rural areas are currently faced a spectrum of changes that vary from changes in ecosystem conditions to their socioeconomic impacts. Each rural condition has different resilience in accordance with the respective social ecological conditions. The purpose of this research are: (1) Describing the social ecological conditions of the Amprong Sub-watershed community in GubukKlakah Village; and (2) Identifying the adaptive capacity of the community for changing socio-ecological conditions. This research uses qualitative approach. Research informants were determined by snow ball sampling and data collection was done through in-depth interviews. Data analysis was performed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman while the validity data was carried out by triangulation of sources and methods. The results showed that the social ecological conditions of the community including suitable climate, thick top soil which is more than 50 m, and agricultural products' quality. The vulnerability could be caused by both ecological and economic factors. Ecological factors included topographic contoured soil could cause erosion, decreasing in soil fertility, and drought. Thus, fluctuated commodity prices could also generate the vulnerability. The adaptive capacity of the community in responding to this vulnerability is demonstrated by organic fertilization, intercropping planting systems, and rejuvenation arrangements to regulate harvest time.
Extreme climate is at risk of a water resource crisis. Land degradation provides challenges for farmers to switch to non-agriculture or not worked on. In cases that occur, then several problems arise including 1) how the internal conditions of the socio-ecological farmers, 2) adaptation of farmers to the crisis of water resources and 3) the role of non-agricultural work in overcoming economic uncertainty. Issues relating to the Socio Ecology System (SES) were examined by mixed methods. It is known, the type of soil on land generally is inceptisol. Mixed cropping system between cassava and cane was chosen to anticipate the loss of farmers, especially when water is difficult. The vulnerability of natural resources encourages farmers to behave creatively and adaptively in carrying out their life activities. The form of adaptation ability of farmers is to utilize the potential of dairy cattle and goat farming when agricultural land is difficult to cultivate. For those who do not have livestock, they take jobs as miners of sand and wood. Sand and wood as future savings. Various non-agricultural activities are able to support many farmers, especially for those who experience a natural resource crisis.
Peatlands are currently an option in conducting land extensification in carrying out various business activities. At least there are several things that make peatlands increasingly massively used in various business activities, such as the rate of land conversion in agriculture, the increase in population, and the desire to make Indonesia a world food barn. The use of peatlands has the potential for harmful impacts to the community, this is because peatlands are easy to burn and cause air pollution to become worse. This happened in 2015 and 2019 when forest fires occurred on peatlands in Jambi Province, causing very bad air pollution. To prevent this, the village government has an important role through the governance of village regulations regarding peatlands in the village. In addition, to strengthen this, it is necessary to manage customary regulations to be in line with village regulations, so that in this way the local wisdom of indigenous peoples can be maintained. However, in Jambi today there are still many villages that do not yet have the governance of village regulations and customary regulations governing peatland issues. Therefore, this study will describe the urgency of managing village regulations and customary regulations as an effort to manage green economybased peatlands in Jambi Province. This study uses a normative juridical method, using a statutory and conceptual approach. It was found in this study that at the regional regulation level, the government has given special attention by issuing regional regulations on peatland management, but at the village level there are still many who do not have these regulations. The urgency of the governance of village regulations and customary regulations is to preserve the environment so that the basis of a green economy can be achieved, and local wisdom of rural communities can also occur.
