“…However, individuals also supplemented their livelihoods through earnings from casual jobs, and by selling whatever items were left in their homes" (P7, In-depth interview -09/07/2019; cf. Ayaviri-Nina et al, 2022). Reverting to traditional rural commerce involved selling the remaining livestock, selling part of the donations, selling craftwork products like brooms, mats and basketry products and undertaking casual jobs.…”

“…Amartya Sen's analysis of the salience of commerce in his "entitlement theory" becomes relevant (Muzerengi et al, 2021). Sen argued that "what is earned" (in kind or cash) and "what is purchased" are vital for household food provisioning (Ayaviri-Nina et al, 2022). Nevertheless, a recurring concern for displaced persons centres on the establishment of new rural markets and their intersection with the challenges encountered in an attempt to generate income essential for supporting their families.…”

PurposeThe primacy of commerce in livelihood security cannot be overstated. However, in a rural context defined by involuntary socio-ecological displacement, commerce can assume a sociologically distinct character, with far-reaching implications. Based on first-hand encounters with victims of the devastating 2014 flood in Tokwe-Mukorsi, Zimbabwe, this paper analyses how the processes of “recreating” village markets in the resettlement site of Chingwizi impacted the victims’ experiences of resource provisioning and livelihood security.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data were collected through 10 in-depth interviews, 10 key informant interviews and two focus group discussions, five years into the flood victims’ resettlement in Chingwizi. The data analysis focused on the dynamics around the recreation of village markets, and the consequences of this on the household economic standing of the resettled flood victims.FindingsThe paper reveals how the formation of village markets in Chingwizi was influenced not primarily by the ethno-commercial and ethno-economic impulses reminiscent of life in their ancestral home but mostly by new, disruptive dynamics and challenges unique to the resettlement site. The paper elucidates the constellation of factors that, together, exacerbated the flood victims’ overall socio-economic dislocation and disadvantage.Originality/valueThe study provides a systematic understanding of the dynamics of ethno-commerce, particularly on the evolution of village market activities and livelihoods, among Zimbabwe’s Chingwizi community over a period of five years into their resettlement. It brings to the fore, the often ignored, but significant nuances that 'village market' formation and livelihoods recreation takes in a resettlement context.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-09-2023-0682

“…Jika pengeluaran konsumsi masyarakat akan turut naik sebagai akibat ingin mempertahankan jumlah konsumsi awal, maka hal ini menambah beban pengeluaran pada konsumsi keseluruhan. Beban pengeluaran konsumsi yang bertambah tinggi pada satu sisi diikuti jumlah pendapatan masyarakat tidak bergerak naik pada sisi lainnya akan menunjukkan tingkat kesejahteraan individu masyarakat menjadi menurun (Witt, 2016;Ayaviri-Nina et al, 2022).

Harga daging ayam pedaging di Kota Ambon akhir-akhir ini terus meningkat disebabkan oleh keterbatasan persediaan (supply) dan tarikan permintaan yang kuat. Kenaikan harga menyebabkan daya beli masyarakat menurun dan mengakibatkan berbagai risiko harus dihadapi masyarakat konsumen. Diperlukan peramalan harga ke depan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar risiko penurunan daya beli konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan meramalkan trend kenaikan harga daging ayam di Kota Ambon dalam setahun ke depan dan menganalisis risiko kenaikan harga tersebut terhadap penurunan daya beli masyarakat. Peramalan menggunakan metode linear trend, diawali analisis model regresi dan dilanjutkan dengan peramalan harga daging ayam pedaging untuk periode 1 tahun mendatang (Oktober 2022 hingga September 2023). Data untuk analisis bersumber dari Pusat Informasi Harga Pangan Strategis Nasional (PIHPS NASIONAL). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata harga daging ayam pedaging di Kota Ambon selama 21 periode sebelum peramalan sebesar Rp. 37.476,19 per kg atau bertumbuh 0,94%. Rata-rata harga per kg pada periode peramalan Oktober 2022 hingga September 2023 sebesar Rp. 41.976,18 atau bertumbuh 0,65%. Kenaikan harga rata-rata sebelum peramalan dengan sesudah peramalan sebesar 12,01% atau harga meningkat Rp.4.500,- per kg. Kenaikan harga ini mengindikasikan penurunan daya beli konsumen rata-rata 12,01% atau setara dengan penurunan jumlah konsumsi dari 1 kg atau 1000 gr menjadi tersisa 0,88 kg atau 880 gr. Penurunan daya beli dan jumlah konsumsi daging ayam pedaging dikategorikan sebagai angka risiko cukup besar. Mitigasi dilakukan dengan mendorong pengembangan produksi daging ayam pedaging di tingkat produsen lokal meskipun efeknya mengurangi risiko cukup lambat. ABSTRACT The price of broiler meat in Ambon City has recently continued to increase due to limited supply and strong demand pull. The increase in prices causes people's purchasing power to decrease and results in various risks that the consumer community must face. Future price forecasting is needed to find out how big the risk of a decline in consumer purchasing power is. This study aims to predict the rising trend of chicken meat prices in Ambon City in the next year and to analyze the risk of rising prices on the decline in people's purchasing power. Forecasting uses the linear trend method, starting with regression model analysis and following by forecasting the price of broiler meat for the next 1 year period (October 2022 to September 2023). Data for analysis is sourced from the National Strategic Food Price Information Center (PIHPS NASIONAL). The results showed that the average price of broiler meat in Ambon City for 21 periods before forecasting was Rp. 37,476.19 per kg or grew 0.94%. The average price per kg in the forecasting period from October 2022 to September 2023 is Rp. 41,976.18 or a growth of 0.65%. The increase in the average price before the forecast and after the forecast is 12.01% or the price increases by Rp. 4,500,- per kg. This price increase indicates a decrease in consumer purchasing power by an average of 12.01% or equivalent to a decrease in the amount of consumption from 1 kg or 1000 gr to the remaining 0.88 kg or 880 gr. The decrease in purchasing power and the amount of consumption of broiler meat is categorized as a significant risk figure. Mitigation is carried out by encouraging the development of broiler meat production at the local producer level although the effect of reducing risk is quite slow.
