Daftar Isi:
- Climate change has a real impact on the condition of agriculture in developing countries, including Indonesia. Irrigated paddy farmers are the ones really feeling the impact of climate change. Therefore, we need to understand the perceptions, mitigation and adaptation strategies of irrigated paddy farmer community to face climate change. The study is conducted in Indramayu and Tasikmalaya Regency in West Java by using descriptive survey method, regression analysis and path analysis through Structural Equation Modelling approach with Lisrel TM 8.5. The results showes that: (1) changes to climate variability affects the productivity of rice; (2) perception of irrigated paddy farmer community on climate change and its affects are influenced by internal and external factors; and (3) adaptation strategy are influenced by internal and external factors, whereas no mitigation strategy. Therefore, mitigation and adaptation strategies with site specific location are very necessary improving climate information services, increasing empowerment of farmers through field schools, and providing the provision of facilities that are practical and adaptive to climate.
- Perubahan iklim telah berdampak nyata terhadap kondisi pertanian di negara sedang berkembang, termasuk di Indonesia. Petani sawah beririgasi merupakan kelompok masyarakat yang sangat merasakan dampak perubahan iklim. Oleh karena itu diperlukan pemahaman tentang persepsi, strategi mitigasi dan strategi adaptasi petani dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim. Penelitian dilakukan di Kab.Indramayu dan Kab. Tasikmalaya Jawa Barat dengan menggunakan metode survei deskriptif, analisis regresi dan analisis jalur melalui pendekatan Structural Equation Modelling dengan alat bantu analisis software LisrelTM 8.5. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa: (1) perubahan terhadap variabilitas iklim memengaruhi produktivitas padi; (2) persepsi petani tentang perubahan iklim dan dampaknya dipengaruhi faktor internal dan eksternal; dan (3) strategi adaptasi dipengaruhi faktor internal dan eksternal, sedangkan strategi mitigasinya tidak. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi mitigasi dan strategi adaptasi yang spesifik lokasi, peningkatan pelayanan informasi iklim, peningkatan keberdayaan petani melalui sekolah lapang, serta penyediaan fasilitas iklim yang praktis dan adaptif.
