Abstract

The Sustainable Livelihood Approach is a concept for measuring human or community efforts in existing livelihood assets and activities needed as a means of life to cope with and improve pressure, maintain, or increase assets and capabilities but not destroy existing natural resources. One of the sources of livelihood in pressuring the vulnerability is irrigated rice farmers, such as in the Telomoyo River Basin. Therefore, this study aims to look at the livelihood assets they have and the pressure that helps farmers in the Telomoyo River Basin and analyze the community livelihood strategies related to locations in the upstream, middle and downstream areas of the Telomoyo River Basin and livelihood assets ownership in order to meet their daily needs. The method used is a qualitative method with descriptive analysis, the data study was carried out by in-depth interviews with informant with snowball sampling technique that has been determined by the requirements (purposive sampling). The results show that the Telomoyo River Basin irrigation as a whole is dominated by social assets and physical assets, while the lowest asset ownership is financial assets. The area of households with the lowest asset ownership is in the upstream area of the Telomoyo River Basin. The pressures that support farmers in the Telomoyo River Basin include pressures for seasonal shifts, including drought, floods, and tides. Based on asset ownership and increasing pressure, several other forms of household livelihood strategies emerged in the Telomoyo River Basin related to agricultural intensification, diversification of sources from the non-agricultural stage, and originating from cities.
