Abstract

Lebak Swampland is a sub-optimal land that has potentially been used by the community as an integrated agricultural land, generally located in basin areas, forming in various depths and durations of inundation, so that it requires different management techniques. In its management, lebak swampland is widely used for swamp rice farming and fisheries (aquaculture and fisheries). In addition, land management by maintaining local wisdom is unique, different from rice farming and fisheries in general. Nevertheless, It’s still an option for rice farmers in Ogan Ilir Regency. This study aimed to (1) Identify local wisdom in managing shallow and medium lebak swamp type; (2) Analyze the relation of local wisdom on rice farmers’ household incomes. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews of 100 lebak swamp rice farmers in Ogan Ilir Regency. Data processing was carried out using descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study showed that (1) local wisdom in managing lebak swampland was still maintained by farmers at almost every stage of rice farming and fisheries activities (cultivation or capture fisheries); (2) local wisdom of rice farming at the preparation i.e. ngambokhan or ngerancam and maintenance stages i.e. by using a sickle had a significantly influence on rice farmers’ household income.
