Abstract

Sustainable livelihoods are key for communities to sustain their lives. However, limited access to and utilisation of natural resources, particularly customary forests, has led to a decline in the livelihoods of the Lekuk 50 Tumbi indigenous community. Difficulty in clearing land is a major obstacle for them in finding alternative income. This research aims to evaluate the quality of life of the Lekuk 50 Tumbi indigenous community with a focus on indigenous institutions' initiatives based on sustainable livelihoods, considering the five aspects of capital. Through in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis, natural capital, physical capital, human capital, financial capital and social capital in the study area were evaluated. The findings show that all five capitals are sustainable in the context of the Lekuk 50 Tumbi indigenous community. The role of customary institutions is recognised as a key factor in maintaining the sustainability of community livelihoods, despite constraints in access and utilisation of available natural resources. The research illustrates the urgency of supporting customary institutions in maintaining sustainable livelihoods and addressing the challenges faced by the Lekuk 50 Tumbi indigenous community.

Bahasa Abstract

Mata pencaharian yang berkelanjutan menjadi kunci bagi masyarakat dalam mempertahankan kehidupan mereka. Namun, keterbatasan akses dan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam, khususnya hutan adat, telah menghadirkan penurunan dalam mata pencaharian masyarakat adat Lekuk 50 Tumbi. Kesulitan dalam membuka lahan menjadi hambatan utama bagi mereka dalam mencari alternatif pendapatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kualitas hidup masyarakat adat Lekuk 50 Tumbi dengan fokus pada inisiatif lembaga adat yang berbasis pada mata pencaharian berkelanjutan, dengan mempertimbangkan kelima aspek modal. Melalui wawancara mendalam dan analisis kualitatif; modal alam, modal fisik, modal manusia, modal finansial, dan modal sosial di wilayah studi dipaparkan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kelima modal tersebut berkelanjutan dalam konteks masyarakat adat Lekuk 50 Tumbi. Peran lembaga adat diakui sebagai faktor kunci dalam menjaga keberlanjutan mata pencaharian masyarakat, meskipun terdapat kendala dalam akses dan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam yang tersedia. Penelitian ini menggambarkan urgensi untuk mendukung lembaga adat dalam menjaga mata pencaharian berkelanjutan dan mengatasi tantangan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat adat Lekuk 50 Tumbi.
