Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University, 1992.

This study describes and analyzes peasants' responses to landlessness, unemployment, and poverty in rural West Java. The development of agricultural technology, family planning programs, and rural industrialization in this region largely have failed to overcome the negative effects of population pressure. Peasant responses to this economic plight are documented in four specific fields: wet-rice agriculture, dry-field cultivation, social forestry projects, and non-agricultural employment.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study describes and analyzes peasants' responses to landlessness, unemployment, and poverty in rural West Java. The development of agricultural technology, family planning programs, and rural industrialization in this region largely have failed to overcome the negative effects of population pressure. Peasant responses to this economic plight are documented in four specific fields: wet-rice agriculture, dry-field cultivation, social forestry projects, and non-agricultural employment.
520 $a This dissertation is based on an ethnographic study carried out among the Sundanese peasants in the hill region of Cikalong Kulon, West Java, Indonesia, from November 1988 to December 1989, using both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The Sundanese are the second largest ethnic group in Java and in all of Indonesia, numbering about 30 million people. Up to the present, most studies in Java have concentrated on the Javanese from Central and East Java. This is the first systematic anthropological study of poverty and economic change among Sundanese peasants.
520 $a Poverty in the hill communities of Cikalong Kulon is generally reflected in landlessness, underemployment, sub-standard housing, and malnutrition. Several strategies have been developed by the peasants to cope with these problems. Those who own cultivated land undertake agricultural extensification (e.g. changing dry lands into rainfed rice fields), agricultural intensification (i.e. using short-aged seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides), and planting cash crops (e.g. rubber) on part of the dry fields. The cultivation of secondary crops in rice fields in the third season has hardly developed, although it is encouraged by the government. Lack of capital and agricultural knowledge makes this enterprise risky and uncertain.
520 $a Landless agricultural laborers have developed a pattern of "occupational multiplicity," or involvement in as many occupations as possible, including working in rice fields, participating in state-sponsored social forestry projects, sharecropping rubber gardens on lands belonging to absentee owners, and making roof tiles. Furthermore, they attempt to employ as many family members as possible in productive activities available in the village. The incidence of migration to big cities is low. Many who return to the villages report that they find life as unskilled laborers in the cities too difficult.
