Dinamika dan Tantangan Penggunaan dan Pemanfaatan Tanah di Wilayah Pulau Kecil
Abstract
Abstract: Small island land resource management has specific characteristic, differ from its main island, due to its geographical characteristic. Moreover, small Island is also vulnerable due to climate changes. Located on Sumenep District, East Java, Masalembu is one of the example of inhabited small island in Indonesia, represent the dynamic and land use management in small island area. This research use DPSIR (drivers, pressures, states, impacts, and responses) method to capture those dynamics. The results show that the
dynamics of land use and utilization in Masalembu are described as follow: (i) land use and utilization activities are highly influenced by economic growth, climate change due to the fluctuation of marine products, and population growth; (ii) climate change, together with exploitation of marine resources,
resulting the decrease of marine products, thus drive the population to start and to cultivate the land for improving their income. In the long run, land products from agriculture and farming sectors become competitive commodities beside fisheries; (iii) the absence of zonation, strategic, and action plans on land
use and utilization control giving the consequences of unstructured, unplanned, and unsustainable land use and utilization
Intisari: Pengelolaan sumberdaya tanah di pulau kecil memiliki ciri khusus yang berbeda dengan pulau induk, terkait karakteristik geografisnya. Selain itu, pulau kecil juga memiliki kerentanan terhadap fenomena perubahan iklim. Masalembu, merupakan salah satu contoh dari ribuan pulau kecil berpenghuni di Indonesia yang dapat mewakili gambaran dinamika pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan lahan di wilayah pulau kecil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode DPSIR (drivers, pressures, states, impacts, dan responses) untuk menangkap gambaran dinamika tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dinamika penggunaan dan pemanfaatan lahan di Pulau Masalembu dapat dilihat sebagai berikut: (i) aktivitas penduduk atas tanah sangat dipengaruhi oleh pertumbuhan ekonomi, perubahan iklim yang menyebabkan pasang surutnya hasil perikanan laut, dan pertumbuhan penduduk baik yang terjadi karena kelahiran maupun migrasi; (ii)
perubahan iklim serta eksploitasi sumberdaya laut yang berlebihan sehingga tidak dapat lagi memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi masyarakat, menjadi faktor pendorong masyarakat untuk mulai memanfaatkan tanah sebagai alternatif penghasilan, yang kemudian beralih menjadi komoditas unggulan, serta (iii) tidak adanya rencana zonasi dan rencana strategis penggunaan dan pemanfaatan tanah membuat pola-pola penggunaan dan pemanfaatannya menjadi tidak terstruktur dan terencana, serta tidak memenuhi prinsip sustainability.
