difference between the variables of human capital is the level of education, followed by the
Based on the table 4.11, it can be seen that the level of household education which can be
seen from the indicators of the last household head diploma and the last diploma of household
members, shows that the education level of productive age in household members is at the Senior
High School / equivalent level. This shows that the majority of households who are respondents have
fulfilled the 12-year compulsory education set by the government. This is in line with the results of
the village interview, stating that public education is currently high because most people are aware of
the importance of education, according to the community the level of education is directly
proportional to the level of welfare. In addition, because the village of Pangkalan Baru is the capital of
the sub-district, education up to the senior high school level is easily accessible. At the education level
indicator which has the highest gap is the last diploma of the household member with an average

tend to never attend employment / entrepreneurship training. But according to the village in the
community interview, it was said that general of the workforce has the skills to become a company
laborer, or gardening or have their own jobs. However, there are also people in the labor force
category who appear to have no skills, this was due to laziness to work that arises from within the
person concerned. This is in line with the R41 indicator, which is the cultivation of land for
production processes or daily needs where there is a high gap. It means that the average respondent
Health status variable is variable that has the smallest gap of the two gaps (in this case-
education level variable and knowledge and skills variables). The indicator that has the largest gap is
the number of household members who suffer from severe illness with an average score of 5.37 which
means that in each household there is 1 person who is seriously ill. But after being studied more
deeply, the average household does not suffer seriously ill. Only a small percentage of respondents
has household members who have serious illnesses, but there are more than 4 people who suffer from
severe illness, resulting in a large gap percentage. In addition, the second highest gap is in the
indicators of the habits of household members seeking treatment at clinic / health center / hospital.
Most respondents stated that if there members of household are sick, They are rare to seek treatment
at a health facility. What interesting is that at the indicator of the ability to bear the health costs, most
of the respondents stated that they are willing to bear the health costs independently. This is in line
with the community interviews which stated that the community in the village is already quite good
economically.
SOCIAL CAPITAL
Social capital has an own definition diversity. At the context of life frameworks, social capital
is a guideline to help the community in achieving livelihoods goals. Social capital is measured
through social networking, participating in the network, trust towards surrounding community, and
informal backing in the community. Furthermore, Social capital of Pangkalan Baru Village

Based on The Asset Pentagon of Pangkalan Baru Village, social capital in the community
indicated 66% score where the biggest average of variable asymmetry from social capital in the
Village community is social networking. Followed up by Participating in the Network, social trust,
The reason why the Gap at the network variable occurring because only a few social
organizations are available in the residence (A9). The number of social organizations are predicted
that they can affect to the low of social opportunities for gaining knowledge and chance to gain
opportunities for reaching their subsistence life goals. From the result of the field research, it shows
that there are several organizations are available in the residence; DKM, Business association,
association). Average number of respondents only knows one organization, or even they do not know
about available organization in their residence. Moreover, the interesting thing is showed on the able
4.12, virtually any respondent recognizes that they know village apparatus which pointed by indicator
of relation among the apparatus (A20) indicates average score 1,9 with the level of Gap in 0.1%. In
other sides, interaction among village apparatus (A21) tend to indicate intensity rare, less than three
times.
At the variable of participating in the networks, indicator which possess the biggest Gap score
is indicator of taking action in the organization at the residence. Nevertheless, based on the indicator
of Being Active participation in organization at the residence (A10), shows that house members tend
to be active to participate in the community. But, based on the score result of indicator of taking
action in the organization at the residence (A12), shows that they tend to be active as members of
organization. The indicator of taking action in the organization also available in the Human Capital
which shows that knowledge and skill of respondent as the house member tend to not gain up to the
leader capacity.
Variable of Informal backing and trust towards the residence community indicated low gap. It
means that helping each other culture and trust among societies are good. The good thing evidenced
by the interview result from apparatus village who states that social scores like deliberation and

goals. Variable of the financial capital in this research is covering up loan access, family saving fund,

Economic capability
Loan Access
Family Savings
Based on The Asset Pentagon of Pangkalan Baru Village, community financial capital has a
percantage of 65% which shows the largest gap in the largest variable is economic capacity. Followed
by access to financial institutions, access to loans and family savings variables with the lowest
in this variable, this variable is a priority variable that needs to be improved. The variable economic
capability is built by indicators of the employment status of the head of the household, employment
status / income of household members, the main employment status of the head of household, the type
of livelihood of the head of the household and the number of household members who work / earn.
From the Table 4.13, indicator that has the highest gap is the number of household members who
earn. Based on the results obtained, in one family on average there is only one person working /
earning to help with household income. The interesting thing is that almost all household heads of
respondent work / earn. This can be seen in the indicator of the employment status of the head of the
household (K6) which has an average score of 1.93 and has a gap of 0.3%. The main job status of the
respondent's head of household (K7), if you look at the average score, shows that most of the head of
the household is laborer / employee / employee. Whereas the type of livelihood that is cultivated by
the head of household is food crop agriculture. In addition, from the results of community
representatives' FGDs, which were attended by 13 people, most of the Pangkalan Baru villagers
worked as farmers with a percentage of about 50%, the community of Pangkalan Baru who worked as
fishermen is 25% had fishing livelihoods. The proportion of male and female in each livelihood is
relatively the same, which can be seen in the following Table 4.14:
Table 4. 14 Main Livelihoods of the Pangkalan Baru Village Community Based on the Results of the
Community Representative FGD
In addition to having a main time livelihood, the Pangkalan Baru village community,
especially the middle down ones, also has part time livelihood (another). The results of the
community representatives' FGD showed that there were 50% of the livelihoods made by the middle
down ones, while some made the work of ice packets and fried foods as another job, that is 20% of
the middle down ones and sewing by 30% of the same community group. Part time livelihood is not
Table 4. 15 Part time Livelihoods of the Pangkalan Baru Village Community Based on the Results of
FGD Community Representatives
The common combination of main time livelihoods and part time livelihood is community
groups that have their main livelihoods as farmers and traders of ice and fried foods. However, the
combination itself is not significant, according to circumstances, sometimes there are farmers &
fishermen who sell in front of the house looking for extra money. For the craftsmen themselves,
whoever gets the important job has the skill, and the time is uncertain. In order to sew on their own,
there are mostly women, before there was training in sewing in the Pangkalan Baru village.
Furthermore, the combination of the main livelihoods with part livelihoods, comparison of the time
allocation used and comparison of income obtained, are presented in the following table:
Table 4. 16 Livelihood Combinations of the Pangkalan Baru Village Community Based on the Results
of the Community Representative FGD
From Table 4.16, it can be seen that the main livelihood groups as farmers have part time jobs
as traders. According to the occupational community as farmers, the time needed is only for sowing,
caring for and harvesting. To do this, farmers only need about 3 days a week. For part time jobs as
traders, they are carried out from daylight to late afternoon. The income from the main livelihood as a
farmer compared to the trader is more than twice that compared to the part time livelihood as a trader.
In the main livelihood as fishermen and the part time livelihood as a carpenter, the proportion of time
taken is that the community carries out fishermen's work every morning, but there are certain times
when the water recedes the fishermen do part time jobs as artisans. Aside from being a handyman,
people who have fishermen's livelihoods also cultivate agricultural land such as planting sweet
potatoes. In the livelihood as a laborer, a part time business is carried out by the wife of the worker as
sewing.

Labor is one type of part time livelihoods that is done quite a lot by the people of Pangkalan
Baru Village, especially the middle down ones, as for work relations, work systems and profit sharing
or wage systems presented in Table 4.17 show that there is a working relationship between employees
and bosses. The work system is done by contract, with the distribution of results in the form of salary
or wages.
Gap in access to financial institutions is the second largest gap after economic capability. This
is due to the fact that half of the respondents answered that they are easy to access financial
institutions, and half answered that they are not easy to access financial institutions. Based on
interviews with village officials there are no financial institutions that could be accessed in this
village. The community manages money in groups in the form of social gathering.
In addition to the economic capability variable, the loan access variable in Figure 4.6 shows a
large gap. The results found in the loan access variable indicated that the experience of loan money at
financial institutions has an average score of 1.97 (A17) which indicated that almost all respondents
are not accustomed to borrowing money from financial institutions. The respondents who had
borrowed money, most of them tended to borrow money from public financial institutions which can
Furthermore, in the family savings variable, the percentage of the indicator of income
conditions on expenditure (R1) is 2.43, where this indicates that the majority of respondents do not
know whether their income is greater than their expenditure or not. Respondents tend not to have
savings, this is indicated by the score of 1.17 in the savings ownership indicator (R4). Meanwhile, for
respondents who have savings, based on the percentage of the savings (R5) indicator which is worth
2.00 indicated that the type of savings held tends to be in the form of money.

community development and welfare. The physical / infrastructure capital variables in this study
include residence ownership, quality of houses, clean water facilities, defecation facilities, vehicle
ownership, access to health facilities, access to educational facilities, access to economic facilities,
activity centers, electricity power and cooking fuel sources. The physical / infrastructure capital
owned by the people of Pangkalan Baru village can be seen in the following table:

community infrastructure has a score of 73% where the largest average variable gap from the physical
/ infrastructure capital of the Pangkalan Baru Village community is residence ownership, information
access, vehicle ownership, communication facilities, and defecation facilities. Other variables have a
gap below 1%, namely the quality of homes, access to economic facilities, sources of information.
Other variables have a percentage of almost 0, namely clean water facilities, access to health facilities,
access to educational facilities, cooking fuel sources, access to religious facilities and access to
From the results obtained, the biggest gap in physics capital is in the ownership variable with
an indicator of the floor area of the house (R10) which is an average score of 2.13. The majority of
respondents have a house floor area of only 37m2 - 45m2, with land ownership status being their own.
However, not a few respondents still rented houses. This is in accordance with the results of
interviews with the village which stated that most of the residents already owned their own homes
In addition, the second largest gap is in the information access variable, this variable is also
important in achieving livelihood goals. Respondents in Pangkalan Baru Village stated that, the type
of information media that is often accessed is only one type (R32), namely the internet. The internet
will be good if people can use it as a media to find positive information, but it can have a negative
Vehicle ownership can affect the achievement of livelihood goals. This is because, people
who have vehicles can find it easier to access opportunities to find needs in terms of education,
finance and health. From the results obtained, the average vehicle ownership indicator percentage
(R22) is 1.80. The number indicated that the household members who owned vehicles tend to be more
than those who does not have a vehicle, even though the vehicle they own is in the form of two-
wheeled vehicles either on their own or still on credit (R23). The percentage on the R22 indicator also
indicated that the number of respondents who do not have a vehicle is not small.
Variable quality of house, cooking fuel sources, electricity power, clean water facilities, and
good defecation facilities are also predicted to contribute to livelihood goals. These indicate that the
ownership status of the residents of Pangkalan Baru Village is mostly owned by themselves. In
addition, if you look at the average score of the indicators on the variable quality of houses owned by
respondents, the majority of the main building material for the widest house roof is in the form of
zinc. Whereas, for the widest type of house floor (R13) owned by the respondent, it has a percentage
of 4.97 which indicates that most of it is made of cement / red brick but when examined more deeply
there are also respondents who have a floor with a type of soil, bamboo and ceramics although small
amount. For cooking fuel source variables, the results obtained show that the average score of the fuel
/ main energy indicator for cooking (R40) of 2.73 indicates that most still use LPG even though there
are still respondents who use fuel wood. Whereas, for the lighting source variable, based on the score
on the lighting source indicator (R38) which has a score of 3.66, it indicates that the lighting source of
the respondents is mostly PLN electricity with installed power (R39) which is 2.63, which means that
the installed power is 900 watts. However, based on additional information, it was stated that there
were also respondents who still used lamps / torches as sources of lighting and there were also
respondents who connected electricity from neighbors or relatives. Whereas for clean water sources,
based on the average main source of clean water (R14) is 7.27 which indicates the source of clean
water comes from the well bore / pump. But if you look at the data more deeply, most of the
respondents get clean water from protected wells and from unprotected wells. The distance between
the clean water facilities and the distance of the nearest waste / sewage / feces collection (R15) is
more than 10 meters, where the group of users of clean water facilities (R16) is mostly used by the
household itself. Large water indicates that most respondents already have defecation facilities used
by members of their own household, with the type of toilet they have already been in the form of a
toilet.

ownership. The following are the results of variables and indicators of the natural capital of Pangkalan

The presence of immigrant communities is also one of the changes that take place in
Pangkalan Baru Village. Ten years ago, even though immigrant communities have begun to exist but
there were not many in number. Five years later, due to the large number of factories in the
community, migrants began to live and settle in Pangkalan Baru Village to work in these factories.

there are no corporate CSR funds provided to improve community welfare, so that in the next 5 years,
the employment will be easier, and the livelihoods of the people will be better.

also revealed things that were considered as factors or conditions of vulnerability in the community,
based on the youth perspective. Based on the results of group interviews conducted, the following are
Based on the results of interviews with the youth group of Pangkalan Baru Village, all the
vulnerabilities are caused by the rainy season. In Pangkaan Baru village according to the youth during
the rainy season, all economic activity with any affected livelihood becomes unproductive. This is
caused by the contours of the area which is swamps and peatlands, so that the rain affects every aspect
of livelihood. All youth informants say that the main problem is when the rainy season comes.
Based on the results of interviews with the village officials, disaster that affect the condition
of people's welfare is flood during the onset of the rainy season. The condition is because the

From the VNN diagram in Figure 4.9, it can be seen that in the Pangkalan Baru Village
community, stakeholders whose interests are perceived and the congestion is only the central
government. The meaning of closeness or importance here is only because of the distribution of
programs from the central government, without any deep closeness to the community.

Based on the results of discussions, both vulnerable community groups and youth groups,
several assistance programs from various agencies have been carried out in Pangkalan Baru Village.
The home surgery program was appreciated by the community, the community felt a lot of
benefits from the home surgery program. But according to the community there was still a weakness
in the program, namely the target of beneficiaries of this program. Community involvement in this
program is very large; males contribute to labor in the program, while females cook for carpenters.
The program was felt very well in the context of community development. The community's
understanding of this program is very good, but for people who still need this program just waiting for
In the Raskin (Free rice for middle down people) program, the benefits of the program are
greatly felt by the community in order to help the community in the food program. The recipients of
this assistance are from vulnerable and non-community groups. The disadvantage of this program is
that rice is not given for free, but people have to buy at cheap prices relatively. The disadvantage is
that vulnerable people are burdened because they still have to buy the rice.
In dealing with the factors or contexts of vulnerability, of course people need strategies as an
effort to still be able to achieve their livelihood goals. However, the strategies carried out by the
community of Pangkalan Baru Village, which were carried out by themselves until now, have not yet
been able to fulfill their livelihood objectives. Various problems require support from outside parties.
Table 4. 25 Livelihood Strategies Based on the Perspective of Vulnerable People in the Pangkalan
Baru Village
Based on the table above, it can be seen that there have not been any efforts made by the
youth to solve the problems (from the perspective of the youth) in the village. Because the problem
faced is a natural problem. Problem solving can only be done to minimize losses caused by these
natural problems.
Based on the findings in the field research, Pangkalan Baru Village, what needs to be
capacitated is management of oil palm if the rainy season appears. The community must be equipped
with knowledge on how to manage oil palm, so that during the rainy season, the impact on the yield of
the plantation is not too large. In terms of community financial management, it also requires
knowledge about financial literacy, where people can manage finances during the harvest season, so
that the community can have savings for long-term investment. In addition, the emergence of factories
will have an impact on the broadening of employment, the community, especially the youth, must be
provided with high competitiveness so that they can occupy positions on the jobs needed around the
factory. The number of environmental problems is also likely to arise environmental problems, the
community must be trained to identify environmental hazards so that they can be controlled. The
potential of CSR is also very large if the community can advocate to factories located around 1
