LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MASYARAKAT MADURA: Sebuah Strategi Pemanfaatan Ekologi Tegal Di Madura
Abstract: For Indonesia, as an
agro-country, soil remains the important factor of production that can take its
people to prosperity. This has been determined by the ecological structure of a
certain region as well. The later factor contributes the enrichment of
agriculture production level. Unlike Java island that is dominated by sawah
(watery field) farming system, Madura island is covered mostly by tegalan (dry
filed). Having such kind of field, Madurese do a series of research and
investigation. The result is that they are able to obtain a local knowledge.
This is about how to manage local natural resources that sets up an cherished
and equal relationship between environment and those people. It can avoid a
massive exploitation. Local knowledge is a form of environment wisdom that has
been traditionally maintained and inherited from generation to generation. In
running the nature, Madurese cultivates a number of plant varieties. They
include subsystem plants---rice and corn, and commercial plant such as tobacco.
However, not all rice varieties can be planted in tegalan. Madurese hold
safety-first principle meaning they plants a certain rice variety just to complete
the family needs
