Abstract
Rice ?eld farming is carried out by farmers on various land typologies, and the most common rice felds are called as technical irrigation, tidal and fresh water swamp land. This study aimed to analyze the existing condition and utilization of land resources owned by farmers, land productivity and farm household income on different land typology. Besides analyzing the relationship between economic and non-economic variables in a rice farming system, this research is also enriched with analysis on different land typology. The results showed that rice ?elds showing good to less irrigated system are technical irrigation; tidal (its water system in? uenced by tidal water) and fresh water swamp (strongly determined by rainfall and river water) respectively. The average area of tidal rice ? elds cultivated by farmers (2.88 ha) is higher than fresh water swamp rice ? elds (0.88 ha) and technical irrigation (0.56 ha). Most of farmers have increased their owned area by buying new land. The number of gurem farmers (cultivated land less than 0.5 ha) in technical irrigation rice? elds were more than gurem farmers in other rice? elds. The better rice? elds are technical irrigation, the better cultivation techniques are applied and the higher cropping index was found, the better the productivity level of rice? elds was achieved. The productivity of technical irrigation rice ?elds was not much different from the tidal rice? elds, but much higher than Fresh Water Swamp rice? elds. Rice farming in tidal areas is more mechanically cultivated, which has caused ability of farmers to cultivate wider land and more ef? cient rice farming. Income of farmers describing economic ef?ciency in tidal areas was higher than those of technical irrigation and fresh water swamp farmers. The higher household income was determined, the greater income contribution from on-farm activities was found. The greater income from off-farm activities was earned, and the less number of poor farmers was identi?ed.
