Kabupaten aceh besar, khususnya kecamatan indrapuri, merupakan salah satu sentra produksi padi di provinsi aceh. meskipun produksi padi di provinsi aceh menunjukkan tren peningkatan, data menunjukkan bahwa produksi di aceh besar mengalami fluktuasi, dengan penurunan signifikan pada tahun 2023. di sisi lain, pendapatan petani di indrapuri masih tergolong rendah, meskipun memiliki potensi produksi yang besar. kondisi ini mengindikasikan adanya tingkat kerentanan sosial ekonomi yang cukup tinggi di kalangan petani padi. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat kerentanan sosial ekonomi usahatani padi di kecamatan indrapuri akibat dari adanya ancaman seperti perbahan cuaca, serangan hama dan penyakit, serta perubahan harga pasar. penelitian ini dilakukan di kecamatan indrapuri sebagai salah satu sentra produksi padi terbesar di provinsi aceh. objek penelitian fokus pada kerentanan sosial ekonomi petani yang diukur melalui tiga variabel utama, yaitu keterpaparan, sensitivitas, dan kapasitas adaptasi. populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh petani padi sawah di kecamatan indrapuri sebanyak 3.538 orang. penentuan sampel menggunakan simple random sampling diambil sebanyak 100 orang petani padi yang tersebar di 10 desa dengan jumlah petani terbanyak, yaitu desa lheue, seuremo, ulee ue, limo blang, aneuk glee, empe ara, cot mancong, grot manyang, lam lhunge, dan manggra. data yang dikumpulkan terdiri dari data primer melalui wawancara langsung dengan petani, serta data sekunder yang diperoleh dari instansi terkait. analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode social-economic vulnerability index (sevi) untuk mengukur tingkat kerentanan petani. hasil penelitian menunjukkan perhitungan menggunakan metode sustainable livelihood vulnerability index (sevi), indeks kerentanan sosial ekonomi petani padi di kecamatan indrapuri sebesar 0,29, yang termasuk kategori cukup rentan (-0,41 hingga 0,3). hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa petani masih cukup rentan terhadap perubahan cuaca, serangan hama, penyakit, dan fluktuasi harga pasar. nilai keterpaparan tercatat 0,55, sensitivitas 0,62, dan kapasitas adaptasi 0,31. tingginya keterpaparan dan sensitivitas, serta kapasitas adaptasi yang masih sedang, menunjukkan perlunya penguatan adaptasi untuk menekan tingkat kerentanan.

Aceh Besar Regency, particularly Indrapuri Sub-district, is one of the rice production centers in Aceh Province. Although rice production in Aceh Province shows an increasing trend, data indicate that production in Aceh Besar has fluctuated, with a significant decline in 2023. On the other hand, farmers’ income in Indrapuri remains relatively low despite the area’s high production potential. This condition indicates a considerable level of socio-economic vulnerability among rice farmers. This study aims to measure the socio-economic vulnerability level of rice farming households in Indrapuri Sub-district due to threats such as weather changes, pest and disease attacks, and market price fluctuations. The research was conducted in Indrapuri Sub-district as one of the largest rice production centers in Aceh Province. The object of the research focuses on farmers’ socio-economic vulnerability measured through three main variables: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The population of this study includes all rice paddy farmers in Indrapuri Sub-district, totaling 3,538 individuals. The sample was determined using simple random sampling, with 100 rice farmers selected from 10 villages with the highest number of farmers: Lheue, Seuremo, Ulee Ue, Limo Blang, Aneuk Glee, Empe Ara, Cot Mancong, Grot Manyang, Lam Lhunge, and Manggra. The data collected consist of primary data through direct interviews with farmers and secondary data obtained from related institutions. Data analysis was carried out using the Social-Economic Vulnerability Index (SeVI) method to measure farmers’ vulnerability levels. The results show that, based on the calculation using the Sustainable Livelihood Vulnerability Index (SeVI) method, the socio-economic vulnerability index of rice farmers in Indrapuri Sub-district is 0.29, which falls into the moderately vulnerable category (-0.41 to 0.3). This result indicates that farmers are still moderately vulnerable to weather changes, pest and disease attacks, and market price fluctuations. The exposure score was recorded at 0.55, sensitivity at 0.62, and adaptive capacity at 0.31. The high exposure and sensitivity, combined with only moderate adaptive capacity, highlight the need to strengthen adaptation efforts to reduce the level of vulnerability.
