Abstract
Indonesia memiliki kontribusi pada perubahan iklim global melalui lahan gambut yang tersebar dari Sumatra, Kalimantan, hingga Papua. Sayangnya, pengelolaan lahan gambut di Indonesia belum mengindahkan aspek keberlanjutan. Hal ini berkaitan erat dengan kemiskinan dan keterbelakangan masyarakat petani. Penelitian ini berfokus untuk melihat bagaimana strategi pengembangan masyarakat petani lahan gambut dengan menggunakan pendekatan penghidupan berkelanjutan melalui program Desa Wisata Gambut Sejahtera (DEWIGATRA). Hasilnya, DEWIGATRA berhasil menyejahterakan kelompok petani lahan gambut melalui dua cara. Pertama, mitigasi kebencanaan melalui peningkatan kualitas modal social, human dan physical. Hal ini diwujudkan dengan melakukan reintegrasi kelompok Masyarakat Peduli Api, pelaksanaan pelatihan mitigasi bencana karhutla, serta pengadaan sarana dan prasarana berupa alat pemadam dan embung. Kedua, pengembangan modal natural dan financial melalui program pemberdayaan. Upaya ini dilakukan dengan mengubah sistem pertanian dengan menghadirkan inovasi drip irrigation system.

Indonesia has an important role in global climate change because of its peatlands that spread from Sumatra, Kalimantan to Papua. Unfortunately, peatland management in Indonesia has not heeded the sustainability aspect. This is closely related to the poverty and backwardness of the farming community. This study aims to determine the development strategy of peatland farming communities with using a sustainable livelihood approach through Desa Wisata Gambut Sejahtera (DEWIGATRA) program. As a result, DEWIGATRA prospered peatland farmer groups in two ways. First, disaster mitigation through improving the quality of social, human and physical capital. This is realized by reintegrating the Fire Care Community group, implementing forest fire disaster mitigation training, as well as providing facilities and infrastructure in the form of fire extinguishers and reservoirs. Second, increasing natural and financial capital through empowerment programs. This effort is carried out by changing the agricultural system by introducing the drip irrigation system innovation.
