Abstract:

 Jembrana is one of the eight administrative regencies in Bali Province. Located on the western tip of the island, the regency covers approximately 841.80 square kilometres. From the southern coastal lowlands bordering the Indian Ocean to the northern highlands, the region is largely mountainous and forested within a state-protected area. Residents in this region describe poverty as an extreme condition among their population. In 2024, approximately 12,900 people categorized as P0 were identified as poor. This study will examine how poverty is manifested and distributed in Jembrana Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. Data collection techniques include gathering both primary and secondary data. The data analysis technique used in this research is the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. Based on interviews with informants, the findings show that poverty in villages bordering forests in Jembrana Regency is influenced by three main factors: the influence of traditional customs, the economic strength of the community, and challenges in managing natural resources. The costs incurred for traditional and customary activities often become a burden, diverting resources from basic needs and thus worsening economic conditions. The rural poor in Jembrana Regency fall into the category of relative poverty with limited access to basic services. The low income of the rural poor is also affected by their dependence on seasonal and annual forest crops. Efforts have been made to increase the income of poor residents through the processing of raw natural resources, but there are two main obstacles: the lack of community initiative to process forest products into value-added products, and the limited workforce due to the younger generation preferring to work outside the village.
