2014 | Tesis | S2 Magister Administrasi PublikPenelitian ini menganalisis permasalahan implementasi kebijakan program Bantuan Langsung Benih Unggul Sekolah Lapang Pengelolaan-Tanaman Terpadu (BLBU SL-PTT) padi tahun 2012 di Kabupaten Barito Utara. Fokus penelitian akan menyoroti rendahnya tingkat adopsi penggunaan benih unggul di kalangan petani penerima BLBU. Penelitian dilakukan di Kecamatan Teweh Selatan, Kabupaten Barito Utara. Kecamatan Teweh Selatan dipilih sebagai lokus penelitian karena di wilayah tersebut terdapat lahan beririgasi semi teknis maupun lahan tadah hujan, dan merupakan sentra penghasil padi. Ada 3 (tiga) desa di Kecamatan Teweh Selatan yang dijadikan sebagai tempat penelitian, yaitu Desa Trahean, Trinsing, dan Bintang Ninggi I. Petani di daerah tersebut mayoritas merupakan warga transmigran dan hanya sedikit yang merupakan warga lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara, observasi, dan penelusuran dokumentasi. Wawancara dilakukan secara purposive sampling terhadap sejumlah informan yang berasal dari internal Dinas Pertanian, Perikanan dan Peternakan Kabupaten Barito Utara maupun dari ketua atau anggota kelompoktani. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan BLBU SLPTT di Kabupaten Barito Utara belum optimal. Pada tahap sosialisasi kepada poktan kendala yang dihadapi adalah terbatasnya jumlah PPL dan akses transportasi. Distribusi benih yang langsung dilakukan ke titik bagi cukup merepotkan petugas di lapangan karena di lokasi-lokasi tertentu jaringan telepon belum tersedia. Pelaksanaan SL-PTT sebagai media pembelajaran petani juga belum sesuai dengan ketentuan. Lambatnya adopsi benih unggul padi ladang di Kabupaten Barito Utara dipengaruhi oleh karakter petani, karakter inovasi benih unggul, sifat kebijakan yang sentralistik dan rendahnya dukungan pemerintah daerah setempat dalam pengembangan benih unggul padi ladang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, disarankan agar pihak dinas memberikan sanksi terhadap poktan penerima bantuan benih yang tidak melaksanakan SLPTT. Kebijakan BLBU perlu dibangun secara bottom up disesuaikan dengan potensi agroekosistem dan kondisi sosio-kultural masyarakat setempat. Upaya pemasyarakatan penggunaan benih unggul padi ladang harus dilakukan secara bertahap dan berkesinambungan dengan melibatkan lembaga penelitian maupun perguruan tinggi.
This study analyzed a problem on implementation of program policy of Bantuan Langsung Benih Unggul Sekolah Lapangan Pengelolaan-Tanaman Terpadu /BLBU SL-PTT (Excellent Seed Direct Aid for Field School of Integrated Plant-Management) of rice in 2012 in North Barito Regency. The focus of the study would observed the lowness of adoption level of excellent seed usage amongst BLBU recipient small farmer (peasant). The study was done in South Teweh Subdistrict, North Barito Regency. South Teweh Subdistrict was chosen as a study location because in this area there is both semi technical irrigated land and rainfall receptacle land, and the area was rice producer center. There are 3 (three) villages in South Teweh Subdistrict, those are; Trahean, Trinsing, and Bintang Ninggi I. The most of small farmer in the area, are transmigrant citizen and only a little are the native. This study used qualitative descriptive method. Data collecting was performed by interview, observation, and documentation tracking. Interview was performed by purposive sampling to the several informants who were the staff of the Office of Agriculture, Fishery and Livestock, of North Barito Regency and to the both the leader and the member of Agriculture Group (Kelompok Tani). The result of the study shows that the implementation of BLBU SL-PTT policy in North Barito Regency was not optimal yet. In socialization stage to the Agriculture (Farmer) Group, there was obstacle that should be faced those were the limited of PPL personnel and transportation access. The seed distribution that was directly performed to the recipient farmer, made the staff in the field strained because in the certain locations there was no telephone network yet. Implementation of SL-PTT as a learning medium for the small farmer was also not appropriate yet to the rule. The slowness of dry land rice excellent seed adoption in North Barito Regency was influenced by the small farmer characteristic, excellent seed innovation characteristic, the nature of the centralistic policy and the lack of local government support in the development of dry land rice excellent seed. Based on the result of this study, it is recommended that, the Agriculture Office may give a sanction to the small farmer group of the seed aid recipient which did not perform SL-PTT. BLBU policy need to be build by bottom up appropriated to their agroecosystem potential and sociocultural condition of the local community. The effort to broaden the utilization of dry land rice excellent seed, should be performed gradually and continually by involving a research institution and higher education institution.
