DI BAWAH ANCAMAN MEKANISASI: MOTIF PEMILIHAN BAWON PADA PETANI DESA SAMBIREJO KECAMATAN SARADAN MADIUN

Abstract

Indonesia is an agrarian country and has set a big target to become a world food barn in 2045. To achieve this target, there are several policies implemented by the government, one of which is by intensifying agricultural mechanization. The purpose of agricultural mechanization is to increase effectiveness and efficiency in the agricultural process. However, the mechanization of agriculture also has a negative impact on several aspects such as the lack of agricultural laborers. This study aims to find out how bawon as a traditional wage system is still used in this era of agricultural mechanization. This study uses a qualitative method using interviews, observation and documentation as a means of collecting data. This study uses the theory of Alfred Schutz in which there are two motives behind the action, among others, in order to motive and because motive. The results of this study found that there were 2 "due" motives and 1 "agar" motif that underlies the selection of bawon as a wage system. Where can be concluded that farmers / landowners who still use pawon prefer social benefits over financial benefits. The purpose of social benefits is the establishment of good relationships between farmers / landowners and farm laborers who are mostly their own relatives
