Summary
Pekarangan merupakan lahan yang terdapat di sekitar rumah meliputi bagian depan, samping dan bagian belakang rumah. Sebagai contoh Etlingera elatior dan Sechium edule merupakan tumbuhan pekarangan etnis Karo di desa Lingga yang dapat dijual langsung ke pasar atau tetangga (Silalahi dan Nisyawati 2018b). Hal tersebut megakibatkan terdapat variasi jenis tumbuhan yang ditemukan di pekarangan etnis Bali Aga didominasi oleh spesies dari famili Zingiberaceae (Sujarwo and Caneva 2015) dan Solanaceae pada etnis Karo (Silalahi et al 2018a). Desa Sindang Jaya di Kabupaten Cianjur merupakan salah satu desa yang dihuni etnis Sunda yang masih memanfaatkan pekarangan, namun penelitian pemanfaatannya belum pernah dilakukan. Masyarakat lokal sebagian besar petani dan memanfaatkan pekarangan untuk membudidayakan berbagai jenis tumbuhan yang dapat digunakan langug maupun tidak langsung. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan melengkapi data base tumbuhan pekarangan dan juga sebagai bahan acuan untuk pengembangan pekarangan
