Abstract
Pressure on peat swamp forests in Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) Regency for timber extraction, agricultural land, oil palm plantations, and pulp and paper plantation forests cause degradation of peat swamp forest. Communities living around peat swamp forests in OKI Regency are affected by changes of peat swamp forests and Covid-19 pandemic. This study aimed to examine the livelihood strategies of communities around peat swamp forests due to degradation of peat swamp forests and Covid-19 pandemic. The sustainable livelihood analysis was used as an analytical framework in this study. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The diversification strategy was appropriate to be implemented because it allows the community to achieve improved welfare and be sustainable under peat swamp forest ecosystem change and Covid-19 Pandemic. The diversification strategy also reduced community dependence on natural resource-based livelihoods. Increasing the quality and quantity of human, social, financial, and physical capital were enabling the diversification strategy.
