DRAGON’S BLOOD AS THE COMMUNITY LIFE SUPPORT: CASE OF MUARA ENIM REGENCY, SOUTH SUMATRA PROVINCE
Abstract
observations. Obtained data were analyzed descriptively, both in qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the community collected dragon’s blood to meet their needs when there was no other source of income, since the dragon’s blood was decreasing significantly, so that the collectors should entering deeper forest and stay there. Therefore, the collectors will be grouped as many as 4-6 people. There were two ways to collect dragon’s blood: by bringing the stemmed fruit or by bringing the processed dragon’s blood (resin), depending on the distance of the collection location. Income received by the community from dragon’s blood collection amounted to Rp551,087, which was 20.20% of the total income. Working, income, market and the duration of dragon’s blood collection became a significant factor related to the interest of community to collect dragon’s blood.
