Abstract

Ngadisari Village, located in Sukapura Subdistrict, Probolinggo Regency, lies in close proximity to the Mount Bromo tourism area. Beyond cultivating potatoes as their primary horticultural commodity, farmers predominantly menengage in tourism-related activities, including renting jeeps, motorcycles, and horses; selling souvenirs, T-shirts, and edelweiss; providing homestay services; and operating small food stalls. This study examines the local economy of the Tenggerese community through the lens of livelihood strategies adopted by horticultural farming households that combine agricultural and tourism-based activities. A qualitative approach with descriptive and historical orientation was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 15 purposively selected informants. The analysis draws on the sustainable livelihoods framework and the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that the local economy of the Tenggerese community is shaped by the interplay between horticultural production particularly potato farming and tourism linked to Mount Bromo. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when tourism activities were halted, households adopted adaptive livelihood diversification strategies by mobilizing human capital and shifting to short-cycle crops, notably scallions. Following the reopening of tourism, households reverted to a dual livelihood structure centered on potato farming and tourism services. These dynamics underscore the resilience and flexibility of rural livelihood strategies in responding to external shocks.
