Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk peran ganda perempuan pemulung di Kampung Pemulung Jurang Mangu Barat dan menganalisis dampaknya terhadap ketahanan keluarga. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan melibatkan lima informan yang ditentukan melalui teknik snowball sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi. Kredibilitas data diuji melalui triangulasi sumber dan triangulasi teknik, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman. Temuan lapangan menunjukkan bahwa 80% perempuan di Kampung Pemulung Jurang Mangu Barat terlibat dalam aktivitas memulung untuk membantu memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga akibat keterbatasan ekonomi. Perempuan menjalankan peran domestik dan publik secara bersamaan tanpa pembagian peran yang setara sehingga menimbulkan double burden. Peran ganda tersebut berdampak terhadap ketahanan keluarga dalam aspek fisik, sosial, dan psikologis. Perempuan berkontribusi dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan keluarga dan menjaga keharmonisan rumah tangga, tetapi juga menghadapi kelelahan fisik, tekanan emosional, dan keterbatasan waktu. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa peran ganda perempuan pemulung merupakan bentuk strategi adaptasi keluarga dalam mempertahankan keberlangsungan hidup di tengah keterbatasan ekonomi.

Abstract: This study aims to identify the forms of dual roles performed by women waste pickers in the Jurang Mangu Barat Waste Picker Community and to analyze their impact on family resilience. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving five informants selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data credibility was assessed through source and technique triangulation, while data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Field findings indicate that 80% of women in the Jurang Mangu Barat Waste Picker Community are involved in waste-picking activities to help meet family needs due to limited household economic conditions. These women simultaneously perform domestic and public roles without an equal division of responsibilities, resulting in a double burden. Their dual roles affect family resilience across physical, social, and psychological aspects. Women contribute to meeting family needs and maintaining household harmony, but they also experience physical fatigue, emotional pressure, and limited time. These findings demonstrate that the dual roles of women waste pickers constitute a family adaptation strategy for maintaining household survival amid economic constraints.
