floating market and the Floating Lok Baintan Market.
The government in order to preserve Banjar's
distinctive culture, namely river culture, has led to the
Siring tendean floating market which is active every
Saturday and Sunday in downtown Banjarmasin. But
because of its emergence based on the interests of the
government, this market is not the center of attention
of researchers.
Muara Kuin Floating Market experienced a
decline in existence seen from the decline in the
number of tourist visits and the number of traders who
trade in this Market. While the Lok Baintan Floating
market has increased in terms of the number of tourist
visits, as well as the number of traders who trade. The
above is evidenced by data from the Department of
Culture and Tourism of Banjar Regency, South
Kalimantan (2017) that in the period of 2015-2016
there was an increase in the number of visitors both
domestic and foreign to Lok Baintan by 42% from
25,935 people to 44,830 people. A significant
increase implies that there is an economic stretch in
South Kalimantan, especially around the Lok Baintan
area.
Traders as market participants have become one
of the important indicators of this market's survival to
date. If no one trades in this market, then there is no
activity in the Baintan floating market. Search results
of researchers, traders in this market are categorized
as 2 things, namely
1. The first level trader who works as a farmer
who in the Banjar language is referred to as
"Dukuh".
2. Second-level traders are referred to as
collectors or miners.
This research foccus on "dukuh" is because dukuh
has the choice to sell their crops not at Lok Baintan
floating market but in other nearby traditional
markets. The reason behind this is an important thing
to explore. By exploring the background of hamlet,
this market still exists, with so much risk being borne,
that is, the risk of backing is reversed because of
heavy flows, erratic income and working hours
activities which are started before the prayer becomes
important to study.
The consistency of the dukuh in this market has
become an indication of the presence of social capital
in the midst of traders. As stated by Acil Hj. Bustan,
there is a feeling of being lost if just spending a day
is not present in the market:
Dimapa caranya, diusahaakan agar bisa tetap
bajualan hari-hari disini (how to do it, so that we can
continue to trade every day here). This means that
market players not only rely on the purpose of
transacting only for motives of profit for sellers and
low prices for buyers. There is trust that is built
between market participants through repeated
transactions which are a sign of strong bonding
(bonding) and bridging relationships (bridging)
between communities have been formed through the
culture adopted. Therefore this study seeks to reveal
in detail how "dukuh" utilizes social capital (bonding
and linking) that already exists in the market at Lok
Baintan Floating Market.
2 THEORICAL FRAMEWORK
a. Social Capital and Economy Development
The definition of social capital that is widely accepted
is part of social life such as networks, norms, and
beliefs that encourage participants to act together
more effectively to achieve common goals (Coleman,
J, 2000). Whereas according to Mohsenzadeh (2011)
explains social capital is a characteristic of a society
or group which includes: information, ideas, trust and
cooperation that increase the organizing capacity to
find solutions to community problems.
More deeply, there are three main attributes of
social capital, namely beliefs, norms and networks.
Fukuyama (2002) defines trust, namely cooperative
norms such as honesty and willingness to help which
can be divided between limited groups of society and
not with other communities or with others in the same
society. Trust allows traders to have the opportunity
to build a reputation for reliability, making
transactions cheaper and more stable. A good
reputation fosters trust and will eventually
disseminate information quickly and cheaply
(Murshid, 2011).
Networks can be created through friendship or
friendship relationships that provide alternative
channels for information flow in an organization
(Fukuyama, 2002). Communities can make and use
networks to improve the quality of life in their cities.
Networks help to get information, ideas, influences,
and resources so they can achieve goals (Woolcock &
Narayan, 2000).
McDonald (2015) defines social norms as an
expectation of appropriate behavior that occurs in a
group context. Medium Putnam (2000) explains
norms consisting of understandings, values,
expectations and goals that are believed and carried
out jointly by a group of people. Norms can be
derived from religion, moral guidelines, and secular
standards as well as professional codes of ethics.
Based on the connection relationship between
actors located at different levels, social capital has
been presented as a bond (bonding), bridging
(bridging), and linking (linking). Putnam (2000) in
Heenan (2010) draws the distinction between
