Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji tiga persoalan utama mengenai praktik transaksi barter di Dusun Pajan Barat, Pulau Sepanjang, Kabupaten Sumenep. Ketiga persoalan tersebut meliputi mekanisme transaksi barter hasil pertanian yang berlaku di wilayah setempat, tinjauan perspektif ekonomi Islam terhadap pelaksanaan barter tersebut, serta kontribusi dan peran transaksi barter hasil pertanian dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan pokok warga Dusun Pajan Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Prosedur pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara semi terstruktur, observasi partisipatif, serta dokumentasi langsung di lokasi penelitian, yakni Dusun Pajan Barat, Pulau Sepanjang, Kabupaten Sumenep. Teknik analisis data yang diterapkan meliputi tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data (data display), dan penarikan kesimpulan atau verifikasi, yang kemudian diuji keabsahannya menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme praktik barter berlangsung secara rutin seminggu dua kali (Senin dan Jumat) di lokasi rumah warga dengan menukarkan hasil pertanian (seperti singkong dan pepaya) dengan kebutuhan pokok (seperti ikan dan gula). Ditinjau dari perspektif ekonomi Islam, praktik barter masyarakat setempat telah memenuhi prinsip-prinsip syariah seperti keadilan ('adl), kebenaran (al-shidqah) yang mengutamakan kejujuran kualitas barang, kerelaan (an-taradhin) tanpa paksaan, serta terhindar dari unsur riba fadl karena komoditas yang ditukarkan berbeda jenis. Selain itu, transaksi barter berperan sebagai mekanisme pertahanan ekonomi lokal dan alternatif pengganti uang saat kondisi mendesak agar warga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pangan pokok tanpa harus berutang, meskipun posisinya berfungsi sebagai pelengkap kebutuhan harian dan bukan pengganti uang tunai secara mutlak.


Deskripsi Lain

This study aims to examine three main problems regarding the practice of barter transactions in West Pajan Hamlet, Sepanjang Island, Sumenep Regency. The three issues include the mechanism of barter transactions for agricultural products that apply in the local area, a review of the Islamic economic perspective on the implementation of barter, and the contribution and role of barter transactions in improving the material welfare of the residents of West Pajan Hamlet. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a case study approach. The data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and direct documentation at the research location, namely West Pajan Hamlet, Pulau Sepanjang, Sumenep Regency. The data analysis techniques applied include the stages of data reduction, data presentation (data display), and drawing conclusions verification, which are then tested for validity using source triangulation. The results of the study showed that the mechanism of barter practice took place routinely twice a week (Monday and Friday) at the location of residents' houses by exchanging agricultural products (such cassava and papaya) for basic necessities (such fish and sugar). Viewed from the perspective of Islamic economics, the barter practice of the local community has fulfilled sharia principles such justice ('adl), truth (al-shidqah) which prioritizes honesty in the quality of goods, willingness (an-taradhin) without coercion, and avoidance of the element of riba fadl because the commodities exchanged are of different types. In addition, barter transactions act a mechanism for local economic defense and an alternative to money when conditions are urgent so that residents can meet basic food needs without to go into debt, even though their position serves a complement to daily needs and not an absolute replacement for cash.
