Baru Village in South Sumatra was assessed against the average of 34 villages to understand livelihood characteristics, land use, farming systems, and community behavior toward sustainable peatland management. Six land covers dominate: shrubs, secondary forest, monoculture coconut, rice fields, monoculture rubber, and settlements. The main livelihood is swamp rice farming (160 ha, 2250 kg/ha/season), supplemented by cattle and chicken. Household groups (0–1 ha, 1–2 ha, >2 ha) show differences in food security, economic resilience, resource ownership, and access to aid/credit. Women’s participation varies across land ownership groups, with stronger roles in financial management and community activities in larger landholdings.
