Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the work patterns of the community in Watubula Village, Dolo Subdistrict, Sigi Regency. This study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive research design. Informants were selected using the “purposive” technique, which involved intentionally selecting seven individuals. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the current economic conditions in Watubula Village are extremely poor, placing a heavy mental burden on individuals, particularly those who play a key role within the family. These economic conditions cause psychological anxiety for every head of household who has lost access to water or their source of livelihood, as they must contend with numerous concerns, one of which is the educational status of their children. Changes in farmers’ work in Watubula Village occurred as a result of the disaster on September 28, 2018, and there was a significant shift from rice farmers to vegetable farmers due to the disruption of irrigation channels, leading to a transition to vegetable farming in Watubula Village.
