Abstract

The livelihood of the people of Loagan Bunut longhouse or Rumah Meran are changing due to a need of financing the rebuilding of their longhouse, increasing emigration of younger males to town/ city areas, diversification of economic activities with increasing weight on wage-jobs and a decrease in farming area. This is further influenced by insecurity in terms of land tenure after Loagan Bunut National Park was gazette and
other land developments like oil palm plantations. They also depend heavily on selambau fishing for income in unsustainable way.
