ant-out”, whereas who lease out all their lands without leas-
ing in are simply termed owner non-operator. The next sta-
tus is the pure tenant which refers to landless households
who obtain lands for cultivation, whereas the landless who

do not cultivate any land are refer to as absolute or pure
landless.
Overall, only a litte more than one third of all households
(or 56 percent of all landowners) were pure owner operators,
but relatively they were still predominant, controlling 44 per-
cent of all sawah area cultivated (Table 6.10.). Another promi-
nent status is owner cum tenant-in or simply “tenant-in”. They
were those who cultivated both their own and other’s land.
Around 14 percent of all households or 22 percent of all own-
ers belong to this status, controlling slightly more than one-
fourth of all sawah cultivated. Pure landless came third, and
pure tenant came fourth constituting 11 percent of all house-
holds, gaining only 13 percent of total sawah for cultivation.
Owing to the fact that a considerable proportion of landown-
ing households were involved in tenancy, it stands to reason
that only 30 percent of non owners (i. e. the pure tenant) get
access to land for cultivation.
As for the other statuses, leaving aside the owner “tenant-

in-out” status which is only two percent of all households, the
proportion of owner tenant-out (including both operators and
non operators) is almost the same as that of owner tenant-in
(12 percent of all households or 19 percent of sawah owners,
as compared to 14 percent of all households or 22 percent of
sawah owners respectively).
Looking at inter village variations (Table 6.11.), we were
