This study examines the impact of capacity building on the resilience of farmworkers in Babakan Village, Pacet District, Bandung Regency, using a quantitative associative approach. The sample comprised 74 farmworkers from Babakan Village. Data were collected through observations, interviews, literature reviews, documentation, observation guidelines, and questionnaires. The findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between capacity building and farmworkers’ resilience, with capacity building accounting for 74.0% of the variance in resilience. However, both capacity building and resilience remain at moderate levels, indicating a need for improvement. Current capacity-building efforts focus on maximizing resilience but overlook development needs and cultural factors, which undermines the inherent resilience of farmers in facing challenges. The concept of ‘ordinary magic,’ derived from farmers’ long-term experiences and adaptability to change, cannot be fully realized through training-based capacity building alone. A cultural humility model that incorporates cultural aspects into the assessment process is needed to shift capacity building from solely enhancing resilience to fostering broader development.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penguatan kapasitas terhadap resiliensi buruh tani di Desa Babakan, Kecamatan Pacet, Kabupaten Bandung, dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif asosiatif. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 74 buruh tani yang berdomisili di Desa Babakan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, studi pustaka, dokumentasi, pedoman observasi, serta penyebaran kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif dan signifikan antara penguatan kapasitas dan resiliensi buruh tani, di mana penguatan kapasitas berkontribusi sebesar 74,0% terhadap variasi tingkat resiliensi. Meskipun demikian, tingkat penguatan kapasitas dan resiliensi buruh tani secara umum masih berada pada kategori sedang, sehingga memerlukan upaya peningkatan yang lebih berkelanjutan. Praktik penguatan kapasitas yang berjalan saat ini cenderung berfokus pada optimalisasi resiliensi, namun belum secara memadai memperhatikan kebutuhan pengembangan dan faktor-faktor kultural yang melekat dalam kehidupan buruh tani. Kondisi ini berpotensi melemahkan resiliensi yang secara inheren telah dimiliki buruh tani dalam menghadapi berbagai tantangan struktural dan lingkungan. Lebih lanjut, konsep ‘ordinary magic’ yang bersumber dari pengalaman jangka panjang buruh tani serta kemampuan mereka untuk beradaptasi terhadap perubahan tidak sepenuhnya dapat diwujudkan melalui pendekatan penguatan kapasitas yang semata-mata berbasis pelatihan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan model cultural humility yang mengintegrasikan aspek budaya dalam proses asesmen dan intervensi, sehingga penguatan kapasitas tidak hanya berorientasi pada peningkatan resiliensi, tetapi juga mendorong pengembangan yang lebih komprehensif dan kontekstual.
