Abstrakt: This study uses the planned behavior theory to investigate why farmers practice Mina Padi farming (rice-fish integration) on rainfed swamp land. The research will focus on attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intents. This research was conducted 2023 on 75 farmers who carried out Mina Padi farming (rice-fish integration) on rainfed swamp land in South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis are the methods of data analysis used, and SmartPLS 3 software is utilized. The study's findings indicate that the intention variable for engaging in Mina Padi farming (rice-fish integration) positively and substantially affects attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control. The most important factor influencing the formation of intentions is the attitude variable. A favorable and substantial influence was also identified for the intention variable on the behavioral variable of engaging in Mina Padi farming (rice-fish integration). Meanwhile, the behavioral control perception variable on the Mina Padi farming behavior variable (rice-fish integration) has a positive but insignificant influence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
