“…Lower income households may not have access to safe water sources due to cultural norms, which embrace principles of social and local power exercise [16,17] or high income households may be unwilling to share safe water sources with lower income households. Hence, water scarcity is also the result of multiple scenarios of the fluctuation of water management, culture and economic and political conditions (see Figure 1).…”

Water is life, but getting safe water is a question of scarcity. In addition, water sources are being affected by extreme weather and climatic events creating pressure on quality of and access to fresh water. Therefore, it is urgent to know what are the easiest and well-managed ways of ensuring drinking water for everyone, how does the social structure influence the water management at community level. This study explores the importance and influence of societal structure in drinking water management. Results show that cconflict arises during the collection of water between the households and within the household and it has impact on the social connectedness and responsibilities of the community people. Initiatives should also be taken, so that the community management process ensure the equality and equity of access to drinking water as a basic human right.

This paper aims at enhancing the previously formulated culture-theoretical explanation of risk-related perception and action with ecological and institutional connectedness. This is needed for global comparison of adaptation cultures as well as transferability of local knowledge. Differences in climate-related patterns of knowledge will therefore be explained by common patterns of socially shared knowledge in relation to ecological and institutional transformation. This will be done by combining a cultural-knowledge approach with different social-ecological and institutional contexts. Changes in knowledge development as well as in adaptation practices will be described by state-and-transition. The proposed approach combines the culture-theoretical explanation of Values-Beliefs-Identities (VBI) and socio-ecological as well as institutional approach of the state-and-transition model.

RESUMO:A evolução da pesquisa em adaptação é avaliada tendo como estudo de caso as publicações em uma revista de maneira a observar o aumento do número de estudos em adaptação e sua representatividade nos países. A escolha recaiu na publicação Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change e os períodos definidos para análise foram de 1999-2003 e 2009-2013. Observou-se que o número de artigos em adaptação nessa revista passou de 23 no primeiro período para 118 no segundo, enquanto os demais temas passaram de 80 para 130 artigos, demonstrando significativo aumento das pesquisas publicadas nessa revista abordando questões de adaptação, quase se igualando às demais temáticas. Esse incremento se deu principalmente após o Acordo de Marrakesh (COP de 2001(COP de , adotado em 2005, que criou um fundo para financiar a adaptação, assim como a necessidade de serem discutidas outras ações para enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas globais em um cenário em que a mitigação era o principal foco. Estudos dos cinco continentes foram contemplados pela revista, porém, com maior ênfase para países centrais, da América do Norte e Europa. Parcerias internacionais para financiamento de pesquisas tiveram destaque, demonstrando a importância dessas relações para o desenvolvimento de estudos em países que carecem de recursos. Os resultados apontam para a importância da correlação entre mitigação e adaptação, que devem ser desenvolvidas em conjunto.

AN OVERVIEW OF STUDIES ON ADAPTATION TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE BETWEEN 1999 AND 2013 THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF "MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES FOR GLOBAL CHANGE"ABSTRACT: The evolution of climate change adaptation research is evaluated based on publications from Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change journal, which were analysed between 1999 and 2003 and between 2009 and 2013, to observe the trends of studies on adaptation in both periods. We observed that the number of papers on adaptation in this journal went from 23 in the first period to 118 in the second one, whereas the remaining topics shifter from 80 to 130 articles, which demonstrates a significant increase in the number of studies on adaptation policies, which were almost as numerous as the remaining topics. This increase mainly took place after the Marrakech Agreement (2001( COP, adopted in 2005, which created a fund to finance adaptation, thus showing the need to discuss other initiatives to tackle global climate change in a scenario in which mitigation was the main focus. We noticed there were studies in the five continents, with more emphasis to North American and European countries, though. International research funding partnerships were highlighted, which demonstrated the importance of these relationships in the conduction of studies in underprivileged countries. The results pointed towards the importance of correlating mitigation and adaptation, which must be conducted together.
