“…Second, the spatial and individual differences in how risks are perceived, and the diversity of knowledge sources used by farmers, underline the need for improving how information about climate and climate-related risks is communicated (Moser, 2010;Nerlich et al, 2010). In the case of imminent threats, enabling access to and improving the trust in early warning information is critical (Birkmann et al, 2013;Su et al, 2015). In the case of more distant and uncertain risks, the challenge is to link awareness and understanding of potential impacts to risk perceptions, management practices and strategies, probably through social learning processes (Lebel et al, 2010;Baird et al, 2014).…”

Perceptions of climate-related risks and awareness of climate change of fish cage farmers in northern Thailand

How climate risks are understood and perceived by farmers is important because it can influence their management practices. Farmers in Northern Thailand who rear fish in floating cages in rivers can cope with modest fluctuations in water levels, but appear vulnerable to more extreme changes in flow. This study used in-depth interviews and a quantitative survey across many sites to explore how fish farmers perceive climaterelated risks and understand climate change. Important climate-related risks -such as floods and droughts -vary by season, year and location, and are modified by water infrastructure. Recent experience of negative impacts increases levels of concern about risks. Risks from droughts were perceived to have significantly worsened. The overall level of awareness of climate change among fish farmers is high, suggesting that future work should focus on building on from how farmers manage risks under the current climate, to then take into account climate change. This study shows that a good understanding of risk perception is likely to be important in improving climate risk management, and thus adaptation to climate change.

“…Pengalaman menghadapi bencana alam diakumulasi menjadi pengetahuan mitigasi seperti membentuk tradisi hingga kemampuan memprediksi datangnya bencana alam secara lokal pada konteks tertentu (Permana, Nasution, dan Gunawijaya 2011). Menurut Haggett (1991; Birkmann (2012), proses kultural ini memiliki irisan pengetahuan terhadap proses ilmiah, namun cukup sulit untuk mensosialisasikannya (Birkmann, Chang Seng, dan Setiadi 2013).…”

“…Tahap kedua adalah membuat diskusi konsep budaya mitigasi berdasarkan kapasitasnya (Voss 2008). Dengan memaparkan kapasitas, peran mandat (credential) dapat terlihat pada (1) Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang berada di lahan berkontur landai dengan cakupan luas sekitar 8600m 2 dengan rincian massa atau fasilitas: (1) rumah ketua adat (imah gede), (2) sekretariat (girang seurat), (3) dua unit rumah sesepuh adat (imah kokolot), (4) aula (bale pangriungan), (5) tempat kesenian (imah talu), (6) beberapa unit lumbung padi (leuit), dan (7) rumah penduduk (imah). (Gambar 2) Fasilitas ini tidak hanya berperan sebagai fasilitas pengunjung yang datang ke Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang, tetapi juga sebagai contoh fisik perkampungan di Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang yang difungsikan sebagai tempat tinggal bagi para leluhur pada masanya.…”

Kearifan lokal dapat dipelajari melalui penelusuran terhadap kampung adat secara fisik pada tata ruang kawasan, bentuk arsitektur, dan aktivitas sehari-hari. Organisasi yang berlaku dalam sebuah lingkungan menjadi faktor penting dalam mengelola budaya mitigasi yang kontekstual. Adanya wewenang (mandat) dapat menguasai nilai/modal kultural dan menciptakan unsur simbolis seperti kepercayaan atau keyakinan. Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang diambil sebagai kasus kajian untuk mengungkap sejarah dan peran mandat dalam budaya mitigasi bencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengamati adanya peran mandat beserta dampaknya dalam mitigasi bencana. Peran mandat juga ditelaah untuk melihat adanya upaya pelestarian nilai-nilai kearifan lokal terhadap perkembangan jaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-kualitatif dengan menelusuri fenomena dan artefak yang ada di lapangan. Analisis dilakukan melalui dua tahap. Tahap pertama adalah membuat tabel upaya mitigasi berdasarkan program atau artefak yang masih ada. Tahap ke-dua adalah membuat diskusi konsep budaya mitigasi berdasarkan kapasitasnya. Adapun mitigasi yang terlihat dari program dan artefak Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang adalah risiko kebakaran, bencana gempa bumi, dan tanah longsor. Proses menentukan mandat sepadan dengan kapasitas adaptif karena tahap ini cenderung mengarah kepada pantangan atau perintah dalam sebuah program yang diselenggarakan secara sistematis pada konteks tertentu.

“…A state may mitigate potential conflict by providing livelihood assistance when necessary, furthermore a well-developed and functioning government may have adaptation or mitigation plans in place to deal with the challenges of climate change [ 16 ]. In particular, the development of early warning systems could aid in early and informed decision-making, which would allow migration to be successfully employed as an adaptation measure, as opposed to a last resort [ 66 ].…”

The potential link between climate change, migration, and conflict has been widely discussed and is increasingly viewed by policy makers as a security issue. However, considerable uncertainty remains regarding the role that climate variability and change play among the many drivers of migration and conflict. The overall objective of this paper is to explore the potential pathways linking climate change, migration and increased risk of conflict. We review the existing literature surrounding this issue and break the problem into two components: the links between climate change and migration, and those between migration and conflict. We found a large range of views regarding the importance of climate change as a driver for increasing rates of migration and subsequently of conflict. We argue that future research should focus not only on the climate-migration-conflict pathway but also work to understand the other pathways by which climate variability and change might exacerbate conflict. We conclude by proposing five questions to help guide future research on the link between climate change, migration, and conflict.
