“…Una debilidad ampliamente señalada es la de simplificar sistemas complejos como el cambio climático, de variables múltiples, fronteras porosas y lazos imprecisos (Hinkel 2011;Adger 2006); las evaluaciones monodisciplinares son criticadas porque tienden a seleccionar factores obviando los fenómenos abordados por otras disciplinas; además, los que proponen enfoques integrados, carecen de métodos para combinar los distintos tipos de indicadores, o para evaluar su interacción (Nazari, et al 2015). Usualmente, se requiere una gran cantidad de indicadores para dar cuenta de un fenómeno en forma satisfactoria, pero su número no puede exceder cierto límite porque los modelos se vuelven inmanejables.…”

“…Sedangkan kerentanan penghidupan akan terjadi apabila sebuah sistem gagal atau tidak mampu pulih dari tekanan atau gangguan yang dialaminya. Nazari, et al, (2015) menyebutkan bahwa perubahan terhadap sistem penghidupan dipicu oleh berbagai aspek yang bila disederhanakan dibedakan menjadi 2 aspek utama yaitu lingkungan dan sosial ekonomi. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada aspek sosial ekonomi petani padi seperti konsep yang dikembangkan Nazari diatas.…”

Abstrak: Rencana pembangunan kota difokuskan pada pembangunan fungsi perkotaan bukan pada kegiatan pertanian. Rencana ini diterjemahkan ke dalam kebijakan alokasi ruang kota. Kebijakan alokasi ruang kota menambah gesekan antara fungsi perkotaan dan pertanian yang berdampak pada kondisi penghidupan petani padi. Aset penghidupan terdiri dari aset manusia, keuangan, sosial, fisik dan alami. Kondisi keterpaparan, sensitivitas dan kemampuan adaptasi petani padi digunakan untuk menilai kondisi kerentanan penghidupan. Pendekatan penelitian kuantitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan penerapan teknik analisis deskriptif kuantitatif yang didukung oleh penerapan metode skoring dalam penentuan kekuatan aset dan kondisi penghidupan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara dan penyebaran kuesioner. Hasil dari penelitian ini aset penghidupan petani padi berada pada kekuatan sedang dan penghidupan mereka berada dalam kondisi cukup rentan.Kata Kunci: aset penghidupan, kerentanan penghidupan, keterpaparan, sensitivitas, kemampuan adaptasi, petani padi.Abstract: City development plan focuses on enhancing urban functions rather than agricultural activities. This plan usually translated into space allocation of spatial management policy. However, this policy often arises the friction between the functions of urban and agriculture. It circumstance affects the livelihoods of rice farmers. Livelihood assets itself consist of assets of human, financial, social, physical, and natural. Conditions of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity used in this research to assess the livelihood vulnerability of rice farmers. The quantitative research approach that utilized in this study consists of quantitative descriptive analysis supported by the application of the scoring method to determine the strength conditions of livelihood assets and livelihood vulnerability. Data collection captured by observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Results of this study are of moderate strength to the livelihood assets of the farmers, and their livelihood is quite vulnerable.

“…There are many different definitions of vulnerability [25,38].The ClimProspect approach considers that "vulnerability" of a given system comes from characteristics of the system itself or characteristics of the environment in which the system is located. These characteristics explain the impacts on the system if risks occur.…”

“…In addition, water resources management for the poor farmers under climate change requires an explicit link between AgWater policy, climate effect reduction strategies and farmers' social living conditions. Indicators, for example, can provide information on four main functions [20,21,25,26]: (i) synthesizing a large volume of information, (ii) showing the current situation in comparison to the desired one, (iii) informing on progress related to the expectation, and (iv) giving relevant information to stakeholders and assisting them in policy formulation referring to the norms. This calls for a development of tools to measure adaptation effectiveness to support climate resilience.…”

Climate change impacts on water resources have jeopardized human security in the Sahel countries for many decades, especially in achieving food security. Many strategies and policies have been made to address such impacts. However, there are still difficulties to measure progress and the effectiveness of these policies and strategies with regard to climate risks. The lack of practical and consensual monitoring tool is one of the factors that can explain gaps in policies and initiatives to overcome these impacts. To move towards filling this gap, using ClimProspect model and a participatory approach, and based on in-depth vulnerability analysis, this paper makes available some innovative integrated and coherent resilience indicators and a new index for Burkina Faso's water resources. Taking into account both climate and disaster risks, the indicators and index developed are related to warning, responses, recovery and long term resilience. The indicators-based index applied to three sites shows that agriculture water is less resilient to a changing climate with a score varying from 22.66% to 24%. These tools can help in formulating, implementation and reviewing water policy to secure water resources under the stress of climate change. The approach and findings bring together, on one hand, social and ecological resilience to climate risks, and sciences and policy on the other.
