Abstract Farming communities in the Upper Ganga basin, nestled in the Himalayan region, are finding it extremely difficult to face water-related shocks, which stand to profoundly impact their quality of life and livelihoods, due to climate change. Often, coping strategies (technological or institutional interventions), developed by planners, become counter-productive as they are not in cognizance with the end user community. This study presents a methodology to enable incorporation of community knowledge and expectations in planning by integrating participatory rural appraisal (PRA) with geographic information systems, leading to better informed coping strategies. As part of this, we create thematic maps which: (i) capture information on a spatial scale (otherwise lost during PRA), (ii) facilitate community participation for further research and planning in their contexts, and, (iii) co-create knowledge to develop a shared understanding of water-related hazards at the village level. The proposed methodology is presented through three case study sites – two in the plains (<500 masl) and one in the middle (500–1,500 masl) elevation regions of Upper Ganga basin. We show how this way of approaching context analysis facilitates community involvement as well as co-creating a knowledge base which can help researchers and government officials with mindful planning of interventions in the area.

Community participation is a component that plays a very important role in implementing development in the village, because community involvement will have an impact on the benefits of development results for the village community, starting from planning, implementing, and utilizing the results of development in the village. The results showed that the coverage indicators were not implemented properly. Village development programs were only discussed by a few elements and did not involve all elements of society. Then there is still minimal space given by the village government to the community. In addition, the livelihoods of local people who require going to fields and forests make it difficult for the village government to empower them so that indicators of empowerment are still not visible there. Obstacles to participation in the community related to the development of Kampung Kamangi include the lack of public awareness of the importance of being involved in any development in the village, and the lack of space provided by the village government to the people who will participate.
