Method Approach

<p>The potential of fisheries resources is still massive as well as the challenges.  One of the challenges faced in the fisheries sector is climate change occurring massively. Climate change that occurs disrupts the productivity and activities of fishermen. Fishermen live with uncertainty because their livelihoods are directly related to nature. So that fishermen are required to be able to adapt and mitigate to climate change that is occurring rapidly. Information innovation and communication are widely developed to help fishermen in sea activities. The technology created is available in various forms, such as android-based applications, SMS broadcasts, Whatsapp groups, GPS, Fishfinder, etc. The objective of this study is to identify fishermen's perception of the benefits of technology and service communication used, ICT relationship with fishermen's income, and stakeholder role strategies in the use of ICT. The mix-method approach is used to acknowledge study objectives using the software SPSS 23 and Atlas. Ti 8. The result shows that fishermen's perception of the benefits of ICT namely facilitating communication, reducing production costs, improving safety, increasing fishermen's knowledge, and increasing income. There is a relationship between the use of ICT and fishermen's income, as well as stakeholders who have an important role in the use of ICT in the fishing community.</p>

Purpose of Study: Climate change has triggered sea level rise so as to increase the height of tidal inundation (rob)in coastal areas. Fishermen face the highest risk since their livelihoods and settlement are directly adjacent to the sea in compared with other communities. This paper describes how fishermen living in the flood-prone areas can survive from the flood triggered by climate change. The house renovation certainly requires a lot of funds thus encouraging the fishermen to seek alternative sources to obtain higher income. Most of the fishermen in coastal Semarang change their livelihood from fishing to cultivating green mussels. They utilize the coastal areas inundated by the tidal flood to cultivate green mussels. Methodology: The approach used in this study was qualitative with the case study method. Sample cases were selected using snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants. Results: The results showed that fishermen living on the coast of Semarang have to face tidal floods with an increasingly high inundation by an average of 1 m/10 years. The increasing height of tidal flood from year to year has forced the fishermen to renovate their houses raising the building approximately every 10 years. The renovation certainly requires a lot of funds thus encouraging the fishermen to seek alternative sources to obtain higher income. Most of the fishermen in coastal Semarang change their livelihood from fishing to cultivating green mussel. They utilize the coastal areas inundated by the tidal flood to cultivate green mussels. Implications/Applications: However, green mussel cultivation successfully gains higher income as well as-as more sus- tainable than fishing. Statistically, it is evidenced by the capability of the fishermen in renovating their houses from pre- venting them inundated by the tidal flood.

This study aims to analyze the comparison of the level of production and income of rice farming using technology and corporate farming at Gapoktan Tani Mandiri in Dalangan Village, Tawangsari District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. The analysis used is quantitative analysis which is used to analyze the comparison of the level of production and income of rice farming using technology and corporate farming. Based on the results of the study, there was a significant increase in production yield from before using corporate farming systems and systems (Second Planting Season 2014), which amounted to 6670 kg/ha after using technology and corporate farming systems (Second Planting Season 2018) of 8675 Kg/ha, which accompanied by a reduction in production costs by 13%. So there is a significant increase in income from before using corporate farming systems and technology (Second Planting Season 2014) of Rp. 17,546,541/ha after using corporate farming technology and systems (Second Planting Season 2018) reached Rp. 28,046,417/ha.

Tanzania is one of the East African countries most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Droughts and floods in 2015–16 had devastating effects on food production, crop failures and livestock deaths reaching record levels. One of the underlying projects of the Tanzanian government to mitigate these impacts is the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridors of Tanzania (SAGCOT), an area spanning the country’s largest river basin, the Rufiji, where it collaborates with national and transnational companies to intensify irrigated crop production. Irrigation, drought-tolerant seeds, and employment are three of the key government-advised strategies to help smallholders increase crop yield, adapt to climate change, and alleviate poverty through the corridor. However, little research is available on whether these goals have been achieved. This paper aims to contribute to the literature by assessing harvest and income levels following the 2015–16 drought. Through fieldwork conducted in 2016–17 in Usangu, a key paddy production area in the Great Ruaha Basin within SAGCOT, data is collected from documents and 114 informants. This study finds that irrigation did not significantly contribute to rising paddy production in the case study. Prioritizing the downstream national park and the energy sector, the government periodically cut down the water access of the case-study irrigation scheme, which exacerbated water stress. Moreover, though farmers widely shifted to intensive farming and used hybrid seeds, mainly, the high-income groups ensured and increased the crop yield and profit. The-low income groups encountered crop failure and, due to rising production costs, debt. Many of them left farming, impoverished, and sought to secure subsistence through wage laboring. This study discusses the shortcomings of the transitions from traditional to intensive farming and from farming to employment as climate change adaptation strategies and draws critical policy-relevant conclusions.

Climate change is a global problem requiring a collective response. Grassroots advocacy has been an important element in propelling this collective response, often through the mechanism of campaigns. However, it is not clear whether the climate change campaigns organized by the environmental advocacy groups are successful in achieving their goals, nor the degree to which other benefits may accrue to groups who run them. To investigate this further, we report a case study of the Australian climate change advocacy sector. Three methods were used to gather data to inform this case study: content analysis of climate change organizations’ websites, analysis of website text relating to campaign outcomes, and interviews with climate change campaigners. Findings demonstrate that climate change advocacy is diverse and achieving substantial successes such as the development of climate change-related legislation and divestment commitments from a range of organizations. The data also highlights additional benefits of campaigning such as gaining access to political power and increasing groups’ financial and volunteer resources. The successful outcomes of campaigns were influenced by the ability of groups to sustain strong personal support networks, use skills and resources available across the wider environmental advocacy network, and form consensus around shared strategic values. Communicating the successes of climate change advocacy could help mobilize collective action to address climate change. As such, this case study of the Australian climate change movement is relevant for both academics focusing on social movements and collective action and advocacy-focused practitioners, philanthropists, and non-governmental organizations.

In the mountainous canton Grisons, much visited by tourists, the forest has always had an important role to play. New challenges are now presenting themselves. The article goes more closely into two themes on the Grisons forestry agenda dominating in the next few years: the increased use of timber and climate change. With the increased demand for logs and the new sawmill in Domat/Ems new opportunities are offered to the canton for more intensive use of the raw material, wood. This depends on a reduction in production costs and a positive attitude of the population towards the greater use of wood. A series of measures from the Grisons Forestry Department should be of help here. The risk of damage to infrastructure is particularly high in a mountainous canton. The cantonal government of the Grisons has commissioned the Forestry Department to define the situation concerning the possible consequences of global warming on natural hazards and to propose measures which may be taken. The setting up of extensive measurement and information systems, the elaboration of intervention maps, the estimation of the danger potential in exposed areas outside the building zone and the maintenance of existing protective constructions through the creation of a protective constructions register, all form part of the government programme for 2009 to 2012. In the Grisons, forest owners and visitors will have to become accustomed to the fact that their forests must again produce more wood and that, on account of global warming, protective forests will become even more important than they already are today.
