People’s Perception on Impact of Climate Change in Paschim Amawa and Tikuligadh Village Development Committee (VDC) Of Rupandehi District, Nepal

The issue of climate change is one of the global challenges and great concerns to humanity. Although Nepal has a negligible share in the global emissions of greenhouse gases, it is more vulnerable to climate change impact due to its fragile mountain ecosystems. A study was carried out to assess people’s understanding on climate change, identify its impacts on their communities and document how they are coping with those impacts. Descriptive and explorative research designs with purposive sampling method were used to collect data from the field. The study showed that more than 50% respondents were familiar with the concepts of climate change and remaining had no idea. Those who were familiar with climate change got knowledge about it from mass media. The result of this study showed that the climate change has several impacts on the study area such as decrease in agricultural production, loss in biodiversity, decrease in water resources and increase in health hazards. During field survey, people suggested that the Government of Nepal must have effective plan, policy and program for holistic approach and develop low cost technology for adaptation to climate change impact and improve livelihood.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v4i1.12185International Journal of Environment Volume-4, Issue-1, Dec-Feb 2014/15, page: 141-160

Yogyakarta City

Green infrastructure has been indicated as promising measure for adaptation to climate change impact, especially in densely populated cities where green spaces in a big scale were rare. Yogyakarta City expected would be a good representative case study, due the urban density and limited green spaces. In order to gain a better understanding and awareness of climate change impact and green infrastructure benefit, it is important to find out how people think about issues related to it. Perceptual studies can generate more understanding of the research areas, and knowing the preferences for implementing green infrastructure can help urban planners identify more effective policy responses. The objective of this study is to analyze public perceptions and preferences on climate change and green infrastructure in Yogyakarta City. The study area located in Yogyakarta City is divided into three groups based on the difference proportion of surface temperature. Data collecting conducted by online questionnaires, and samples selection used accidental sampling method. Descriptive statistics used to analyze descriptive data, chi square and Kruskal-Wallis analysis were used to determine the differences between three study areas, then logistic regression method used to find out the influence of socio-demographic factors. The results showed that there were not many significant differences between the 3 groups of study areas on community perceptions and preferences, while socio-demographic factors such as age, occupation, and gender affect some results of community perceptions and preferences. This study explains how community’s awareness of climate change impacts and understanding of the benefits of green infrastructure and local preferences, so that the benefits of green infrastructure can be accepted by the community effectively.

AbstractClimate-induced floods are increasing in Africa. The need to evolve framework for adaptation to climate change impact (CCI) among flood-prone fish farmers necessitated this study. Based on availability, 60 farming active flood-experienced fish farmers were purposively selected from flood-prone (Gulu and Kibuku) regions in climate hotspot Uganda. These were assessed for CCI adaptation tendencies in their socioeconomics and farming operation/techniques (FOI) indices, CCI awareness, CCI adaptation strategies, and perceived required interventions (RIs) using structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed through descriptive and multivariate regression tools. Respondents were mostly male, adults, educated, Christian, married, medium-sized family, social group members, 1–5 years’ experience, medium-sized farms, and government trained. Income was 1.0–6.0 million Ugx/year. In FOI, semi-intensive culture system, use of rainwater plus groundwater, small-sized (< 0.5 ha) ponds, ponds possession of inlets and outlets, seasonal farming and mixed culture/farming dominated. Most respondents were aware of CCI, while erratic rainfall with floods and prolonged drought mostly impacted farming. AS-Adaptation Strategy were changed stocking time and livelihood diversification. Communication technology and social group’s membership enhanced adaptation, while inadequate awareness constrains adaptation. Respondents’ RI(s) were tree planting, irrigation and pond perimeter trenching. Gender, government training, farm size, water sources and presence of inlet and outlets in ponds (FOI) predicted adaptation (R = 0.802, R2 = 0.64, P < 0.05). Some socioeconomic, technical and awareness indices could assist CCI flexibility. However, the statistically significant predictors of adaptation, identified adaptive strategies, constraints to adaptation and required interventions could be integrated into a framework for effective CCI adaptation for sustainable fish farming in flood-prone scenarios.

Nagan Raya salah satu Kabupaten yang ada di Provinsi Aceh yang mempunyai ekosistem gambut, dalam rangka pemeliharaan ekosistem gambut sebagaimana diatur di dalam Pasal 33 Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 71 Tahun 2014 tentang Pengelolaan dan Perlindungan Ekosistem Gambut menyebutkan “pemeliharaan ekosistem gambut sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 17 ayat (1) huruf b dilakukan melalui upaya pencadangan ekosistem gambut dan pelestarian fungsi ekosistem gambut sebagai pengendali dampak perubahan iklim. Pemerintah Kabupaten Nagan Raya telah menetapkan ekosistem gambut dengan fungsi lindung dalam Pasal 27 ayat (2) Qanun Kabupaten Nagan Raya Nomor 11 Tahun 2015 tentang Rencana Tata Ruang dan Wilayah Kabupaten Nagan Raya kawasan lindung gambut sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) seluas 11.380,71 ha terletak di Kecamatan Darul Makmur, berada di Gampong Babah Lueng, Kuala Seumayam, Pulo Kruet, dan Sumber Bakti. Praktinya, ekosistem gambut tersebut telah dimanfaatkan sehingga fungsi dari kawasan tersebut telah beralih. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa upaya pencadangan dan pelestarian fungsi ekosistem gambut di Kabupaten Nagan Raya tidak dilakukan secara maksimal sehingga eksploitasi rawa gambut masih terus terjadi pada ekosistem gambut dengan fungsi lindung.Nagan Raya is one of regencies in Aceh Province that has peat ecosystem region, concerning the protection of peat ecosystem as regulated in Article 33 of the Government Regulation Number 71, 2014 regarding Ecosystem Management and Protection of peat states that an effort of taking care peat ecosystem as worded in Article 17 ( 1 ) point b is done through the reservation of peat ecosystem and conservation function as controller of climate change impact. The District Government of Nagan Raya has determined that the protection function of peat ecosystem and sustainability function into Article 27 ( 2 ) Nagan Raya District Local Law (Qanun) Number 11, 2015 regarding spatial planning and Nagan Raya District Area of peat ecosystem as meant by versus ( 1 ) with its width 11.380,71 ha located in Kecamatan Darul Makmur is widespread in Babah Lueng Village, Kuala Seumayam, Pulo Kruet and Sumber Bakti. In practice, the peat areas in Babah Lueng Village, Kuala Seumayam, Pulo Kruet and Sumber Bakti has been converted by palm plantation and people amongst the plantation area hence the function of the area has been transformed. The research shows that an effort of conserving and reserving the peat ecosystem in Nagan Raya District has not been optimal hence its exploitation is still taking place at the ecosystem and its protection function.
