| Summary: | The research focuses on community adaptation to climate change in the Merawu-
Sub Watershed in Indonesia. It is a part of the Serayu Watershed, one of the most
degraded watersheds in Indonesia that makes the area more vulnerable to any
impact from climate change. The aim of the research is to identify the gap
between current local adaptation and government support that will enable us to
propose ways to improve policies to more directly reflect the reality of local
communities� needs in climate change. The research is qualitative research with
depth-interview method and descriptive analysis. Local people who depend
largely on ecosystem services become the most vulnerable party of the impact.
They have to adjust to the change with some adaptation action. They have local
knowledge to adapt. Community adaptation is different spatially but it links from
one place to another, for upstream area to downstream area. Not all local
adaptation gives positive impact to the environment |
