Abstract

The impact on global warming is the occurrence of climate change that affect the condition of watershed ecosystem (DAS). This condition causes a decline in the level of community welfare and increases the level of community vulnerability. Furthermore, these ecological changes may have an effect on the adaptive capacity of community living in the watershed area. This paper raised the issue of climate change that occurred in the Brantas watershed society of Malang city. Adaptive capacity has an important role in addressing and minimizing vulnerability in an area. This study aims to analyze the level of adaptiveÂ capacity communityÂ on climate change. This type of research is classified as a quantitative descriptive where data acquisition and processing are derived from secondary data of regional device organization classified into several parameters and indicators then processed using weighted scale and displayed in spatial maps. This paper shows that the phenomenon of climate change has been significantly felt by the people living in the Brantas watershed. Nevertheless, these symptoms have not been considered a significant problem by the community. This is influenced by limited knowledge of the symptoms of climate change. Other findings show that adaptive capacity is not only determined by environmental conditions. The social structure of both patron-client and institutional relationships at the village level is very influential on the adaptive capacity of the Brantas watershed of Malang city.Keywords: Adaptive capacity, Brantas watershed, Climate change, Malang city, GIS, Social structur

Highlights

RESEARCH METHODS The research method used is quantitative to analyze this research, where the data obtained from the OPD or institution regional and research focus on the vulnerability of society in Brantas watershed area of Malang City which there are 4 sub-districts consisting of 11 village
Adaptive capacity is defined as the ability of a system, region, or community to adapt to the effects of climate change
In order to understand the adaptive capacity of the watershed community, it is important to clarify the definition of the concept

Summary

Introduction

Global warming is a problem that humanity must face and no longer a problem of the future.This incident is the long-term accumulation of atmospheric pollution caused by human activity that causes the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at a very high rate which impacts on climate change.Climate phenomena such as floods, long droughts, strong winds have been felt increasingly occurring lately with high intensity As a result, the impact is increasingly greater with the high level of environmental damage. [1]Show that based on the results of the search for the International Disaster Database database ,of natural disasters that enter into the global disaster category as many as 345 disasters. [2]About 60% of these natural disasters are natural disasters due to extreme climates such as floods, droughts, forest fires, strong winds/storms, landslides, high tides and outbreaks of disease.

Community vulnerability is a condition of society that can not adapt to ecosystem changes caused by a particular threat [4]
