Abstract

This study is a vulnerability and at the same time resilience study using qualitative method. The study aims to identify the locality of the climate change phenomenon, analyze vulnerability and appraise community resilience. The method used is the ‘historical case method', a study method combining the historical-sociological method (structural history) and sociological history (process history), a qualitative method under the umbrella of the constructivism paradigm. The study results in several findings. Climate change significantly has caused resilience in communities that depend on natural resources. Vulnerability triggered by the negative impact of climate change can be reduced by adaptation so the community will be resilient even with limited resilience due to the high dependency on natural resources. The most important factor in creating community resilience is local institutions' role that facilitates the adaptation. The success of climate change adaptation is determined by the existence and functionality of these local institutions. The stronger and rooted the local institutions the bigger the opportunity for success for the community in adapting to climate change. On a contrary, the weaker and
