Chapter 6 by Neise et al. examine the enablers and barriers to convene SMEs
around collective flood adaptation measures in order to alleviate flood risk more
substantially in Jakarta and Semarang. This study uses a mixed-method approach
and takes Jakarta and Semarang as examples for empirical research. Interviews with
representatives of firms, business associations, industrial parks management, and
public authorities give an understanding of Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs)’
adaptation challenges. The analysis shows that SMEs rely on incremental flood adaptation measures (e.g., elevating, pumps) and barely engages in more substantive or
transformative risk reduction measures. The SMEs hesitate to engage in collective
flood adaptation strategies due to a lack of joint governance mechanisms and sparse
support from public authorities and managers of industrial parks.
Chapter 7 by Warsilah elaborates on the government’s effort to make the coastal
area such as Benoa Bay in Bali as a better social resilience in coping with climate
change. The objective of this paper is to analyze the social resilience of coastal
areas in the face of global climate change impacts to enrich regional climate studies
and climate change policy in Indonesia. This research employs qualitative research
approaches and using the concept of Bengen, we found that the key to coastal areas
of governance are four aspects as follows: (1) ecological integration; (2). integration
of sectors; (3) the integration of scientific disciplines; and (4) the integration of
stakeholders and using ICM Concept by Adrianto and Warsilah (2017–2018). Data
collection is obtained from tiered focus group discussions. The study of climate
change impacts is important to enrich regional climate studies and climate change
policy, particularly to Indonesia where its sea is a two-third of its mainland. Social
resilience will be achieved if communities’ adaptation capacity is growing stronger
in coping climate change challenges.
Kasim in Chap. 8 explores the level of vulnerability of several coastal ecosystems
such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses. He is also identifying the best choice
of livelihoods in order to adapt to climate change in Eastern Indonesia’s coastal areas.
This chapter aims to explore the level of vulnerability of several coastal ecosystems
such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses and to identify the best choice of
livelihoods in order to adapt to climate change in Eastern Indonesia’s coastal areas.
Methods to explore some impacts of climate change on the coastal community were
explored by Focus Group Discussion (FGD). This chapter found that the vulnerability
of coral reefs occupies a significant level of decline compared to mangrove forests
and seagrass habitats. In the end, the impact of climate change is resilience and the
spread of seagrasses.
Further, Sinapoy and Djalante in Chap. 9 develop adaptation strategies that can be
applied to the fishing communities of the Bajo Tribe as an effort to tackle ecological
changes as well as adaptation efforts in the form of responsive actions to minimize and anticipate impacts by way of technology adoption, infrastructure development, altering arrestment area, network and mobilization of family members, and
diversification of livelihoods.
