The basic concept of the implementation of this study was constructed qualitatively, using a participatory approach. The method of study was adopted from the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) method with adjustments to coastal and marine context contexts called Indonesian climath adaptation tools for coastal habitat (I-CATCH). he results of this study indicate that the villages that become the object of research have a middle and high degree of vulnerability. The complexity of the problems felt by the community due to changes in seasonal patterns that occur, especially on aspects of livelihood and social environment. On the other hand, the capacity of people in dealing with the symptoms and impacts of climate change that is quite extreme is still very limited.
