The impact of climate change is one of the many challenges faced by aquaculture communities nowadays. Only a limited number of articles have attempted to systematically review available literature in this field, which has led to the current study, aiming to develop a systematic review related to the practice of adapting to climate change among aquaculture communities. This systematic review was guided by the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) in its systematic searching strategy on Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, resulting in the selection of 20 related studies. All selected articles were assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Employing thematic analysis, five main themes resulted, namely Governmental (five subthemes), Community (three subthemes), Facilities (five subthemes), Temperature (two subthemes) and Financial (three subthemes), along with 18 subthemes. Based on the pattern of previous studies, the review presented several recommendations for scholars, agencies, and communities to consider in future.

With the rise of urbanization, the Malaysian government faces a tough challenge in ensuring food and nutrition security, especially for the disadvantaged urban populations. Urban agriculture (UA) seems to be a feasible approach to be undertaken by the government to overcome urban food insecurity. In distinguishing UA as a vital element of sustainable urban development, the primary challenge is to develop effective programs that engage urban dwellers and organizations through good design and implementation. Additionally, empowering communities through UA programs is challenging. Hence, the major aim of this study is to ascertain the assigned and underlying values of UA participation amongst communities that contribute to aspects of community social empowerment in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The dataset for the study was taken from the respondents (180) who were the participants of UA community programs authorized by the Department of Agriculture in Klang Valley area, and a Structural Equation Modelling using Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) was utilized to integrate the interdependencies between multiple variables. The findings revealed the important role of participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of UA programs to ensure success. Participation should be seen through the roles of agencies, NGOs, and communities in order to build a strong network crucial to the enhancement of social empowerment among participants of UA programs.

Ibn Khaldun on Urban Planning: A Contemporary Reading of the Muqaddima

In the absence of formal governance, the patron-client relationships have become a common internal dynamic among tropical fishing communities. Earlier research examined the numerous benefits exchanged between fishers and patrons, as well as their socioeconomic and environmental implications. Most of the research, however, emphasized a place-based perspective that focused on middlemen as the key patrons and only revealed the importance of relationships in fisheries and disaster management. This study explores the potential role of diverse patron-client relationships in the transformative capacity of Sama-Bajau fishers to the impacts and risks of climate change. Wangi-Wangi Island of Wakatobi was selected as the site of an exploratory qualitative case study involving 14 fishers and six different patrons living in and outside the locality of the fishers. The study collected and analysed data through in-depth interviews, informal conversations, field observation, and secondary sources. Findings indicate that fishers who collaborate with a variety of patrons residing within and outside their localities can reduce power disparities in their fishing activities. As a result, they could develop a transformative capacity to manage the impacts and potential risks of climate change. Future research should examine diverse patrons' role in developing the social resilience of fishing individuals, households, and communities.
