Sanankerto Tourism Village was recognized as one of the best tourism villages at the 2021 Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia award. However, the Covid-19 pandemic led to significant challenges, causing many tourism products and activities to falter. There is now a discourse on revitalizing Sanankerto Tourism Village, highlighting the need to assess the community's willingness to engage in decision-making processes regarding the village's development. Community involvement is crucial to ensure that grassroots ideas, which are vital for development, are incorporated. Engaging the community in the development process is expected to make Sanankerto Tourism Village more advanced, innovative, and creative, while also fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among the residents. The level of community participation was evaluated using descriptive analysis, scoring, and weighting methods to determine its value. The analysis revealed a score of 1,213.10, placing the community in the Delegated Power category on Arnstein's Ladder of Participation. At this level, the government grants authority to the community for making planning decisions, giving them control over some or all of the programs to be implemented.

(1) Background: This paper will present an elaboration of the risk assessment methodology by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), Eurac Research and United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) for the assessment of dengue. (2) Methods: We validate the risk assessment model by best-fitting it with the number of dengue cases per province using the least-square fitting method. Seven out of thirty-four provinces in Indonesia were chosen (North Sumatra, Jakarta Capital, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Bali and East Kalimantan). (3) Results: A risk assessment based on the number of dengue cases showed an increased risk in 2010, 2015 and 2016 in which the effects of El Nino and La Nina extreme climates occurred. North Sumatra, Bali, and West Java were more influenced by the vulnerability component, in line with their risk analysis that tends to be lower than the other provinces in 2010, 2015 and 2016 when El Nino and La Nina occurred. (4) Conclusion: Based on data from the last ten years, in Jakarta Capital, Central Java, East Java and East Kalimantan, dengue risks were mainly influenced by the climatic hazard component while North Sumatra, Bali and West Java were more influenced by the vulnerability component.

This study examines how recurrent coastal flooding reshapes gendered vulnerabilities and capabilities in two communities in Pekalongan City, Indonesia. Drawing on in-depth interviews, focus-group discussions, and observations, the analysis applies an integrated framework of vulnerabilities and capabilities to investigate changes in livelihoods, domestic roles, mobility, and access to resources. Rather than treating women as uniformly more vulnerable, the findings reveal differentiated vulnerabilities and capabilities associated with gendered divisions of labor. Men experience prolonged occupational exposure in submerged work environments and intensified breadwinner pressure, whereas women face sustained domestic exposure, mobility constraints linked to caregiving responsibilities, and limited control over financial resources. At the same time, women demonstrate adaptive practices through livelihood diversification, informal financial management, and strategic engagement with social protection programs, but these capabilities remain shaped by structural constraints. This study argues that vulnerabilities and capabilities result from the relationship between environmental stress and the gendered division of labor. These findings underscore the importance of adaptation policies that address structural gender inequalities while strengthening context-specific adaptive capacities to support equitable and sustainable resilience strategies.

In dryland Indonesia, water and agricultural scarcity is predominantly framed as a consequence of climate change, justifying state-led interventions in irrigation, hybrid seed promotion, and commodity agriculture. This study challenges that framing by examining how scarcity is co-produced through the interaction of climatic variability and development policy in Southwest Timor. Focusing on Atoin Meto communities in Kolbano, it combines multi-decadal spatial analysis of temperature, precipitation, and drought indices with qualitative evidence from interviews and focus group discussions across three ecologically distinct villages. The spatial record confirms genuine climatic intensification: sustained warming since 1949, a precipitation deficit below long-term averages over the past decade unprecedented in 120 years, and structural drying extending beyond El Niño cycles. Yet these stresses do not explain who experiences water shortage, who loses crops, or who abandons farming. Drawing on the political ecology of constructed scarcity, the analysis shows that climatic exposure becomes consequential scarcity through three interrelated domains: material redistribution, where road-led settlement reconfiguration displaced communities from their water sources and dismantled indigenous forest custodianship; institutional reconfiguration, where coercive agricultural mandates, hybrid seed promotion, and technocratic extension eroded local seed sovereignty and epistemically displaced indigenous ecological knowledge; and socio-economic restructuring, where market integration, rice dependency, and extractive mining narrowed livelihood diversity and pushed youth into precarious migration. The study contributes to political ecology by demonstrating that what appears as climate vulnerability is substantially the accumulated legacy of spatial dispossession and epistemic displacement and by treating indigenous knowledge systems as constitutive elements of adaptive capacity whose institutional erasure is itself a mechanism of scarcity production.

This research aims to assess the adaptive capacity of three adaptive strategies applied in Cirebon and Pangandaran by estimating community assets under threat of Sea-Level Rise (SLR) through open-loop system. Firstly, SLR in Cirebon and Pangandaran each month from 2006 to 2100 is simulated using ocean heat flux and ice melting model data by Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5, Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change Assessment Report (IPCC AR) 5. This simulation result is then added with ocean phenomena such as tide, Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), storm surge, and Kelvin wave along with their frequencies. By the year 2100, the sea level in Cirebon will reach 115.65 cm and 148.09 cm in Pangandaran. Secondly, the SLR and applied strategies are converted to be inundation maps of community assets. Overall, the result shows the best policy for both regencies is protect which has an adaptive capacity value of 96.30% and 76.65% respectively. But deeper, the adaptive strategy for each district in both regencies differs one to another.
