Nguyen, Huu Trung2019-10-212019-10-212018-04-060921-030Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10625/58229The final publication is available at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-018-3292-1Findings suggest that instead of viewing coastal villages in Vietnam as homogeneous units with shared climate experiences, a more effective approach would include better understanding of local experience combined with scientific evidence. Through a case study of a coastal community in Central Vietnam, this paper presents how local people perceive climate change and characterize climate impacts on their lives. The community has many resources that are used for developing livelihoods, which can be used to address a changing climate. Classified into five forms of capital: natural, physical, financial, human and social, each plays its role in enhancing community resilience and reducing climate risks.application/pdfenDOWNSCALINGLOCAL LEVELADAPTIVE CAPACITYCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYFLOODSSALINIZATIONCOMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCHSEA LEVEL RISEVIET NAMFAR EAST ASIAManuscript
