ABSTRACT
The devastating impact of climate change is already evident in Indonesia. Since September 2010, there has been technical cooperation in the project of Capacity Development for Climate Change Strategies in Indonesia between the Government of Indonesia and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This chapter shows how the project team identified the focus area of vulnerability assessment in Bali, based on multiple assessments including literature reviews, statistical assessment, stakeholder/policy assessment, and interviews with farmers. Both the domestic government including the Bali authority and an international aid community can support the vulnerability of paddy production in Indonesia/Bali. The purpose and system of vulnerability assessment and potential harms were identified by stakeholder meetings and policy assessment in Bali. The findings from these qualitative assessments were backed up and revised by statistical assessment. The findings were reviewed by interviews with farmers and the interview results helped to recognize potential variables to assess vulnerability for the food security issue in climate change.
