"Vulnerability to Climate Change: Adaptation Strategies and Layers of Resilience – Quantifying Vulnerability to Climate\r\nChange in Thailand"^^ . "This report was prepared as part of the ADB funded project “Vulnerability to Climate Change: Adaptation\r\nStrategies and Layers of Resilience”. The study tried to address the perception of farmers on changes in\r\nclimate variables, trends in village level institutions and other socio-economic variables such as cropping\r\npattern, natural resources, constraints in effective adaptation. Purposive stratified sampling techniques\r\nwere adopted in selecting the study area and the households. Four villages from northeast region of\r\nThailand (two villages from Chok Chai district and 2 villages from Chatturat district) were selected for this\r\nstudy. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through farmer surveys, group discussions and\r\nkey informant interviews. The villagers perceived a reduction in rainfall and increase in variability including\r\nonset of major rainy season. The villages have been experiencing increased incidence of drought resulting in\r\nyield loss, non- availability of water for irrigation, increased pest and diseases attack, and migration. Farmers\r\nperceived a minor increase in agriculture over the years; however, there is still a trend of diversification of\r\nlivelihood among farmers from traditional agriculture to high-value crops and other non-agricultural sectors.\r\nOver the years, there have been slow but steady improvements in the human development indicators,\r\nvillage infrastructure and collective initiatives in all the study villages. Increased diversification in cropping\r\npattern, improvement in market access, etc, are seen in these villages. The rural community in the study\r\nvillages tries to cope with these changes by reducing expenses on food, working as agricultural or non-farm\r\nlabor, leasing crop land, making changes in cropping pattern and in crop management strategies. The higher\r\ndegree of impact of these climate-related risks is comparatively on landless and smallholder farmers than\r\non medium and large farmers. They have identified a list of constraints that prevents them from succeeding\r\nin efficient adaptation such as lack of sufficient information on climate change and potential adaptation\r\ntechnologies, sufficient support programs, market and other livelihood options."^^ .
