interview would be analyzed according to the table above and farmers would then be
grouped together according to their risk scoring, which would be categorized into 3
groups:
• The household which risk score is between 0-4 is classified as low risk category.
• The household which risk score is between 5-8 is classified as moderate risk
category.
• The household which risk score is between 9-12 is classified as high risk category.
In this study, change in rice productivity was used to represent climate stress that
would affect the household economic condition as well as degree of household
dependency on on-farm production to maintain livelihood condition, which would affect
the household risk to climate impact at the end. In this study, the vulnerable household is
defined as those whose risk score under climate change impact is changed from baseline
condition.
The calculation of household risk to climate change impact was based on change
in rice productivity of each household according to climate impact scenarios, which
derived from the simulation and also coupled with influence of extreme climate event,
which is based on farmer’s opinion from the field interview that they have been
experiencing crop damage by approximately 30%, in most cases from flood.
