3.3.2. Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan

In 2009, the State Ministry for the Environment in collaboration with GTZ and WWF conducted a Climate Change Risk and Adaptation Study on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara. This project aimed at 1 developing a conceptual model or logical framework, including details on technical assessment and data selection, also methods for assessing vulnerability and hazards in coastal zone in relation to climate change; 2 identifying climate change related risks in the coastal and marine sectors and susceptible factors related with identified risks; 3 determining the level of vulnerability and risks in coastal and marine sectors in Lombok Island due to climate change at the Sub-regency level; 4 determining the level of vulnerability and risk in relation to sea level rise, ENSO, and tidal storms in every Sub-regency in Lombok; and 5 identify compulsory adaptation strategies in order to minimize vulnerability and risk level due to climate change. Lombok’s vulnerability assessment considered population density, the level of welfare of the population, the rate and type of land use, elevation, slope and infrastructure. The vulnerability analysis was conducted by two scenarios; the first scenario, without considering the welfare of the population and the second scenario taking into account the population welfare. The results of the vulnerability analysis on Lombok Island are presented in tables 4 and 5. Table 4.
