As the result of the analysis of the promotion and barrier factors on the implementation of climate change adaptation, it was emerged that reference factors (vertical, horizontal) and characteristic factors (innovation, carrier) was applied to climate change adaptation.<BR>And the unique issues on the implementation of climate change adaptation was exsisted. The unique issues are as follows; (1) the vertical reference factors are not act upon the implementation for the lack of the national strategy and legal system, (2) the carrier characteristic factors are important as the promotion factors, (3) the innovation characteristic factors are important as the barriers factors.<BR>To make the smart implementation of climate change adaptation in local government, it is necessary that the role of local government is proposed in the national strategy and legal system.
