Description

<p>A social science approach is needed in addition to a natural science approach when assessing the impact of climate change on a region and examining adaptation measures. A social science approach is needed in addition to a natural science approach for four reasons: (1) an overall elucidation of the impact including socioeconomic aspects, (2) an impact assessment from the perspective of the vulnerable, (3) an examination of structural adaptation measures, (4) to complement and strengthen the participation and learning of residents and businesses.</p><p>To show the effectiveness of a social science approach, this paper summarizes research findings using the social science approach, and reports on two studies. One is action research on adaptation measures for Ichida persimmon in Takamori Town, Nagano Prefecture. The other is a study on the impact of climate change on the fishing industry in the Hinase district of Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture.</p><p>These two studies include interviews and questionnaire surveys of climate change-affected producers to clarify the climate change impact structure that reflects the special circumstances of the region. In addition, the studies suggest the possibility of regional adaptation measures to be taken to improve the management structure of producers.</p>
