Identifying the Role of Determinantsand Indicators Affecting Climate Change Adaptive Capacity in Danang City, Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
Identifying the role of determinants and indicators affecting climate change adaptive capacity (AC)in developing DaNang city’s climate change adaptation policies is necessary. However, the methods of identifying the role of determinants and indicators affecting AC are relatively limited. This study used the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmative factor analysis (CFA), structural equation modeling (SEM) and set of five determinants affecting to the city’s AC related to finance, society, infrastructure, human resources, nature. A socio-economic data was conducted in the survey of 1,168 households in DaNang city. The results indicate that city’s AC is strongly correlated with infrastructural, social and natural resources. Thus, the infrastructural, social and natural determinants are the decisive determinants affecting to the city’s AC. The AC indicators and the used methods in this study can be applied to determine the role of those determinants and indicators affecting to AC in other coastal provinces in Vietnam.
