ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY ADAPTATIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN CAMERON HIGHLANDS USING PRINCIPAL..

Climatic change has severe consequences for human-environment systems, and future climate scenarios can be predicted using a regional climate model [1]. These projected data can be used to make climate effect estimates. Individuals and stakeholders can adopt effective adaptation measures in response to climate change if they understand the causes, mechanisms, and implications [2]. The effects of climate change on water resources and community responses in the Cameron Highlands are examined in this study. Focus group interviews were used to conduct surveys in local areas. There were 40 people that took part in the survey. The association between climate change impacts on water resources and community adaptations in Cameron Highlands was investigated using a reliability test, descriptive analysis, and principle components analysis. Local communities were found to be aware of the current problem. Based on focus group results, principal components analysis revealed that the three components being extracted are connected to food security, forest ecosystem services, and agriculture. They were aware of the environmental consequences, and specific steps were taken to maintain and restore the conditions in Cameron Highlands.
