摘要: Abstract Municipal governments have to contend with climate change dynamics household-level adaptive capacity becoming an increasingly important component the urban setting. However, methods in quantification of adaptation, and what factors may drive adaptation at household level, remain poorly resolved. In this study, we proposed empirical approach a set 17 indicators assess households change. The were tested from three districts Da Nang city, Vietnam. A survey using socioeconomic data was conducted 617 households. results showed that inherent relatively high term wealth, housing condition durable assets, low for livelihood diversity knowledge Six components, consisting economy, social relation, human capital, practices, municipal services governance, protection extracted indicators. Of these, practices major determining present here, appropriate modification, could be used other coastal areas.
