Resilience of Communities Surrounding Forest Areas to Climate Change in the Aik Bual Community Forest, Central Lombok

This research aims to identify vulnerabilities, adaptation and mitigation strategies, and the level of resilience of the people of HKm Aik Bual to climate change. This study uses a descriptive approach with mixed methods. The analysis includes climate, economic, environmental, and community resilience aspects to climate change. The results show that communities are vulnerable to fluctuations in rainfall, temperature, and pest attacks on high-value commodities. Despite the implementation of agroforestry and the use of NTFPs, the level of resilience is in the medium category (score of 300/500), mainly due to high economic dependence and low institutional participation. These findings emphasize the need for capacity building, economic diversification, and awig-awig revitalization to build sustainable climate resilience in social forestry areas.
