“…Therefore, community members feel that there is not enough capital to start a new life outside Tambak Lorok; thus, they have tended to accept the conditions in their area. People who face environmental pressures will more likely to increase their awareness in building a strong community (Tsai, Song et al, 2021). Various community activities in Tambak Lorok related to local community RW institutions are still taking place effectively, and there is still community participation in such activities.…”

Coastal areas play a vital role by providing some people with their source of livelihood. Coastal areas are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as sea-level rise (SLR), which could damage infrastructure and threaten the socio-economic conditions of communities, thus making the regions vulnerable. Semarang City located in a coastal zone, and one of the coastal settlements in Semarang City experiencing the impacts of climate change is Tambak Lorok in North Semarang District. Adaptive capacity is needed for solutions to climate change vulnerability. This study aims to determine the level of vulnerability due to tidal flood disasters resulting from climate change in coastal settlements. In this initial stage, this study assesses the level of vulnerability and uses a quantitative approach. Through lessons learned by comparing the conditions of vulnerability in Bilu Village, Banjarmasin City, differences in capacity vulnerability were obtained. Tambak Lorok has a low level of social vulnerability, while Bilu Village has a medium level of vulnerability. Assessments related to social vulnerability are identified through individual and community capacity indicators measured at the household and community levels. Differences in the conditions of coastal areas and the impacts of climate change that occur affect the level of vulnerability of these areas.

“…In times of crisis, citizen participation is considered an integral part of society's ability to overcome various dangers and disasters (Lee, 2017;Sitko & Massella, 2019;Tsai et al, 2021). Consequently, the need for this participation has been explored during various crises, including natural disasters (Rood, 2012;Van Krieken, Kulatunga, & Pathirage, 2017), as well as pandemic times such as the Ebola outbreak (Dewulf et al, 2020;Parker et al, 2019;IFRCRCS, 2017).…”

In response to the Covid-19 outbreak, nations worldwide imposed various restrictions on their citizens in an attempt to stem its spread. One underlying aspect of the success of these policies is people's adaptation to epidemics and their continuous cooperation with urban management to adhere to precautionary measures. Otherwise, the disease incidence and death rates in the countries will not decrease. The situation that has occurred in Iran since the beginning of September and a sudden rise has put this country at the top of the daily reported deaths of Covid-19 (in proportion to the population) in October and November. Thus, this study will focus on two important Iranian metropolises (Tehran and Karaj) to understand: 1) What is the level of citizens' cooperation in complying with Covid-19-related precautionary measures? 2) How has the level of citizens' precautionary behaviors changed compared to the early days of the outbreak? 3) Is there a correlative relationship between citizens' personal and socioeconomic characteristics and their level of cooperation in this period? This cross-sectional study is based on online surveys (completion of 667 online questionnaires by ordinary citizens living in Tehran and Karaj). Findings show the participation of 30.3% in implementing all precautionary measures, with women, high-income groups, unemployed people, and those without a history of Covid-19 infection having a higher odds ratio than others. In terms of citizens' behavior, 21% have reduced their level of cooperation in this area, which is correlated with their personal and socioeconomic characteristics (except their city of residence).

“…Changji Corner is an on-site studio with many community planners inventorying the local resources and social networks and establishing partnerships with local communities. Chen Tsai, Song, and Peng (2021) try to understand the relationship between community awareness and community involvement in community autonomy and understand if community autonomy is affected by community planners. Readers may see that the public's awareness of community planners is weak in some aspects.…”
