“…Current water management practices cover ecosystem services from wetlands, lakes, the sea, forests, and protected areas, and are also linked to biomass renovation, biodiversity and landscape conservation, and green infrastructure [74,79,104,113]. Research was done on the integration of local and scientific knowledge, traditional weather forecasting, climate-smart agriculture, and multidisciplinary strategic cooperation to face risks of floods, flashfloods, and stormwater management needs [52,83,145].…”

The study of peri-urbanization attracted attention in the final quarter of the 20th century, due to the pace it acquired worldwide and the implication that urbanization and overall settlement patterns have on social sustainability and development. Theoretical and conceptual achievements are remarkable. Multi-country collaboration has produced a growing body of research on sustainability and peri-urban settlements. There is a lack, however, of a review of the practices of peri-urban informal settlements, the predominant mode of urban expansion, mainly in developing and rapidly urbanizing regions of the world. The purpose is, then, to systematize, from recent literature, the knowledge of the context, challenges, and practices, as well as their impacts and potential courses of action, to ensure sustainability in human–natural complex of the territory beyond urban cores, suburbs, or slums. A systematic review approach was adopted, for articles published in reputable journals, with support of previous reviews, books, and reports. A pragmatist combination of content analysis and critical review identified core topics and highlighted contrasting views. An analytical framework is proposed. Four categories—drivers, challenges and practices, impact, and future trends—are proposed as an adequate approach to systematizing the literature. The review finds that the practices focus on service and resource provision, on regulations to approximate informal to formal institutions, and on an economy founded on the resource base and service provision. This review provides insights on future trends and research topics.

“…In its application, there is no treaty between the landowner and agriculture workers about the amount of paddy that will be received by the agriculture labours because they have comprehended it and trusted each other (Jannah, 2016). In this system, it is shown a local policy, such as indigenous knowledge as social capital and has an imperative role to create resilience (Melore & Nel, 2020). Traditional people like Urug community have cre-ated a resilience based on society and ecology because the local policy like bawon system in agriculture has successfully faced the globalisation without the extinction of their tradition and culture.…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate bawon system tradition and traditional appliance in the traditional community to empower farming labours toward community resilience. The research method used is an ethnographic qualitative approach. This method is applied because the research is related to cultural, ritual, traditional, and social phenomena. The data are collected through in-depth interview, observation, and documentation. The selection of informants as samples uses purposive sampling technique. The result is probed meticulously through technique triangulation and source triangulation. The result shows that bawon system is a tradition in agriculture to assist landless people for cultivating. It leads to create agriculture worker resilience because the landless people can fulfil their basic needs from this mechanism, and they will not be unemployed amid the implementation of modern agricultural technology. Another result is the use of a traditional tool like ani-ani which can empower women resilience because women will not lose their vanity in farming activity. Besides, it can attain traditional and cultural resilience because ani-ani and bawon system can be categorized as traditional culture.

“…One of the fundamental ways to achieve higher levels of community ownership is to ensure that project goals align with the aspirations, values, and needs of the respective communities (Marschütz et al, 2020). For example, some climate resilience building projects established in African rural communities integrate local and indigenous knowledge about environmental protection and stewardship into project aims and expectations (Melore & Nel, 2020). More successful models of partnerships also seem to have some form of adaptive governance mechanism.…”

Research increasingly suggests that climate change has intensified the frequency of droughts, floods, and other environmental disasters across sub-Saharan Africa. In response to the resulting array of climate-induced challenges, various stakeholders are working collectively to build climate resilience in rural and urban communities and trans-continentally. This paper examines key climate resilience-building projects that have been implemented across sub-Saharan Africa through multi-stakeholder partnerships. It uses a vulnerabilities assessment approach to examine the strategic value of these projects in managing the mitigation of climate shocks and long-term environmental changes. There are still many challenges to building climate resilience in the region, but through multi-stakeholder partnerships, sub-Saharan African nations are expanding their capacity to pool resources and build collective action aimed at financing and scaling up innovative climate solutions. This article contributes to ongoing interdisciplinary academic, management, and policy discourses on global climate adaptation focused on populations and landscapes most at risk.
