Adaptation Patterns and Strategies of Communities in Southeast Sulawesi toward Environmental Changes
Keywords:
Change of Environment, Double Income, Ecological AdaptationAbstract
The rampant exploitation of natural resources is leading to widespread environmental damage, resulting in job losses, particularly among those whose livelihoods depend heavily on the natural environment. This research aims to investigate and delineate the ecological adaptation patterns and strategies adopted by communities in Southeast Sulawesi to confront environmental shifts. This qualitative descriptive research employed the Likert scale as qualitative parameters. The survey conducted in this research involved 1,504 respondents across 17 regencies/cities in Southeast Sulawesi using a questionnaire administered via Google Forms. Findings reveal that in the face of environmental changes or damage, individuals have adapted their practices to sustain their livelihoods and meet their basic needs.
