A better understanding of the processes that shape households’ adaptation decisions is essential for developing pertinent policies locally, thereby enabling better adaptation across scales and multiple stakeholders. This paper aims to examine the determinants of household decisions to adapt, it is also possible to target factors that facilitate or constrain adaptation. This helps to identify key components of current adaptive capacity, which leads to important insights into households’ competence to adapt in the future.,This paper takes a full-pledged approach examining factors and processes that shape households’ climate adaptation decision-making in rural Cambodia at three levels: adaptation status, adaptation intensity and choices of adaptation strategy. The three-stage analyses are materialized by applying the double hurdle model and multivariate probit model, which provides a potential way to systematically assess household adaptation decision-making in rural settings.,Results show a high level of involvement in adaptation among local households who are facing multiple stressors including climatic risks. The findings suggest that perceived climate change influence households’ decisions in both adaptation status and intensity. Access to financial credit, farmland size, water availability and physical asset holdings are identified as key factors promoting the adoption of more adaptation measures. To facilitate adaptation, collective effort and support at community level is important in providing knowledge based climate information dissemination and early warning systems. Public sector support and development aid programs should focus on positive triggers for targeted community and household adaptation.,The study, to the authors’ best knowledge, is one of the first studies to investigate the determinants of local adaptation decision-making systematically in Cambodia. It also provides a comprehensive approach to improve understanding of adaptation decision-making processes by exploring how various capital assets are associated with different stages of adaptation decisions. The findings contribute to policy implications enlightening adaptation planning at multi-scales with knowledge of key factors, which enhance local adaptive capacity to reduce climate change vulnerability.

理解柬埔寨农村地区家庭适应决策的三阶段量化方法

更好地理解影响家庭适应决策的过程，对于在当地制定相关政策至关重要，因此可以在不同规模和多个利益相关者之间实现更好的适应。本文旨在研究家庭决策适应的决定因素，也有可能针对促进或限制适应的因素。这有助于确定当前适应能力的关键组成部分，从而有助于深入了解住户未来的适应能力。，本文采用全面分析方法，研究了影响农村家庭适应气候变化决策的因素和过程。柬埔寨分为三个层次：适应状况，适应强度和适应策略的选择。通过应用双关卡模型和多元概率模型，实现了三阶段分析，这为系统地评估农村地区的家庭适应决策提供了一种可能的方法。结果表明，当地家庭在参与适应方面的参与程度很高。面临多种压力，包括气候风险。研究结果表明，感知到的气候变化会影响家庭的适应状况和强度决定。获得金融信贷，农田规模，水的可利用性和有形资产的持有被确定为是促进采用更多适应措施的关键因素。为了促进适应，社区一级的集体努力和支持对于提供基于知识的气候信息传播和预警系统非常重要。公共部门的支持和发展援助计划应着眼于有针对性的社区和家庭适应的积极诱因。据作者所知，该研究是第一批系统地调查柬埔寨地方适应决策的决定因素的研究之一。它还通过探索各种资本资产如何与适应决策的不同阶段相关联，提供了一种全面的方法来增进对适应决策过程的理解。这些发现有助于政策意义的发展，并借助关键因素的知识在多尺度上进行适应性规划，从而增强地方减少气候变化脆弱性的适应能力。据作者所知，这是第一个系统地调查柬埔寨地方适应决策决定因素的研究之一。它还通过探索各种资本资产如何与适应决策的不同阶段相关联，提供了一种全面的方法来增进对适应决策过程的理解。这些发现有助于政策意义的发展，并借助关键因素的知识在多尺度上进行适应性规划，从而增强地方减少气候变化脆弱性的适应能力。据作者所知，这是第一个系统地调查柬埔寨地方适应决策决定因素的研究之一。它还通过探索各种资本资产如何与适应决策的不同阶段相关联，提供了一种全面的方法来增进对适应决策过程的理解。这些发现有助于政策意义的发展，并借助关键因素的知识在多尺度上进行适应性规划，从而增强地方减少气候变化脆弱性的适应能力。它还通过探索各种资本资产如何与适应决策的不同阶段相关联，提供了一种全面的方法来增进对适应决策过程的理解。这些发现有助于政策意义的发展，并借助关键因素的知识在多尺度上进行适应性规划，从而增强地方减少气候变化脆弱性的适应能力。它还通过探索各种资本资产如何与适应决策的不同阶段相关联，提供了一种全面的方法来增进对适应决策过程的理解。这些发现有助于政策意义的发展，并借助关键因素的知识在多尺度上进行适应性规划，从而增强地方减少气候变化脆弱性的适应能力。
