    A comparative study between mainland and islander small-scale fishermen’s adaptation towards climate change
    (Springer, 2020) Asnarulkhadi Abu Samah; Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril
    The existing literature have demonstrated a considerable amount of existing studies that merely interest on scientific perspectives by examining the physical environmental changes rather than conducting social-based studies that allow for the comparison of adaptation ability between mainland and island small-scale fishermen. Therefore, the current research attempts to fill this gap by investigating the adaptation level of mainland and island small-scale fishermen towards climate changes for the purpose of further identifying any significant differences regarding their adaptation aspects.

    Comparing adaptation ability towards climate change impacts between the youth and the older fishermen
    (Elsevier, 2019) Asnarulkhadi Abu Samah; Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril; Mohd Fauzi Fadzil
    In recent years, a considerable amount of studies published locally which focused on the influence of age on climate change ability. Accordingly, this has driven the present study to achieve its main objective which is to compare the adaptation ability between youth and older fishermen. The current research is quantitative in nature; hence, a survey was conducted on a total of 259 youth and older fishermen residing in different states of Malaysia, namely Pulau Pinang, Terengganu, Johor, and Kedah. The present study managed to conclude a unique and important result which stated that youth and older fishermen within the context of Malaysia have an equally strong adaptation ability.

    Estimating farmers' willingness to pay for climate change adaptation: the case of the Malaysian agricultural sector
    (Springer, 2015) Muhammad Mehedi Masud; Ha Junsheng; Rulia Akhtar; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah Binti Kari
    This paper estimates Malaysian farmers' willingness to pay (WTP) for a planned adaptation programme for addressing climate issues in the Malaysian agricultural sector. We used the contingent valuation method (CVM) for a monetary valuation of farmers' preferences for a planned adaptation programme by ascertaining the value attached to address climatic issues in the Malaysian agricultural sector. Structured questionnaires were distributed among the sampled farmers.

    Indigenous perceptions of climate anomalies in Malaysian Borneo
    (Elsevier, 2019) T. van Gevelt; H. Abok; M.M. Bennett; S.D. Fam; F. George; N. Kulathuramaiyer; C.T. Low; T. Zaman
    Local perceptions of climate anomalies influence adaptation behaviour. Specifically, perceptions that are more accurate and homogenous at the community-level are more likely to facilitate the collective action required to adapt to the local effects of climate anomalies experienced by many indigenous communities. We combine primary data on perceptions of climate anomalies from 200 individuals in six Penan villages in Sarawak, Malaysia with instrumental climate data. We find that perceptions of climate anomalies vary substantially in terms of occurrence and magnitude, and do not generally correlate with instrumental climate data.

    Smallholder oil palm farmers’ pro-adaptation behaviour under climate impact scenario: application of protection Motivation Theory
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Isah Shehu Nabara; Norsida Man; Nitty Hirawaty Kamarulzaman; Zulkefly Sulaiman
    Persistent climate impacts in Malaysia pose severe difficulties for smallholder farmers, whose livelihoodsare primarily dependent on resources from agriculture. Adaptation policies are essential to adapt to the Motivation Theory (PMT) was applied to fill this gap as an underpinning for identifying the major contributing factor of farmers' adaptation behaviour to climate effects.

    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2015) Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril,; Jeffrey Lawrence D'Silva; Nurani Kamaruddin; Siti Zobidah Omar; Jusang Bolong
    The present paper attempts to investigate the awareness of coastal community towards climate change in Malaysia and to explore the factors associated with their awareness toward the climate change.
