Abstrakt: Climate change can affect seasonal and annual climate variability in Indonesia. The impact of climate variability, such as rainfall or ocean conditions with high waves or strong winds, is a threat to fishermen in carrying out fishing activities. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the level of vulnerability and adaptation response caused by climate change to fishing communities. This research was conducted in Kota Agung Subdistrict, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province from September to December 2020. This study involved 100 respondents consisting of 70 local fishermen and 30 modern fishermen. The analysis method used in this research was multiple linear regression analysis from the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI). The results of the LVI analysis show that local fishermen are in the most vulnerable category with an LVI value of 0.459, while modern fishermen with an LVI value of 0.440. The LVI value of local fishermen was close to 0.5 indicates the vulnerability of local fishermen compared to modern fishermen. Climate variability causes the vulnerability of local fishermen since it disrupts fishermen livelihoods and encourages fishermen to change their orientation towards fishermen livelihoods. The results of the study indicate that climate variability has an impact on the vulnerability of fishermen households to fishermen life, due to fishermen households are very dependent on fishery products.
