Climate change can affect social and economic development in developing countries. Rural communities in Myanmar are vulnerable to climate change because it is a developing agrarian country. The overall objective of the study was to investigate farmers‟ perceptions and adaptation strategies to climate change in Yamèthin Township. Totally 130 farmers from Thinpankone, Sekyie and Myinnar villages were chosen by simple random sampling method and individually interviewed with structured questionnaires. The historical climate data for Yamèthin Township were obtained from Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Yangon. Descriptive analysis, awareness index, and simple regression analysis were done to fulfill the research objectives. The results showed that majority of farmers perceived on climate change and they had high awareness level because they can easily access climate information from many sources. However, the radio and television channels were the common sources among all. Most of farmers‟ perceptions on climate variables were also consistent with 20 years climate trends. In addition, farmers‟ climate change awareness level was positively and significantly influenced by farming experience, farm size, perceptions on temperature and climate information access from radio and television channels. Majority of respondents followed more than one adaptation strategies although one-fourth of respondents did not follow any adaptation strategies. Based on findings, climate information from radio and television channels should be disseminated accurately and timely. Climate change education programs should be targeted to small holders and less experience farmers to raise their awareness level. Water management was the most common adaptation strategy and water scarcity was the main barrier in the study area. Therefore, water management practices should be systematically trained to farmers. Moreover, the strategy for providing sufficient irrigated water should be facilitated. | ||||||
