Abstract

DOI: https://doi.org/10.32444/IJSW.2018.79.2.229-252 This paper explores aspects of land diversity that can help reduce livelihood vulner- ability to climate change. Using household data of 100 Konda Reddi families in Andhra Pradesh, it examines the land use pattern of different land types in this ‘agency belt’. Using the Land Diversity Index, the study provides insights into land use preferences across farmer categories and highlights vulnerabilities of marginal and small farmers to climate change. It expresses concern over maladaptive practices being perceived as ‘coping mechanisms’ in response to local climatic changes. It creates a case for policy makers to revisit the existing development policies from a climate lens.

土地多样化对气候变化的适应——以安得拉邦Konda Reddis为例

本文探讨了有助于降低生计对气候变化的脆弱性的土地多样性方面。利用安得拉邦100个Konda Reddi家庭的家庭数据，研究了这一“代理带”中不同土地类型的土地利用模式。利用土地多样性指数，该研究提供了不同农民类别的土地使用偏好的见解，并突出了边缘和小农对气候变化的脆弱性。报告对不适应的做法被视为应对当地气候变化的“应对机制”表示关注。它为政策制定者提供了一个从气候角度重新审视现有发展政策的案例。

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW) is the flagship publication of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and is brought out by its Publications Unit. Published every January, April, July and October, the TISS entered its 77th year of uninterrupted publishing, a record in journal publishing, in 2016. The first issue of the IJSW was brought out in June 1940. It focussed on two aspects of Child Welfare - Children in Industry and Juvenile Delinquency. The main objectives of the IJSW are to: cater to the need for literature on social work, and be a medium of dissemination of indigenous work being carried out in the country. Over the years, the IJSW has kept pace with changing perspectives and developments in the field of social work and social work education. The IJSW has brought out over 50 Special/Focus issues since 1940.
