Isolated indigenous communities are groups of people who live their lives very apprehensively. Most of the people live in places that are difficult to reach geographically, such as inland, beaches, forests, hills and remote islands (outer, inland, and left behind). Remoteness is the biggest contributing factor to their inability to be part of the development process and coupled with climate-related disasters. Descriptive methods with in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) are used to explore local knowledge in efforts to adapt to climate change and the introduction of adaptation strategies, especially related to enhance local knowledge (SASI).
