The phenomenon of climate change is one of the threats to the lives of humankind because of its potential impact on the socio-economic conditions of society. Indigenous peoples are among those who feel the most impact, because their livelihoods and locations are dependent on environments that are sensitive to climatic conditions, as well as ancestral habits that are still maintained. This study aims to assess the vulnerability and adaptation strategies undertaken by the Kampung Naga indigenous people in Tasikmalaya Regency. This area is among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change in Indonesia, especially changes in rainfall and extreme weather, which results in floods and landslides. Primary data collection is done by field observations, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to the entire population. Meanwhile, the collection of scientific articles and institutional reports is used to complete the study. Quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis methods are used in this study. Vulnerability calculation is done by scoring and weighting methods from four categories, namely social population, economy, physical infrastructure, and community knowledge, and 34 indicators with three levels, namely high, medium and low. The analysis showed that the level of vulnerability of the indigenous communities of Kampung Naga was included at the moderate level (0.352). The highest vulnerability was obtained from the community knowledge category (0.416), and the lowest vulnerability was obtained from the social population category (0.291). This shows that although they have minimal knowledge related to the phenomenon of climate change, their habits from the social aspects of population have increased their resilience to the impacts that occur. This finding is supported from the results of observations and interviews, where in an effort to reduce the impact of climate change, Kampung Naga indigenous people have adopted an adaptation strategy by utilizing natural capital and assets, as well as social capital to the fullest. These results are useful in sustainable regional development and input adaptation strategies for other regions.
