The coastal area of South Leato Village is a key economic growth center, serving as a hub for trade, transportation, and various other activities. However, this area has recently experienced frequent sea level rise due to the impacts of climate change. This rise in sea level has led to significant damage to settlements, environmental degradation, and adverse effects on the socio-economic conditions of households. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the resilience of households in South Leato Village in coping with the threat of sea level rise caused by climate change. This study identifies household resilience through the lenses of social, economic, and physical-environmental aspects. A quantitative method with scoring analysis was employed in this research. The findings indicate that the average household in the coastal area of South Leato Village demonstrates a relatively high level of resilience in facing the threats posed by rising sea levels. Among the 100 respondents sampled, representing each household, 94 exhibited high resilience, while 6 showed moderate resilience. However, after validating these results through consultation with village authorities and NGOs, and by observing field conditions, it is evident that households in the study area cannot be conclusively deemed highly resilient to sea level rise due to climate change. As a result, there is a need for targeted interventions: social aspects require further training and awareness programs, the economic aspect necessitates diversification of household MSMEs beyond reliance on marine conditions, and the physicalenvironmental aspect calls for the development of resilient wave-breaking infrastructure.
