[MUSIC] Okay today we're going to talk about the LICCI protocol, the more in the practical sense that how you're going to collect data, if you're doing fieldwork or if you have a site if you're interested in collecting data in person. So from the LICCI core team, we have developed a whole protocol in terms of the methodologies, in terms of the approaches, in terms of the definitions of different terminologies. You can go to this website to look it up, it's about 70, 80 pages long. So, today I'm going to mainly talk about how to collect the LICCI and LACCI data in the approach of some structure interviews and focus groups. The focus groups will be in another video. Also of course there are different ways to contribute to the integrating ILK into climate research, not only by doing fieldwork but also we have developed open tech, the scientific the synthesized platform for people to participate. And also for people who are interested in article reviews, there are different ways of participating. I mean, so we're going to talk about the methods on the ground level of how to collect the LICCI data. So first one is the semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews is a oftenly used method that in within social science. So usually it structured interviews has a very rigorous set of questions. So you basically have 10 questions that you want to ask, that's very structured, that's for semi-structured interviews, you have a different set of different themes that you want to explore. So basically I want to explore the changes, the locally perceived changes, that's one theme and then the question how you phrase it and how you want to guide it is up to the researcher, so that's semi-structured. So it gives you a framework of themes to explore and then we zoom into the LICCI. So the implementation of semi-structured interviews in the LICCI, what do you need to do when you are actually in the field collecting the data of local indicators of climate change impacts? So there are two things, the first one is perceived, environmental changes and drivers. So explore the changes that the interviewee has noticed in the environment basically. So for example, we can ask what kind of changes have you noticed over the past 10 years or over the past 20 years or depending on the time span you're looking at and explore since one they have noticed these changes. So people might mention we have a lot of droughts happening in recent years. And you are asked like since when did this drought started to happen? People might say it started five years ago, it started 10 years ago. And then of course we need to explore the causes, the drivers of the changes. So basically to ask people, what do you think caused those changes? For example, from the changes they mentioned the temperature, it's hotter now. It probably happened 10 years ago, started to happen 10 years ago. And you asked what caused those changes? So it might be very obvious in the biological system because people deal with plants or crops a lot for the farming communities, so for those people, it might be the crops yield less because it's too dry. And since when that happened, maybe 10 years, maybe five years. And then asked if these changes have affected their daily lives living in the community and how the impacts are, what are the impacts? And the second theme of the SSI in the LICCI framework is the adaptation and coping measures. We have mentioned, what is adaptation and what is coping. So adaptation, I'm just going to do a little bit catch up, with adaptation is in a long term sense that people react to changes that can be a long term solution and coping are in a more immediate sense and more on site. So people do it just because they didn't have other options. So this is the second theme to explore what household do to adapt or to cope to the climate related changes that was mentioned previously. And as you can see that we have a quite systematic output that organize in relates to the output of the SSI. Is going to be a order list of all changes perceived in the study site. So you can have the change observation ID like 1 2 3 4 and then the observations, the actual observations people told you like the wildflowers are flowering earlier. And then the drivers, they told you what cost it, what caused the change and if it's climate related or not. So sometimes if you ask people what caused this change, and people might say, it's because this road construction or it's because this policy intervention, so those are not climate related. So we rule them out, we don't consider them as a LICCI because it doesn't have anything to do with climate change impacts. And then you have to record the number of interviewees who mentioned it. So for some for observations that are very obvious happening in the community. So if you interview 20-25 people, there might be 19 or 20 people mentioned it because it's just there. And for some observations so it's more expertise driven. So some people are really good at beekeeping or some people are really good at collecting wild edible plants. So those observations might only restrict it to a small small group of people. So record the number of interviewees who mentioned it. And then the second output would be a order list of adaptation coping measures. Now same as the first list, so we also assign an ID number and then goes on to the actual quotations. The text that described by your interviewees giving like what they do to response to the changes, and who is doing the measure? Is it individual based or is it on a household level, or is it whole community? You can still mark if there are adaptations were done by government or other NGO like organizations. So these are the two lists, the major outputs from the semi-structured interviews and a order list of LICCI's and a order list of LACCI's. [MUSIC]
