My doctoral research examines how national and sub-national climate adaptation strategies intersect with the lived experiences of coastal communities in Indonesia. Grounded in human geography, environmental governance, and development policy, my work explores how state-led adaptation efforts align—or conflict—with local responses to climate hazards such as flooding, erosion, and sea-level rise.
Using a multi-scalar and place-based approach, I analyse the spatial variation of adaptation policies through qualitative methods, GIS, policy mapping, and fieldwork. I focus on how local demographic, ecological, and institutional contexts shape the effectiveness of climate responses, with particular attention to the role of social capital in building community adaptation.
Before my PhD, I worked with Indonesia’s Ministry of Population and Family Development (BKKBN), where I contributed to policy on population dynamics, health, and sustainable development. This professional experience informs my academic research, particularly in understanding how demographic shifts, institutional structures, and local capacities influence climate adaptation efforts. My PhD is funded by the Indonesia Education Endowment Fund (Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan/LPDP).
