本案例研究描述了印度尼西亚塞马朗市的两个气候适应行动项目如何能够提供新的机制，使塞马朗市政府与市民之间能够更好地互动。随着洪水预警系统的引入，白令金河流域的洪水易发社区现在能够在洪水事件发生之前疏散到安全的避难所。通过卫生信息和预警系统（HIEWS），市民可以获得与该市登革热病例有关的实时信息。虽然重点领域不同，但这两个项目都旨在帮助社区更好地抵御气候变化的影响，特别是洪水和病媒传播的疾病。我们在这两个案例中发现了类似的模式，即加强社区参与的努力对于保证项目的成功至关重要。通过对当地知识和社交网络的周到考虑，为提高社区的认识和积极性提供密集援助，以及了解治理结构，确保通过正式移交程序分配资金，以继续和扩大干预措施的成果，从而加强社区参与。这些研究结果对于指导任何气候变化适应项目实现更好的可持续性和自主性是有用和重要的，特别是在应用需要技术的预警系统或信息系统时，地方政府可持续的预算分配用于运行和维护系统，以及当地社区的支持。
This case study describes how two climate resilience action projects in Semarang City, Indonesia, were able to provide new mechanisms allowing better engagement between the Semarang city government and its citizens. With the introduction of the Flood Early Warning System (FEWS), flood-prone communities in the Beringin River Basin are now able to evacuate to safe shelters before flood incidents occur. Through the Health Information and Early Warning System (HIEWS), citizens can access real-time information related to dengue fever cases in the city. Although the focus areas are different, both projects aim to help communities become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, specifically floods and vector-borne disease. We find similar patterns in the two cases, in which efforts to enhance community participation are essential to guarantee the success of the projects. Enhanced community engagement is achieved through the thoughtful consideration of local knowledge and social networks, intensive assistance to increase awareness and motivation of the community, and understanding governance structures to ensure that funds are allocated through formal handover processes to continue and expand the results of the interventions. These findings are useful and important to guide any climate change adaptation projects toward better sustainability and ownership, especially in the application of an early warning system or information system that requires technology, sustainable budget allocation from the local government to operate and maintain the system, and buy-in from local communities.
