Framework for climate change adaptation for incorporation in public asset management: An Indonesian context

Lukito, Jose Arif (2018) Framework for climate change adaptation for incorporation in public asset management: An Indonesian context. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Abstract

Lack of urgency regarding climate change adaptation has caused limited actions to be applied in public asset management in Indonesia. In addition, the costs associated with adaptation of assets can be high in some cases. However, these costs will likely be even higher in the long-term, if responses are delayed. Furthermore, studies suggest adaptation to climate change will enable public assets to adjust to future changes, minimise negative impacts, take advantage of new opportunities and maintain sustainable services. Research in response to climate change, in assets or infrastructure in general, and public assets in particular, has been conducted in several developed countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom. However, climate change adaptation (CCA) research related to public asset management (PAM) is considered lacking in Indonesia. This research aims to develop a framework for CCA for incorporation in PAM and apply the developed framework to Indonesia.

Descriptive scope: 2 PC

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
