2. Current and Future Landscape Scenarios
Based on our study in five sentinel sites, local people expect similar patterns of landscape change in the future.
Natural disasters and an unpredictable climate will remain the main drivers of change in this landscape. Improved
infrastructure such as wells, desalinisation plants, more houses, farms, and fishing boats will enhance local capacity
to manage threats especially for those who live on small islands. From the data obtained, it can be concluded that the
rate of infrastructure development is greatly influenced by the proximity of the location to the mainland, and
especially the main city where the government offices are located (Figure 3 & 4). As consequences, this attracts
people from small islands or other remote places to move to the mainland for a better life.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show both similarity and dissimilarity between two villages in different location in the
landscape of North Sulawesi that we gathered from participatory mapping and group discussions with local
stakeholders. Laengpatehi village which is located in small island of Ruang has population around 518 and mostly
rely on fishing (50% working as fishermen) and coconut farms for their livelihood. Based on the current map of the
