Communities especially those living in rural areas and surrounding forests is highly dependent on natural conditions that exist in the vicinity. If the natural conditions change then the livelihood of society will also be affected. But in fact people have resilience in facing the pressures from outside. Community resilience in the face of these changes is influenced by several variables, such as social network and community livelihood. This paper will further discuss livelihood strategy of the community in facing climate change based on capital assets consisting of human capital, natural capital, physical capital, social capital and financial capital. The discussion in this paper will take a case study in 2 villages namely Pacarejo village as a representation of the southern district of Gunungkidul or often known as the Pengunungan Seribu, and Nglanggeran village as a representation of the northern district of Gunung Kidul or often known as Pegunungan Batur Agung.

Livelihood strategies used by communities in the face of climate change among others in Pacarejo and Nglanggeran Villages are changes the pattern of crop sequence. Society no longer plant palawija in their dry land but for one full year to plant rice because of the availability of abundant water. Communities who plant palawija on the condition of abundant water, the production results to be much reduced. In general, society does not exist at this time to plant crops. In addition, because of climate change that is marked by high rainfall in the district of Gunungkidul, the agricultural calendar that has been used as a guide for farmers to make planting activities have started to be abandoned.
