dc.description.abstractCurrently, the concern, among social scientist is to know communities’ capacity to adapt with changing climate and variability. Studies conducted on climate change adaptive capacity and cost estimates associated with adaptation measures are at global level, and were conducted outside Tanzania, in the countries with different environment, economic level, governances, therefore, fail short in reflecting local reality. This study assessed communities’ climatic change adaptive capacity and cost implications in Kilosa district. It was conducted in Ilonga Kwambe, Kisongwe, and Mkundi villages. Household survey and interviewing methods were used in data collection where primary and secondary data were collected. Data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics, mult responses and chi-square analysis. The software used in data analysis was SPSS version 16 and Microsoft excel. The result indicate that most of the attributes used to analyse community adaptive capacity show low, moderate and exceptional was in land size index which shows high adaptive capacity index than the rest. The variations of adaptive capacity between the villages are significant at 1% and 0.5% probability level. The result on adaptation strategies show that there were about 22 adaptation strategies that communities used in the course of adaptation with climate change and variability which vary significantly between the villages at 1% probability level. Adaptation cost was observed to have no greater variation with total cost, in the study area because of low adaptive capacity indexes in various adaptation strategies. The major challenge was in quantification of adaption cost because most of the copping strategies are autonomous.
