Detailed results for villages in Battambang municipality
The table below provides the detailed results per village of the Battambang impact and vulnerability assessment.
Vulnerability has been assessed as a combination of sensitivity, exposure, impact and adaptative capacity using the following function: vulnerability = impact (=exposure*sensitivity) / adaptive capacity. Data derived from available models, census and participatory mapping has been used to determine exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the villages. Each of these aspects of impact and vulnerability were reclassified into five classes (very low to very high) using a quintile analysis. To score impact and vulnerability, CAM matrices have been applied.[1]
Each of the dimensions of vulnerability have been scored according to five classes: very low (VL), low (L), medium (M), high (H) and very high (VH). Where there is no data available, mainly for flood exposure, impact and vulnerability, ‘Not Available’ (NA) has been used.

[1] A comprehensive CAM guide is available in English and Khmer. The guide lays out a step-by-step process for assessing climate change impacts and vulnerabilities and for preparing and implementing adaptation plans. The guide includes templates and matrices that can be used to record data, create plans, and assist with prioritizing adaptation measures.
