We used a mixed method. Through a representative, observation and interview with our study subjects explored survey semantic-imaginary symbolic associations that farmers in the community have on both phenomena. We found that both are non-functional at the time when farmers describe the problems they experience the effects and possible solutions to climate variations. We believe that it is essential to explore the language used affected communities when proposing public policies, non-governmental actions and scientific research related to climate variations in local environments as studied here.展开更多
