A CASE STUDY OF SPREAD FACOTRS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION MEASURES AND TECHNOLOGIES IN HEAT WAVE: EXAMINING IMPLICATIONS FOR DIFFUSION AMONG REGIONS

Abstract

 This paper take up “mist spraying” as an case study of climate change adaptation measures and technologies in heat wave which spread in many regions through literature survey and interview. The main results demonstrate as follows; i) the emergence of key technology that responds to the local background issues is a prerequisite for diffusion in the local community and economical factor, institutional factor, social factor, and oraganizational factor are also significant. ii) the values that the technology contains have been changed as diffusion among regions. The local climate change adapttion center that will be established in each region based on the Law is required to function as a hub of policy transfer network with storing these knowledge of these studies.
