摘要：Understanding the effects of local knowledge on actions and decisions taken during a crisis is important; empirical studies and scientific data can be instructive to this end. This study integrated local knowledge (iPranata Mangsa/i) in Jawa, Indonesia, with scientific data on diurnal rainfall, extreme precipitation events, using the Local and Indigenous Knowledge System (LINKS). The results showed that iPranata Mangsa/i has informed aspects of agriculture including crop calendars, crop patterns, and farming activities, for over 1000 years in Jawa. iPranata Mangsa/i also enhances community resilience by mitigating the effects of extreme droughts; this finding was validated using scientific data.
