This study has intended to compare public officials' perceptions with citizens' ones of climate change and to compare climate change vulnerability assessment with citizens’ perceptions. To meet the goals, first, this study employed statistical analysis to analyze the differences in perceptions between the two stakeholders, and examined climate change sensitivity by health, disaster, forestry, water management, and ecosystem. Second, to compare climate change vulnerability with citizens’ perceptions, this study has adopted VESTAP, and a qualitative method. This study found the following results: 1) there were statistically significant differences in the perceptions between the two stakeholders in disaster and ecosystem area, and there were different areas of impact that differed by groups in health, disaster and forestry area; 2) In addition, there was a difference between vulnerability assessment results and citizens’ perceptions in forestry, water management, ecosystem area.
