  <abstract>The  appellation  "vulnerability"  is  utilized  as  a  part  of  a  wide  range  of  routes  by  different scholastic  communities.  Vulnerability  of  the  system  is  considered  as  the  function  of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the system and vulnerability may differ within the countries, regions and areas according to the climate stimuli exposures, the sensitivity of the system itself and adaptive capacity to cope with the changes due to the stresses. In this study,  thevulnerability  assessment  on  Moeyungyi  wetland  has  been  developed  by  the indicators-based approaches with respects to the functions of climate exposures, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of fourvillages, namely, Tarzon, Thoneeinzu, Kapin and Punchaung villages near Moeyungyi wetland inBago,Myanmar.The climate stimuli (temperature and precipitation) are considered as the exposure indicators in  analyzing  the  vulnerability  indices  and  are  also  described  in  the  climate  trend  analysis. The variation rainfall and the status of habitats are considered as the sensitivity parameters and  the  socio-economic  conditions  of  the  nearby  villages  are  used  as  adaptive  capacity indicators in this study.Analysis  of  the  climate  indices  results  the  increasing  trend  in  precipitation  and  the temperature  trend  is  decreasing  generally  near  Moeyungyi  wetland  area.  State  of  the exposure  indicators  shows  the  higher  values  in  eastern  part  of  the  wetland  (Kapin  and Punchaung  villages)  and  the  highest  sensitivity  value  is  in  Thoneeinzu  village  while  the sensitivity of the other three villages are nearly same values. However, the highest adaptive capacity value in Kapin village has been shown among four villages. So, the vulnerability in northeast  part  (Kapin  village)  where  has  resulted  the  highest  adaptive  capacity  value  is moderate while the other parts of the wetland shows the high vulnerability.  </abstract>
