The core and the unique characteristic of the settlement of the Bajo tribe also continuously changing due to the adaptation to the climate change. The characteristic of their settlement is slowly destroyed.

The climate change has made vulnerable group like the  Bajo tribe to sacrifice their identity as sea people. Their way of life and view about sea is slowly eroded with the view of land which is not suitable with their tradition, culture, and the way of thinking of their ancestors. The descendants of the Bajo tribe in the future will probably do not know about the  great stories of their ancestors waded through the sea. 

For the descendants of the Bajo tribe in the future, may be building a house in the middle of the sea is considered odd thing. That is the most scary thing of the impact of the climate change; this is not only cause economically and ecologically disadvantageous, but it can also destroy the culture and the way of life of vulnerable people. We cannot just stand still, but it has already happened. The location of their settlement may no longer be restored again to the sea, but we can still seek the form of buildings and enviromental characteristics of the Bajo tribe  remain sustainable.
