This dataset is about Vietnamese smallholders' views on the causes and indicators of climate change and factors that affect their perceptions of it. A total of 170 smallholders was surveyed in Son Ha district, Quang Ngai province, Vietnam. A two-section structured questionnaire was developed to collect data. The first section consisted of statements on: (1) asking whether or not climate change has occurred in the district; (2) causes of climate change; and (3) indicators of climate change. In these statements, two answer choices including “yes” and “no” were given to measure the perceptions of respondents. The second section gathered demographic and socio-economic information.
