Cultural Landscape of the Urban Community of Vang Vieng in the Context of Tourism
Cultural Landscape of the Urban Community of Vang Vieng in the Context of Tourism Bounthavy Sosamphanh,1 Sekson Yongvanit,2 and Yaowalak Apichatvullop3 Abstract This study aims to investigate the existence of and changes to the cultural landscape of the urban community of Vang Vieng, Vientiane province, Lao PDR, in the context of tourism. A qualitative method was used to empirically describe and compare settlement forms, land use, the differences in the ways of life, occupation, and the effects of new cultural phenomenon on the local culture. Data gathering was conducted by survey, observation and interviewing urban residents. It was found that settlements are crowded between the old airport area, stretching along the Xong riverbank and had a trend of expansion and increased density to the north and east of the town. The downtown area is crowded, as the land is being used by various entities such as hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and tourist agencies etc. Almost all of these entities are related to tourism. The dwellings are of modern architectural design. Conversely, land on the outskirts is not as crowded, as it is used mostly for dwellings and governmental offices. There are two types of cultural landscapes in the town: vernacular cultural landscape and the new cultural landscape. The vernacular cultural landscape consists of dwellings in a vernacular architectural style; the houses and structures are of wood, or half cement and half wood. There is grass and a well in front of the houses, and the women wear the Lao sarong. The new cultural landscape developed in the downtown area where there are buildings of modern architectural design, and restaurants that include a space for people to rest and watch television while eating and drinking. -

The typhoon caused severe damage and losses to the basic infrastructure, especially to productive areas, the irrigation system, roads and bridges, hospitals, and schools. Further, the typhoon disrupted the local people’s livelihoods, assets and properties. The poor and vulnerable groups of people are most affected by the typhoon. Without immediate recovery efforts, its consequences will gravely compromise the development efforts undertaken so far by the government, seriously set back economic dynamism, and further jeopardise the already very precarious situation in some of the provinces that were hard hit by the typhoon. A Joint Damage, Losses and Needs Assessment (JDLNA) was undertaken, with field visit to the four most affected provinces from 25th July to 5th August 2011. -

GMS Regional Investment Framework Pipeline
The Regional Investment Framework (RIF) puts into operation the new Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Program Strategic Framework (GMS-SF) (2012–2022) that was approved at the 4th Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Summit in December 2011. The RIF translates the strategic directions of the GMS-SF into a pipeline of investment and technical assistance projects for the third decade of the GMS Program, from 2013 to 2022. The RIF covers a wide range of sectors including transport, energy, environment, agriculture, human resource development, information and communication technology, tourism, transport and trade facilitation, and urban development. As a comprehensive, forward-looking and strategic framework, the RIF embodies the collective aspiration of the GMS countries to expand and deepen their cooperation program in the coming Greater Mekong Subregion decade. The RIF will also remain a living framework that will be regularly reviewed and updated to maintain its relevance and responsiveness as a planning tool for subregional initiatives in an ever- dynamic GMS.

The Plan also reflects the Socio-economic Development Strategy until 2025 and Vision 2030 with an aim to build a new foundation for graduating from LDC status by 2020 to become an upper-middle-income country by 2030. Therefore, the 8th NSEDP is an important tool central to the assurance of the national defence and development of the party’s new directions. Furthermore, the 8th NSEDP is a result of the Government’s breakthrough in mindset. It is an outcome- based plan that resulted from close research and, thus, it is constructed with the clear development outcomes and outputs corresponding to the sector and provincial development plans that should be able to ensure harmonization in the Plan performance within provided sources of funding, including a government budget, grants and loans,
