  • Morphology of Water-Based Housing in Mekong Delta, Vietnam
    MATEC Web of Conferences 193, 04005 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819304005 ESCI 2018 Morphology of water-based housing in Mekong delta, Vietnam Thi Hong Hanh Vu1,* and Viet Duong1 1University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City, 196 Pasteur, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Abstract. A long time ago, houses along and on the water have been distinctive elements of the water-based Mekong Delta. Over a long history of development, these morphological settlements have been deteriorated due to environmental, economic, and cultural changes from water to mainland, resulted in the reductions of water-based communities and architectural deterioration. This research is aimed to analyze the distinguishing values of those housing types/communities in 5 chosen popular water-based settlements in Mekong Delta region to give positive recommendations for further changes. 1 Introduction Mekong Delta is located in the South of Vietnam, downstream of the Mekong River. This is a nutrious plain with dense water channels. People here have chosen their settlements to be near, in order of priority: markets – rivers – friends –roads/streets/routes - and farmlands (Nhất cận thị, nhị cận giang, tam cận lân, tứ cận lộ, ngũ cận điền). When the population increased, they started to move inward the land; as a result, their living culture have gradually changed, so have their houses [1-3]. Over long history of exploitation, the local inhabitants and migrants from other parts of Vietnam and nearby countries have turned this Mekong delta to a rich and distinctive society with diverse ethnic communities, cultures and beliefs, living harmoniously together.

Tel: 84-72-3821694. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received: December 23, 2013 Accepted: January 13, 2014 Online Published: January 16, 2014 doi:10.5539/jsd.v7n1p94 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v7n1p94 Abstract This paper proposes new development orientation for cities and rural residential areas in the Plain of Reeds, a region in Southern Vietnam that is subject to annual flooding and is grounded in the author’s practical experience and theoretical analysis. Furthermore, this study is based on the plain's features, the history of the foundation of regional urban and residential areas, and the successes and failures of previous planning in the region. Based on data from the Vietnamese government and the IMF, this development orientation is in opposition to the views of many leaders with respect to the development of the cities and rural residential areas of the region. It is hoped that this study will help administrators, planners, and other authorities in Vietnam and other countries.

  • The Effects of Climate Smart Agriculture and Climate Change Adaptation on the Technical Efficiency of Rice Farming—An Empirical Study in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

Observational data were collected from in-depth interviews with 352 rice farm households in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The findings indicate that 71% of local farmers adapted their rice farming to climate change related to salinity intrusion and drought, while 29% of farmers did not. Additionally, only twenty-two rice farmers were typically chosen as participants in the climate smart agriculture pilot program by local government and institutions. The choices for adaptation response and climate smart agriculture participation are significantly influenced by agricultural extension services, belief in climate change, the area of farming land, as well as geographical locations (e.g., province and access to water sources). The results also reveal that climate change adaptation response, including climate smart agriculture participation, played a crucial role in improving technical efficiency of rice production by 13%–14% compared to no adaptation response.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.

  • Canal Development and Intensification of Rice Cultivation in the Mekong Delta: a Case Study in Cantho Province, Vietnam
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 39, No.1, June 2001 Canal Development and Intensification of Rice Cultivation in the Mekong Delta: A Case Study in Cantho Province, Vietnam KONO Yasuyuki* Abstract The present study described the development process of water management and rice cultivation at a village in the Mekong Delta in the three periods, before the unification of Vietnam in 1975, the socialist economy period and the doi moi period. The inter­ dependencies between canal development and intensification of rice cultivation and be­ tween agricultural development and institutional setting are found to be driving factors in agricultural development as well as social changes. I Introduction The present paper highlights the process of canal development and intensification of rice cultivation in the Vietnamese part of the Mekong Delta during the second half of the 20th century, particularly after the unification of Vietnam in 1975. This process is of particular interest in two points. The first point is the interdependency between improvement of infrastructure and innovation of cultivation techniques in agricultural development. These two factors are mutually indispensable for agricultural development. Infrastructure improvement pro­ vides better production environment in terms of water and soil, and technical innovation in such areas as variety selection, fertility control and crop care upgrades production methods to fit the improved environment. Infrastructure improvement without changes in cultivation techniques can not bring a satisfactory return on the investment, and technical innovation without infrastructure improvement has only limited effect in increasing agricultural productivity. The tropical monsoon deltas of Southeast Asia are inundated for half of the year and dry for the remaining half.
