  • CENTRAL HIGHLANDS © Lonelyplanetpublications 316 Immersion Inalife Farfromthemaddingcrowd
    © Lonely Planet Publications 316 Central Highlands The beauty of the central highlands is that there’s plenty of space to disappear into. The undulating landscape that once sheltered VC soldiers down the Ho Chi Minh Trail now of- fers an intriguing refuge for travellers. There’s a rugged charm to its villages and valleys, waterfalls and winding roads, and except at the former French hill station of Dalat, foreigners are still quite a rarity. Most people come here to visit Montagnard (hill-tribe) villages; the further off the beaten track you travel, the more unspoiled an existence you’ll find. Likewise the natural attractions in the vicinity are simple, rustic affairs. Most don’t rate as must-sees, just pleasant pit stops CENTRAL HIGHLANDS if you’re roving about on your own. In 2001 and 2004 protests erupted in Buon Ma Thuot, Pleiku and other parts of the highlands, objecting to the government’s resettlement and land policies and alleged dis- crimination against Montagnards. While things seem quiet now, international human-rights groups continue to report instances of ill-treatment of ethnic minorities. As for the natural landscape, it’s beautiful but in some places marred – first by Agent Orange in the American War, then by slash-and-burn agriculture, now by expanding farms and dams. Despite its fraught history, the central highlands are safe and easy to travel. Dalat is perfect for a weekend’s respite from the heat, the rest of the highlands for a week-long immersion in a life far from the madding crowd. HIGHLIGHTS Learn about the

  • Endemic Birds and Protected Area Development on the Da Lat Plateau, Vietnam
    Bird Conservation International (1995) 5:491-523 Endemic birds and protected area development on the Da Lat Plateau, Vietnam JONATHAN C. EAMES Summary A study of Thuong Da Nhim and Chu Yang Sin Nature Reserves - identified as priority sites because located within the Da Lat Plateau Endemic Bird Area (EBA) in Vietnam - was conducted between 10 November 1993 and 1 February 1994. A total of 212 bird species, of which 11 are considered globally threatened (including the rediscovered Grey-crowned Crocias Crocias langbianis), were recorded in the reserves. Eight restricted-range species were recorded, including the four species confined to the EBA. These two reserves are of international importance because they jointly support bird communities representative of the EBA. They are also of great economic importance, being within watersheds. Their extent is believed adequate but it is not known if they encompass all representative habitats over the full altitudinal range. Local tribal communities traditionally practise shifting cultivation, which has greatly modified the extent, composition and quality of evergreen forest and is causing its increasing fragmentation. Deliberate fires are preventing the regeneration of evergreen forest and promoting the growth of a climax dominated by Pinus kesiya. This reduces bird diversity and compromises the future of the endemic bird taxa. Other threats include recent logging activities, human immigration, the urban expansion of Da Lat and consequent increasing demand for charcoal and fuelwood. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should urgently proceed with the production of management plans for these areas, aiming to create a single, enlarged protected area. The primary land-use management strategy should be to conserve remaining areas of evergreen forest and to increase their extent by boundary realignment, elimination of shifting cultivation and fire, and the introduction of sympathetic forestry practices.

  • Are Cities in Vietnam Distributed According to Zipf?
    Journal of Economics and Development Studies March 2017, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-10 ISSN: 2334-2382 (Print), 2334-2390 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jeds.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jeds.v5n1a1 Are Cities in Vietnam Distributed According to Zipf? Trang My Tran1& C. Barry Pfitzner2 Abstract In this paper we test for congruence with Zipf’s Law among cities, towns, and communes in Vietnam. Zipf’s Law prescribes a particular distribution of cities when ordered by population. Much of the extant literature testing for Zipf’s Law utilizes a methodology that has been shown to produce biased estimates in small samples. Here we employ the techniques recommended by Gabaix and Ibragimov (2007, 2011), and focus on 2009 census data of 156 urban areas in Vietnam. We find support for a distribution consistent with Zipf’s Law based on the full dataset, and two subsets: cities only, and cities and towns. Keywords: City populations, ordinary least squares, Pareto form, Vietnam, Zipf’s Law 1. Introduction Dating to the year 1913, Felix Auerbach, a German geographer noted a very interesting empirical regularity regarding the distribution of the population of cites in a given geographic area. Let rank (R) represent the rank of the city population (that is, for the largest city, R = 1, and for the second largest city, R = 2 …). If S equals the size of the city population, and S is normalized to 1 for the largest city, then R∙S = 1, approximately.
