Her research explores the changing nature of natural resource-based livelihood strategies for individuals, households, and communities in the rural Global South, especially in Mexico and Central America. She is interested particularly in how gender ideologies and practices relate to livelihood strategies and land-use/environmental change. Her research also examines the gendered nature of resource access, control, and decision making in smallholder farming systems. Prior to receiving her PhD in Geography from Clark University, Dr. Radel worked as a community development consultant in Colombia. She holds a Master's in Public Affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where she studied international development. She received her Bachelor's degree from Brown University, with dual concentration in Environmental Studies and Comparative Development Studies. Jacqueline M. Vadjunec is an Associate Professor of Geography at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. Her research explores issues surrounding agriculture, land use, and livelihoods in the Americas. She is especially interested in using mixed methods and participatory approaches for studying the impact of governance on both livelihoods and land-use land-cover change (LULCC). Jacqueline received her PhD and MA in Geography from Clark University, and her BA in both Geography and English from Bucknell University. v Preface to “Changing Land Use, Changing Livelihoods” The papers in this volume were inspired by lively discussions regarding relationships between smallholder livelihoods and land-use land-cover change (LULCC) at the Land System Science Symposium (LSSS) at the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) in Chicago (2015). Those engaging discussions at the LSSS, along with our own research interests at the time, led naturally to the development of a Special Issue on the place of smallholders today, their changing land use and changing livelihoods. This edited volume has benefited from our own related research (and vice versa) funded by National Science Foundation (NSF) research grants (1266381 and 1056811). The editors thank Andrew Millington, the Academic Editor-in-Chief of Land, for his patience and support during this long process. We also thank Elvis Wang, the Managing Editor for Land, as well as the other countless very helpful support staff at MDPI. We are grateful for the collegiality of the contributors, as well as the many helpful reviewers, whose comments greatly improved the quality of the Special Issue. B.L. Turner II was especially helpful at various stages along the way. Lastly, we thank smallholders and farmers everywhere for sharing their time and knowledge with us. Without their generosity and support there would be no Special Issue. We hope in these pages you will see the continued importance of smallholders today to human–environment studies and to the wellbeing of humans and their land systems. Claudia A.

  • Challenging Slopes: Ethnic Minority Livelihoods, State Visions, and Land‑Use Land Cover Change in Vietnam’S Northern Mountainous Borderlands
    Environment, Development and Sustainability https://doi.org/10.1007/s10668-021-01539-1 Challenging slopes: ethnic minority livelihoods, state visions, and land‑use land cover change in Vietnam’s northern mountainous borderlands An Thinh Nguyen1 · Sarah Turner2 · Margaret Kalacska2 Received: 1 May 2020 / Accepted: 22 May 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2021 Abstract Sloping farmlands dominate much of Vietnam’s northern borderlands with China. Here, ethnic minority farmers have relied on their traditional ecological knowledge for centu- ries to fashion sustainable semi-subsistence livelihoods as best they can. With a rapidly increasing agrarian transition, these farmers must now juggle the agro-ecological limits of their farmlands with new state agricultural policies, growing market integration, and increasing extreme weather events. Despite about 60 percent of Vietnam’s landmass com- prising slopes greater than 15°, there is sparse information regarding how best to support sustainable livelihood approaches in such regions. Yet, an understanding of current crop choices, agricultural limits, and farmer decision-making processes in such locales is vital for relevant, slope-related policy suggestions to be formulated. In this paper, we take a mixed methods approach, combining land-use and land cover (LULC) change mapping with qualitative interviews and observations, to investigate the interactions among sloping lands, LULC change, and local livelihoods in a remote, mountainous commune in northern Vietnam’s borderlands. We analyze LULC maps for Bản Phố commune, Lào Cai province, which contains 13 ethnic minority Hmong villages and has a fairly typical upland topog- raphy with three-quarters of the land sloped over 15°.

  • Land System Resilience: Linking Land Use Change, State Policy and Ethnic Minority Resource Management in Northern Upland Vietnam
    LAND SYSTEM RESILIENCE: LINKING LAND USE CHANGE, STATE POLICY AND ETHNIC MINORITY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN NORTHERN UPLAND VIETNAM Kate Trincsi Department of Geography McGill University Submitted March 2017 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science. © Kate Trincsi ABSTRACT In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, state policies governing land use, market integration, and poverty reduction largely determine the prospects for social-ecological resilience. In turn, land system change in the northern uplands has largely been shaped by market liberalization and the integration of ethnic minority farmers into state development practices and ideologies. Hybrid crops and plantation forestry are increasingly being adopted with important implications for local livelihoods and ecosystems, although the long-term outcomes of such land changes remain poorly understood. The aim of this thesis is to explore the relationships between state policy, land use change, and social-ecological resilience from 1999 to 2014 in Lào Cai Province, Vietnam. To do so, I draw on a conceptual framework integrating social-ecological systems, resilience, land system change, and sustainable livelihoods. Taking a mixed methods approach, I developed 15m resolution object-oriented land cover classifications, which I analyzed for change in landscape structure and function from 1999 to 2014. I also completed qualitative fieldwork including 75 semi-structured and informal interviews with government officials and Hmong, Yao, and Tày farmers. I find that there has been an important increase in plantation forestry, cash crops, and urban areas. Concurrently, total area under agricultural cultivation and secondary vegetation have declined, pointing to a land system regime shift.

  • Markets in the Mountains: Upland Trade-Scapes, Trader Livelihoods, and State Development Agendas in Northern Vietnam
    MARKETS IN THE MOUNTAINS: UPLAND TRADE-SCAPES, TRADER LIVELIHOODS, AND STATE DEVELOPMENT AGENDAS IN NORTHERN VIETNAM Christine Bonnin Department of Geography McGill University, Montréal Submitted October 2011 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Christine Bonnin 2011 In loving memory of a dear friend, Radoslaw Stypczynski (Radek) and for his Sa Pa Sisters ii ABSTRACT In this dissertation I investigate market formation and integration in the northern uplands of Vietnam (Lào Cai province) through a focus on the everyday processes by which markets are created and (re)shaped at the confluence of local innovation and initiatives, state actions, and wider market forces. Against a historically-informed backdrop of the ‘local’ research context with regard to ethnicity, cultural practice, livelihoods, markets and trade, I situate and critique the broader Vietnam state agenda. At present, the state supports regularising market development often in accordance with a lowland majority model, and promoting particular aspects of tourism that at times mesh, while at others clash, with upland subsistence needs, customary practice, and with uplanders successfully realising new opportunities. State-led initiatives to foster market integration are often instituted without informed consideration of their effects on the specific nature and complexity of upland trade, such as for the realisation of materially and culturally viable livelihoods. Conceptually, I weave together a framework for the study that draws key elements from three main strands of scholarship: 1) actor-oriented approaches to livelihoods; 2) social embeddedness, social network and social capital approaches to market trade and exchange, and; 3) the commodity-oriented literature.

Thus, along with the institutional and organizational reform, the public finance reform is also a central task of the administrative reform in the condition that Vietnam continues to strongly transition from the centralized mechanism. The subsidy to a socialist-oriented market economy, in particular, is even more necessary when Vietnam has become an official member of the World Trade Organization. One of the current concerns for good implementation of public finance reform is the implementation of autonomy and self-responsibility for the use of payroll and administrative management funding for administrative agencies. state and financial autonomy mechanism for non-business units. This article focuses on analyzing the current situation of reforming the financial operation mechanism of public non-business units in Lao Cai province, Vietnam, pointing out the achievements, limitations, causes and some recommendations to end.
