This study points out that the outbreak of Covid – 19 has brought upon unprecedented challenges and profoundly affected the economic development of Da Nang, the key city in the central region of Vietnam, due to the long-term implementation of isolation and social distancing. The city's economic growth rate has been negative since the separation of Quang Nam - Da Nang province. Indicators measuring economic development like GRDP, income per capita are declined. At the same time, there is an increase in the unemployment rate and underemployment of workers. Many key economic activities of the city are deeply affected, especially tourism, retail, investment and importexport activities.
In Viet Nam, climate change is becoming more and more obvious, causing many difficulties for people's livelihood, especially for ethnic minorities, who still have limitations in terms of education and responding skills and therefore they have very few livelihood options. The Co Tu people are ethnic minorities living mainly in the mountainous communes of Hoa Vang district, Da Nang City, Viet Nam. The consequences of climate change directly affect the physical and spiritual life of the local inhabitants. The objective of this study is to assess the livelihood vulnerability to climate change for the Co Tu ethnic group in Hoa Vang district, Da Nang City based on the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI). This empirical research has implemented the framework for Livelihood Vulnerability to Climate Change proposed by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The results of the study show that the livelihood vulnerability of the Co Tu ethnic group in Da Nang is relatively low, in the Co Tu people in Phu Tuc village have a livelihood vulnerability lower than the Ta Lang and Gian Bi villages. However, some aspects need to be improved such as social network, health, food, and household living conditions. This research contributes to raising awareness against climate change and environmental protection; at the same time, it helps management agencies to have appropriate policies to ensure synchronous development and improve all aspects of the community's life.
Sustainable development now becomes zeitgeist of our age which can be perceived as the development that guarantees the balance between economic development, social well-being and environmental component, to satisfy the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need. From one hand, it is a way to define the goals which a good society should achieve to ensure better quality of life for all inhabitants of the planet, both for the present generation and for future generations. From the other hand, sustainable development is a way to understand the world as a complex interaction within and between economic, social, environmental systems. This article aims to measure the intersystem equilibrium of sustainable development by analyzing the statistical relationships between the different dimensions of sustainability. All of the analysis use the complete raw existing data set provided for 24 indicators for the years 2016 of 63 administrative units of Vietnam. The results show that there is an average relationship between subsystems of sustainable development in Vietnam measured by the level of mutual explanation of original set of variables of each subsystem in the procedure of canonical correlation analysis.
