“…Zimmerer and Bassett [107] and Zimmerer [33,108] provide a thorough account of cultural ecology and political ecology approaches to environment-development studies. My earlier research find geography an important factor in understanding spatial variations in agricultural conservation [109], rural and urban income inequalities [110,111], nature reserve sustainability [112], and sustainability performance in China [21,22,113]. The following example using the Global Footprint information further illustrates how paying attention to the geographic dimension of sustainability can help us understand global sustainability issues.…”

This paper provides a critical review of sustainability, including its definitions, dimensions, measurements, and practices, as well as approaches to achieve sustainability. It raises questions about conventional definitions and argues for taking into account the geographic dimension of sustainability for better understanding of the regional differences in sustainability and transition to sustainability. The paper proposes that sustainability should be defined as -living within one's own ecological means.‖ This definition pays attention to regional disparities in biocapacity and ecological footprint. It realizes that not all people's present and future needs may be met in all regions of the world.

“…The phrase "sustainable supply chain" has been used in conjunction with it, along with other words such as "sustainable green supply chain", "environmental supply chain", and "ecological supply chain" (Ageron et al, 2012;Fahimnia et al, 2015;Jia et al, 2018). Zhang (2008) developed ecotourism products by applying the fundamental principles of green supply chain management to the process of product development. Zhou et al (2018) have proposed a concept for a green supply chain that has the potential to contribute to the development of rural tourism by redistributing tourism resources.…”

The objective of the paper is to assess the impact of sustainable supply chain management practices on environmental performance of Vietnamese agricultural enterprises. The study conducted a survey of management leaders of Vietnamese agricultural enterprises. After 3 months, 328 surveys were obtained, after cleaning the data, there were 283 valid surveys for analysis. The results show that sustainable supply chain management practice has a positive impact on environmental performance and environmental regulations are not enough grounds to affirm a moderating role in the relationship between sustainable supply chain management practice and environmental performance of Vietnamese agricultural enterprises. From there, the study makes recommendations for Vietnamese agricultural enterprises.

Tourism has emerged as one of the world’s largest industries and a fast growing economic sector. The Asian region attracts a growing number of quality-conscious tourists as it is endowed with a rich bio-cultural/heritage diversity. However, the diversity and integrity of many Asian tourist destinations have been severely eroded or irreversibly damaged due to ill-conceived, poorly planned, and under-regulated mass tourism and other human activities, increasing the conflicts between conservation and local livelihoods. Fortunately, the newly emerging community-based eco-cultural heritage tourism (CBECHT) can be effectively used in the region for achieving the objectives of sustainable development by integrating pro-poor tourism approaches. Such approaches are strongly promoted and supported by several international organizations as well as Local Agenda 21. This article provides a broad conceptual framework for this approach and evaluates the potentials and constraints for evolving and implementing such strategies in the region with their policy/planning implications.
