“…In developing countries, land in peri-urban areas is in great demand for several purposes, from the construction of the public infrastructure, factories, commercial centers to housing. These demands can result in significant changes in peri-urban livelihoods, for the better or the worse (Mattingly, 2009). As noted by P. Gregory and M. Mattingly (2009), on the one hand, urbanization causes intense competition for land, deterioration and a loss of access to natural resources, and these in turn have a negative impact on natural resource-based livelihoods.…”

This paper has reviewed recent empirical evidence on the link between nonfarm employment, land and rural livelihoods in the context of increasing a land loss to urbanization and industrialization in some developing countries and Vietnam. It was found that while land is of great importance to a number of countries, it seems to be less important to others. Land shortage can be a positive factor encouraging rural households' participation in nonfarm activities and improving their welfare in countries in which non-farm job opportunities are available to a large part of the population. Nevertheless, this can negatively affect rural household livelihoods in countries lacking such nonfarm jobs. In Vietnam, nonfarm employment has gained increasing importance to rural livelihoods. In addition, in peri-urban areas where more and more farmland has been lost to rapid urbanization and industrialization, nonfarm employment was found to help households reduce their dependence on farmland and improve their welfare.

“…On the negative side, the loss of traditional livelihoods is one of the direct consequences of land acquisition, especially the acquisition of agricultural land (Guilio, 2014;Firman, 2000;Zhang and Lu, 2011;Mattingly, 2009). For instance, it is estimated that more than five million hectares of agricultural land in china was acquired for non-agricultural uses during the period 1978-2008.…”

Land acquisition for urbanisation in Vietnam has become a hot topic, attracting attention not only from land administrators, but also from the media and politicians. This paper draws on the case of Hue to investigate how farmers reconstruct their livelihoods after land loss. The findings indicate that the majority of people are able to reconstruct their livelihoods with better living conditions. Besides the employment opportunities derived from an expanding local economy, such as in Hue, remaining in the same physical environment and the retention of social networks are important factors for successful livelihood reconstruction. However, there are emerging issues that challenge equitable development and sustainable livelihoods, such as increased vulnerability for the elderly and infirm after land loss, in addition to the difficulties casual workers may face in the long term. The capacity of households to adapt to new situations, training, consultations and social security systems for the affected farmers should, therefore, be taken into account.

“…First, given the loss of land due to urbanisation, peri urban households have adapted by intensively farming small plots of land and moving towards high value agricultural products with a ready urban market (Mattingly, 2009). This suggests that future studies should examine the impact of land loss on agricultural intensification and transition towards highly profitable farming.…”

“…The minimum and maximum amounts were VND 4,000,000 and VND 326,000,000, respectively.2 An adequate compensation for land loss was proposed as a possibility that might help households switch to an alternative livelihood in the peri-urban areas of Kumasi, Ghana (Mattingly, 2009). Unfortunately for Vietnamese households, there has been a large gap between the compensation level defined by the government guidelines, and the real value of the land determined by market principles (Han and Vu, 2008).…”

“…In devel oping countries, land beyond the urban fringe is in huge demand for various purposes, including the construction of public infrastructure, factories, commercial centres and housing. These demands for peri-urban land can bring about considerable changes in peri-urban livelihoods, for better or worse (Mattingly, 2009). According to Gregory and Mattingly (2009), urbanisation on the one hand leads to intense competition for land, deterioration and loss of access to natural resources, and these in turn have a detrimental effect on natural resource-based livelihoods.…”
