Post-flood recovery in the central coastal plain of Vietnam: determinants and policy implications

Analyzing Post-Disaster Reconstruction Stakeholder Networks: Malaysian rural housing

“…In rural areas, it is not uncommon for some houses to be built without following proper design codes or building standards, which can lead to unsafe conditions, especially during disasters. According to stakeholder theory, identifying and managing relationships between stakeholder groups is crucial for effective crisis management (Ha, 2022). The Ministry of Public Works, the private sector and academia can play crucial roles in building back more sustainable and resilient homes, but they will need to build the capacity to influence village heads, NGOs, and homeowners to collaborate and drive change in their communities (Charlesworth and Fine, 2022).…”

“…Local government performs the role of broker in the network by establishing strong connections to the head of the local government, which in turn has links to the state government or/and by facilitating the flow of information across the state. Local government plays an influential role in connecting and linking officials from other organizations that may be disconnected from parts of the network (Ha, et al, 2022). Thus, the rural development department at the local level involvement is crucial to help identify post-disaster resourcing issues, develop community-based collaborations between local government and private-public sectors, and build back holistic and sustainable local housing and communities after a disaster (Masuda et al, 2022).…”

Climate shocks and responses: Perspectives and experiences of ethnic minority farmers in rural mountainous regions of Central Vietnam

“…The primary data of the study were obtained through a field survey, focus group discussions (FGDs), and in-depth interviews, undertaken between January and August 2019 in the SK and TD communes. A total of 174 households were randomly selected from the minority farmer lists provided by each Commune People's Committee by applying Slovin's formulation [ 28 , 46 ], as follows: where n denotes sample size, N indicates total ethnic minority farmer households in the study area, and e is the probability at 10%.…”

“…A climate shock is commonly understood as an unpredictable weather event that damages a community's sustainability [ 45 ]. Thus, “climate shocks” basically include various climate-related events such as floods, heat waves, droughts, and cyclones [ 28 , 46 ]. Similarly, risk refers to “possibly occurring events that can damage wellbeing” [ 47 ].…”

Climate‐resilient practices and welfare impacts on rice‐cultivating households in Vietnam: Does joint adoption of multiple practices matter?

“…However, ongoing changes in climatic conditions are likely to be especially challenging for rice production, a key agricultural activity in Vietnam and many other developing countries, given its direct exposure to weather. Adaptation through the use of various climate‐resilient practices is the predominant strategy for mitigating the detrimental effects of climate change (Fentie & Beyene, 2019; Ha et al, 2022; Hoang, 2020; Martey et al, 2021; Phuong et al, 2018). Consequently, the pathways associated with agricultural technology adoption in coping with climate change are of ongoing interest in the agricultural economics literature, especially in developing countries such as Vietnam.…”
