Impacts of Industrial Park Development on the Surroundings’ Livelihood

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of industrial park development on the livelihood of people living around the industrial parks in the Central region of Vietnam. The data was collected from 394 households living around these industrial parks; using the data, the authors employed a quantification model among factors affecting the income of families living in the surroundings of industrial parks and they calculate the adaptive capacity of households to consider the impact of the development of industrial parks on people's livelihood. Research findings show that industrial park development has both positive and negative impacts on the livelihood of people living around the industrial parks. Specifically, the factors that positively affect the income of households living around industrial parks include the area of land acquired due to the construction of industrial parks, the transportation system after the industrial park has located there, and the number of jobs available when the industrial park is being built. The factor that negatively affects the income of households living around industrial parks when they are under construction is the number of unemployed laborers. The study also calculated that the adaptive capacity of the people after the industrial park development is a coefficient of 0.376.

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on employee income: A case study of the Vietnamese aviation industry

“…These studies all use the sustainable livelihood analysis model of DFID (1999) as a theoretical framework for research; they have calculated people's adaptive capacity through resource groups that affect their livelihoods in the context of changes including human resources, physical resources, social resources, financial resources, and natural resources. From there, studies will measure the extent of the influence of injuries on people's income (Tu et al, 2012;Cu et al, 2020;Tu et al, 2015).…”

“…The Covid-19 pandemic has brought injuries to workers in many countries, acts as an agent affecting their earnings. As one of the agents of change, changing contexts have been studied in previous studies when examining changing contexts in countries, forcing workers to have new livelihood strategies to suit actual conditions (DFID, 1999; Bury, 2004;Cu et al, 2020;Dai et al, 2013). The studies all agree that any changes in the actual context will cause difficulties for people living in those affected localities or countries.…”
