“…All four villages showed increasing rates of finfish production; this could suggest salinity decreases, and farming techniques were driving the trends. Studies in coastal Vietnamies delta found similar result of higher fish and vegetables production with reduced salinity by salinity protective infrastructure [ 28 , 30 , 58 ]. Furthermore, a reduction in salinity can improve vegetable crops significantly [ 89 ].…”

“…In global deltaic coastal zones salinity is one of the significant drivers of land-use change and the farming system [ [28] , [29] , [30] , 57 ]. The SW region of Bangladesh lying on the one of the most active coastal deltaic zone are subjected to changing salinity and associated farming practices [ 4 , 14 , 15 , 25 ].…”

“…Many studies have identified adaptations as potential solutions to confront vulnerability due to climate change-driven sea-level rise and salinity effects in coastal areas [ [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] ]. Tran et al assessed the livelihood vulnerability and adaptation of two coastal communities to extreme saltwater intrusion and droughts in Soc Trang province of the Vietnam Mekong Delta and found diversification of farming system is one of the preferred adaptation options [ 28 ]. Wijayanti and Pratomo, analyzed the adaptation to the vulnerability of socio-economic activities for coastal communities of Semarang, Indonesia [ 31 ].…”

“…Sustainable land management must combine geographical, biophysical, economic, social, and political conditions [52]. In general, coastal communities depend on coastal resources, so if land management is not carried out properly, it can impact community food security [53], [54]. Even small islands are vulnerable to food insecurity caused by their geographical conditions [55]- [58].…”

Small islands possess the main character, namely limited land resources; thus, their development must pay attention to the land's capability to support life. Sulabesi is one of the small islands located in the North Maluku Islands with a very low to very high level of land capability. As a small island and center of activity, it faces several problems, including population growth, land availability, and vulnerability to natural disasters. The study aimed to assess the suitability of land capability with land cover and disaster risk and provide direction for the development. Additionally, it employed an overlap analysis method using the ArcGIS 10.5 tool with spatial data, namely land capability and disaster risk, and land cover changes from Landsat 7 & 8 satellite imagery throughout 2000, 2010, and 2020. The research finding denoted that Sulabesi Island continues to experience changes in land cover, particularly the increase in built-up land for 20 years. These changes were then spread over the land capability of class A and class B development capability characteristics of 280.46 ha. Furthermore, the suitability between land capability and disaster risk areas was also observable in classes A, B, and C, with the risk of tsunamis, earthquakes, and landslides. Thus, efforts to manage sustainable land use, mainly built-up lands, must be directed at the capability of land with a very high -medium development classification and free from disaster risk. It can be a reference for future research in developing small islands that are more resilient.

“…Sustainable livelihood research focuses on how human beings survive and maintain their sources of income and is widely used to study the human dimension of development issues and global change (Savari and Moradi, 2022). Scholars have explored the risks of vulnerable environments to farmers' livelihoods (Thuy et al, 2022;Ye et al, 2022) and the adaptability of farmers to such risks (Chen et al, 2021;Tran et al, 2021). An evaluation system was constructed to carry out a quantitative analysis of farmers' livelihood assets (Wang et al, 2021), analyze the factors affecting farmers' these assets (D'Annolfo et al, 2021), and propose countermeasures to promote their optimization and transformation (Sivagnanam et al, 2019).…”

Ecocultural tourism plays an crucial role in promoting poverty reduction and farmers’ sustainable livelihood enhancement worldwide, which has attracted strong attention from scholars and society. However, the impact of ecological and cultural capital of farmers’ sustainable livelihoods have not been yet fully investigated. This paper modifies the sustainable livelihoods framework (SLF) and emphasizes the effects of ecological and cultural capital on farmers’ sustainable livelihoods. The modified SLF can be used as a possible theoretical model to comprehensively characterize farmers’ sustainable livelihoods in tourism destinations with rich ecological and cultural resources. By constructing an evaluation index system, principle component analysis and multiple linear regression are used to analyze the types and response levels of farmers’ sustainable livelihoods to ecocultural tourism and determine the factors influencing this response. The results show that farmers’ sustainable livelihood responses to ecocultural tourism can be classified into six types. The overall response values are low, and the responses are ranked by the degree of response in descending order as complete response, balanced development, cultural network, ecology-dominant, developmental delay, and resource advantage response. Farmers’ sustainable livelihoods respond strongly to cultural capital and ecological capital factors and relatively weakly to physical, natural, social, financial, and labor capital. Five main factors that influence farmers’ sustainable livelihood responses are then identified. Finally, strategies and suggestions for livelihood transformation, strategy selection, and improvement are proposed. This study provides case study examples for promoting the sustainable development of ecocultural tourism sites and improving farmers’ livelihoods in China and worldwide.
