Abstract
This study aimed to explore the vulnerability context of indigenous people in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. The study sheds light on the topic by objectively examining external and internal factors. Land-use change and socioeconomic transformation were investigated as external conditions. Meanwhile, the actor role of indigenous people was examined as an internal factor that enables them to cope with external conditions. The summary of this book highlights the main contributions that this study sought to provide: (1) To what extent do land-use changes and other external conditions influence the livelihood dynamics of indigenous people? (2) What internal factors impede indigenous people’s livelihoods, and to what extent do these factors contribute to their ability to cope with constraints?
