In the coastal area of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, much of the mangrove forest has been cut to make space for expansion of industry and aquaculture. Export‐oriented shrimp farming is a particularly fast‐growing business. Nonetheless, the importance of tropical mangrove forest ecosystems for coastal protection and marine biodiversity is widely recognized. The Vietnamese government, supported by non‐governmental organizations and donors, has sought to restore mangrove forest. To this end, the government has promoted mixed or integrated mangrove‐shrimp systems in which farmers maintain at least 40 per cent of their area under mangrove cover. Since 2012, mangrove reforestation, care and protection has benefited from local authority stimulus as well. Multiple studies have examined the condition of the mangrove forest in Ben Tre and other coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta. However, no research has investigated the role of social dynamics in farmers’ willingness to shift to, or maintain, integrated mangrove‐shrimp systems. Specifically, the influence of information, group dynamics and social learning on farmer decision‐making is poorly understood and, indeed, hardly investigated in Vietnam. This article reports on a study of social processes in three communes in Binh Dai District, Ben Tre Province, Vietnam. We conducted 42 semi‐structured interviews (with 34 farmers and eight local officials) and used secondary data. Our preliminary findings indicate that social dynamics in these communes were issue‐driven and played an important role in farmers’ decisions to adopt, or convert to, the integrated mangrove‐shrimp farming system. Television, radio, the internet, books, neighbours and training courses all had some influence in farmer decision‐making processes. However, our findings suggest that the accessibility, usefulness, relevance and approach of these communication methods must be improved if they are to adequately inform and support local farmers.

越南 Ben Tre 省社会动力在向可持续综合红树林虾养殖转变中的作用的调查
在越南湄公河三角洲的沿海地区,大部分红树林已被砍伐,为工业和水产养殖的扩张腾出空间。以出口为导向的对虾养殖是一项增长特别快的业务。尽管如此,热带红树林生态系统对沿海保护和海洋生物多样性的重要性已得到广泛认可。在非政府组织和捐助者的支持下,越南政府努力恢复红树林。为此,政府推广了混合或综合红树林虾系统,其中农民将至少 40% 的面积保持在红树林覆盖下。自 2012 年以来,红树林的重新造林、照料和保护也受益于地方当局的刺激措施。多项研究调查了槟椥和湄公河三角洲其他沿海省份的红树林状况。然而,没有研究调查社会动态在农民转向或维持综合红树林虾系统的意愿中的作用。具体来说,信息、群体动态和社会学习对农民决策的影响知之甚少,实际上在越南也几乎没有进行调查。本文报告了对越南 Ben Tre 省 Binh Dai 区三个公社的社会过程的研究。我们进行了 42 次半结构化访谈(对 34 位农民和 8 位地方官员)并使用了二手数据。我们的初步调查结果表明,这些公社的社会动态是由问题驱动的,在农民决定采用或转变为 红树林-虾综合养殖系统。电视、广播、互联网、书籍、邻居和培训课程都对农民的决策过程产生了一定的影响。然而,我们的研究结果表明,如果要充分告知和支持当地农民,就必须改进这些沟通方法的可访问性、实用性、相关性和方法。
