This study analyzed the effects of climate change on rice farmers’ livelihoods vulnerability by using primary data elicited from 405 rice farming households in Can Tho, Dong Thap, and Tien Giang provinces in the Mekong Delta Region (MDR) of Vietnam. The Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) showed that Can Tho province was the most vulnerable to climate change, followed by Dong Thap and Tien Giang provinces. In particular, the social index sub-indicator showed high vulnerability. The beta regression analysis identified seventeen significant factors influencing the susceptibility of rice farming households in the study area, such as weather information, flood occurrence, drought occurrence, access to extension services, access to credit, and cooperative membership as well as demographic variables and livelihoods related factors. The LVI result suggests the need for the government to consider raising the priority on households in Can Tho province through adaptation support to improve the resilience and adaptive capacity, especially by enhancing the social network in this area to stimulate support from local authorities and farmer groups. The regression results imply that extension services should provide adequate and timely weather information to equip the farmers to be more prepared for climatic shocks. Moreover, credit facilities with low interest rates should be made available, especially to those who are members of agricultural cooperatives.

越南湄公河三角洲地区小农户稻米农户易受气候变化和变化影响的因素

这项研究通过使用越南湄公河三角洲(MDR)芹Can,同塔和天江省405个稻农家庭的主要数据,分析了气候变化对稻农生计脆弱性的影响。民生脆弱性指数(LVI)显示,芹T省最容易受到气候变化的影响,其次是同塔省和天江省。特别是,社会指数子指标显示出很高的脆弱性。Beta回归分析确定了影响研究区域稻米农户敏感性的17个重要因素,例如天气信息,洪水发生,干旱发生,获得推广服务,获得信贷,合作社成员身份以及人口统计变量和生计相关因素。LVI结果表明,政府需要考虑通过适应支持来提高芹raising省家庭的优先级,以提高抵御力和适应能力,特别是通过增强该地区的社会网络来激发地方当局和农民团体的支持。回归结果表明,推广服务应提供充足和及时的天气信息,使农民有更多的能力应对气候变化。此外,应提供低利率的信贷便利,特别是对那些农业合作社成员而言。特别是通过加强该地区的社交网络来激发地方当局和农民团体的支持。回归结果表明,推广服务应提供充足和及时的天气信息,使农民有更多的能力应对气候变化。此外,应提供低利率的信贷便利,特别是对那些农业合作社成员而言。特别是通过加强该地区的社交网络来激发地方当局和农民团体的支持。回归结果表明,推广服务应提供充足和及时的天气信息,使农民有更多的能力应对气候变化。此外,应提供低利率的信贷便利,特别是对那些农业合作社成员而言。
