Abstract

On the realities of increasingly serious impacts of landslides on poor households along Tien River, it is necessary to do research about their livelihood resources, thereby proposing solutions to improve their living conditions. Research is conducted by direct survey questionnaire method of 135 households at the poverty level (poor, near-poor households and those with difficult circumstances) affected by landslides in Tan Binh and Tan Quoi Commune, Thanh Binh District, Dong Thap Province. The research result shows that most of their livelihood resources are deficient and mainly reliant on human capital, financial and social capital. To improve adaptive capacity of these households, the improvement of human, financial and social capital is an urgent solution to be invested and supported to them.
