Abstract
Peri-urban areas in Vietnam are caught between development and conservation needs, between economic development and environmental protection, between cultural preservation and sustainable development. This chapter/article examines vulnerabilities and challenges from flooding in peri-urban communities of the city of Ninh Binh, focusing on: (a) local socioeconomic development policy and the establishment of the Khanh Phu Industrial Zone; (b) impacts caused by flooding and lack of regulations, unplanned built environments, and underdeveloped water infrastructure; and (c) the varying adaptations of different social groups of households. It also explores how institutional adaptation programmes together with household responses collectively determine the resilience of the system.
