Abstract

This work aimed at assessing impacts of climate change (CC) on landuse sector in Vinh Long province to 2020. Flood, saltwater intrusion (SI), drought, landslide, storm, temperature, rainfall were taken into consideration and assessed by data collection, matrix, expert, SWOT, and GIS methods, etc. Results showed that flood and SI were the main factors impacting landuse sector in VinhLong province, especially agricultural land. In all 8 considered districts, in the context of CC, landuse sectors in VungLiem, TraOn, and MangThit districts were of the consideration. Besides, this research indicated strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of land use sector in the relationship to CC in the local which are important basis for planning suitable adaption measures.
