focuses on recent technological developments in disaster investigation and
research through advanced computational techniques combined with geo-informatics
and Earth observation datasets to manage, adapt and natural and man-made
disaster reduction. Associate Professor.Dr. Nguyen An Thinh is the author of
the book chapter "Geography of adaptation solutions to climate change in
the Northern mountainous region of Vietnam: Quantitative analysis of the
intentions of indigenous ethnic minorities using the model." structural
equation modeling (SEM) and protection dynamics theory (PMT).
The book
chapter presents the results of applied research combining structural equation
modeling (SEM) and protection dynamics theory (PMT) to study the community's
intentions in climate change adaptation in Van district. Chan, Yen Bai
province. The survey questionnaire was built with 243 local people surveyed
according to thematic groups: risk perception, beliefs, subjective norms,
adaptation assessment, production habits and adaptation intention. 500
bootstrap samples were randomly selected from the original sample to estimate
the coefficients and standard errors. Structural models of climate change
adaptation intentions for the district and 4 ethnic groups Kinh, Thai, Tay and
Mong were built. The results of the study suggest that these communities are
more concerned with the effectiveness of adaptation actions to improve
resilience after disasters. The intention to implement climate change
adaptation measures does not depend much on perceived risks of climate change
impacts. The multi-group structural analysis showed that these results were
different among ethnic groups.
