A REVIEW OF PROJECT RANKING AND CLASSIFICATION SCHEME IN CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH, STRIVING TOWARDS A SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN VIET NAM

Tóm tắt

Climate change is expected to have negative impacts on earth environmental systems. Given the impacts, there has been a tremendous amount of research on the topic of climate change. From the research, a large volume of information has been provided, yet, lack a systematic organization. Therefore, research project ranking and classification form an important part for project transfer and dissemination. Research in the past attempted to create frameworks grading outputs, effectiveness, and efficiencies of research projects. Specifically, these frameworks are used to analyze organizations, studies, topics, projects, programs with their process of reaching its objectives; how their outputs interact with related factors and achieving the final goal; or how are they supposed to be applied into practical problems effectively, etc. This has been adopted in Viet Nam, however, the frameworks are still limited in its complexity and opted for more simplicity. In light of the National Research Program on Climate Change, Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NRPCRE) for the period 2011-2015 and 2016-2020, research projects on the topic of climate change has been conducted. Although information has been sorted, there is still a lack of collection and classification through a synchronic process. Hence, a comprehensive framework has been adopted in this study, based on the fundamental theory of efficiency, effectiveness. In this specific case study, 48 projects of NRPCRE 2011-2015 are ranked and classified, 04 of them are chosen for their outstanding results presented in the final total points (FTPs). This framework in our study might be uncomplicated, though, it is assumed as the most suitable version compare to recent available sources of information.
