Abstract

Natural advantages create a strength for the Southwestern region in developing seafood, rice and fruit. However, in recent years, climate change, sea level rise, water exploitation in upstream Mekong River and the production and living activities by the local residents have been destroying the regional sustainable development. The article identifies some issues related to water, land, finance, transport infrastructure and institutions threatening the regional sustainable development, which are caused by several interwined factors, both internal and external, natural and human. This is an important first step in contributing to policy-making towards sustainable development in a reasonable and feasible way.
