Abstract
Background:Under-developed countries like Vietnam are facing sustainability problems in developing transportation infrastructure for rural and remote areas. The lack of financial resources and public support is the causative factor of the problem. Rural community participation is considered crucial to resolving these problems. Even demographics strongly influenced, but how they should interact with community participation is still under study in the South-eastern provinces of Vietnam.Methods:South-eastern provinces of Vietnam, including HoChiMinh City and BaRia-VungTau, BinhDuong, BinhPhuoc, DongNai and TayNinh provinces, were selected for the study due to the high requirement of rural transportation infrastructure in these provinces. Questionnaires were sent to local households for data collection. Data analysis was conducted descriptively with the model of logistic regression.Results:Community participation is identified as contributions in terms of finance, labor, material, and land. Household composition, education, income, and a member in the household as a community leader are among the chief contributing factors to community participation.Conclusion:The study can be beneficial for policymakers and local governors in planning and predicting local rural development programs. It aims to enhance rural community participation and increase rural transportation infrastructure in the South-eastern provinces of Vietnam.
Highlights
From 2010 to 2020, Vietnam has newly built, renovated, upgraded and maintained, and repaired 345,897 km of roads, 31,364 bridges, and 125,639 culverts, thereby increasing the rate of hardening of rural roads from 37.9% in 2010 to 69.15% in 2020
This study aims to explore the current status of community participation through a case study in the South-eastern provinces of Vietnam (Fig. 1) as a typical Mekong delta zone that urgently needs a rural transportation infrastructure
Focusing on building and perfecting institutions, especially perfecting the system of mechanisms and policies for community management participation in rural transport infrastructure development, is the most important and decisive factor in creating a favorable environment for the mobilization of resources to participate in the development of the transport infrastructure system, at the same time creating a legal basis for management more efficient [33]
Summary
From 2010 to 2020, Vietnam has newly built, renovated, upgraded and maintained, and repaired 345,897 km of roads, 31,364 bridges, and 125,639 culverts, thereby increasing the rate of hardening of rural roads from 37.9% in 2010 to 69.15% in 2020. A rural transport system with the participation of the community people is important. The Open Transportation Journal, 2021, Volume 15 109 for land roads, 3 billion for the railway, and 25 billion for ports [3]. It will require a capital of about 15-16 billion USD every year. Under-developed countries like Vietnam are facing sustainability problems in developing transportation infrastructure for rural and remote areas. Rural community participation is considered crucial to resolving these problems.
