摘要：A study was conducted in Tri Ton district of Mekong delta in Southern Vietnam to
examine the sustainability of the agricultural production system. The major objective
of the study was to examine the misuse of land and suggest appropriate land-use
alternatives. The data used were both spatial and socioeconomic collected through
household survey. Land suitability classification for biophysical suitability and
infrastructural suitability was carried out following FAO framework of land
evaluation using GIS. Mapping of land misuses indicated that fair amount of current
land-use practices does not match the given land quality probably due to the
prevalent socioeconomic constraints that influence land use decision-making
eventually resulting into lower farm household income. A land-use allocation plan is
suggested based on biophysical suitability and socioeconomic preferences with an
aim to restore the declining land quality and support livelihoods of the land users
with reasonable income from the agriculture.
