Boosting model-based control in older adults
Authors: Patzelt Edward , Kool Wouter , Gershman Samuel J.
Published: February 2019

The tension between habits and plans is reflected in everyday decision-making. Habits are computationally cheap, but fail to flexibly adapt to changes in the environment. Planning is a flexible decision-making strategy, but requires greater resources. Arbitration between habits and plans has been formalized using reinforcement learning algorithms that distinguish between model-free control (habits) and model-based control (plans). Evidence about these two decision-making approaches suggests model-based control follows a developmental trajectory, emerging during adolescence, strengthening during young adulthood, and declining in older adulthood. The normative decline in planning (model-based control) presents the opportunity to develop interventions to increase flexible decision-making. Therefore, we asked if incentives could be used to increase model-based control in older adults. We expected older adults would fail to increase model-based control in response to incentives. This prediction was based upon prior research suggesting older adulthood is associated with deficits in representing and updating the expected value of rewards. Contrary to our expectations, in Experiment 1 we found that incentives could be used to boost model-based control in older adults sampled from an online population. We hypothesized this may be due to previous experience with the task (or with similar tasks). In Experiment 2, a naïve sample of older adults did not boost model-based control in response to incentives. These results suggest that incentives may be a useful intervention to increase model-based planning in older adulthood, but this may require extensive experience with the incentive structure.
The Influence of Sociocultural Beliefs on Adolescents’ Moral and Tolerance Evaluations Toward Corruption
Authors: Martínez Cristhian A. , Posada Roberto
Published: February 2019

In the present research, we examine how sociocultural beliefs facilitate more positive and tolerant evaluations toward corruption. Ninety-six adolescents from 6th grade (M = 11.9 years), 11th grade (M = 16.6 years), and college (M = 20.5 years), from Colombia—a country with high levels of corruption—evaluated how morally right and acceptable were bribery and nepotism across a baseline condition without sociocultural information, and three experimental conditions including sociocultural beliefs about illegality, institutional illegitimacy, and survival. Results suggest that compared to the baseline, the sociocultural beliefs in the three experimental conditions lead to more positive and tolerant evaluations, and less severity and more acceptability towards corruption in different degrees. Implications for moral reasoning about corruption are discussed.
Oh, The Things You Don’t Know: Awe Promotes Awareness of Knowledge Gaps and Science Interest
Authors: McPhetres Jonathon
Published: February 2019

Awe is described as an a “epistemic emotion” because it is hypothesized to make gaps in one’s knowledge salient. However, no empirical evidence for this yet exists. Awe is also hypothesized to be an antecedent to interest in science because science is one way to fill those knowledge gaps. Results from four pre-registered studies (N = 1,518) indicate that manipulating awe through online (Studies 1a, 1b, and 1c) and virtual reality (Study 2) videos, led to greater awareness of knowledge gaps. Awareness of knowledge gaps was consistently associated with greater science interest and to choosing tickets to a science museum over tickets to an art museum (Study 1b). These effects were not consistently observed on, nor moderated by, other measures related to cognition, religion, and spirituality. However, exploratory analyses showed that science interest was better predicted by positive emotions than by awe. Still, these results provide the first empirical evidence of awe as an “epistemic emotion” by demonstrating its effects on awareness of knowledge gaps. These findings are also extended to the effects of awe on science interest as one possible outcome of awareness of knowledge gaps.

HEALTH CONDITION IN PERSONS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Authors: Trajkovski Vladimir
Published: February 2019

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are behaviourally defined syndromes where the etiology and pathophysiology are not very well understood. If the child has been diagnosed with autism, parents already face special behavioural challenges. What makes ASD even more difficult, are the many other medical health issues that often arise in this population.The purpose of this article is to summarise the latest understanding of autism’s commonly associated physical and mental health conditions.Methods: An analysis of relevant literature, sources from the internet and published literature, personal experience and observations of the author.Recent findings: Autism is a disorder of the whole body. It is often in co-morbidity with: epilepsy, gastrointestinal disorders, neuro-inflammation and immunological disorders, asthma, eczema, sleep disturbances, eating and feeding disorders, food allergies, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), headaches, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Fragile X syndrome, intellectual disability, nonverbal learning disorder, motor clumsiness, Tourette syndrome, sensory problems, tuberous sclerosis, oxidative stress, acquired mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic abnormalities. Many of the issues outlined here can overlap each other.Conclusions:Improved understanding of the underlying pathology of ASD and associated conditions, and the development of a common purpose across multiple treating sites, can improve the consistent and coordinated healthcare of children with autism. There is need for the development of improved strategies for delivering effective health education and healthcare to this large population. Improving the ability of these persons to lead relatively independent lives has a great economic impact.

Authors: Sah Ram Bahadur , Pathak Dilendra Raj , Paudyal Kabi Raj
Published: February 2019

Geological setting and lithostratigraphy of Balanch area in the Darchula District, Far-western Nepal has been worked out with the aim to study the stratigraphy of the area. It has been found that the Bitule Dolomite developed in this area possibly represents the youngest rock unit of the Midland Group of the Nepal Lesser Himalaya. The Balanch area lies within the autochthonous zone of the Lesser Himalaya. The rock succession has been divided into six units: Bagadi Slate, Simar Talc Beds, Baril Dolomite, Tupkan Slate, Bitule Dolomite, and Balligad Sandstone. The Balligad Sandstone possibly belongs to the rock succession of Lower Tertiary whereas all other units belong to the Midland Group. From south to north, the area is characterized by the development of three tectonic zones. The southern zone is characterized by the development of oldest rock unit (Bagadi Slate) having NW to NE trend and dipping towards south and possibly thrusted over the middle zone. The middle zone is characterized by the development of the Simar Talc Beds, Baril Dolomite, and the Tupkan Slate, and also thrusted over rock succession of the northern zone, which is characterized by the development of the Bitule Dolomite and the Balligad Sandstone, the youngest rock units of the area.

Authors: Gyawali Prakash , Tamrakar Naresh Kazi
Published: February 2019

Landslide susceptibility analysis is carried out in the Chure Khola Catchment, between Amlekhganj and the Churia Mai Range of the Bara District, covering area of 20 sq. km. The catchment lies in the Siwalik Hills composing the Siwalik Group of rocks of Middle Miocene to Early Pleistocene age. Owing to the week and fragile geology, the Siwalik Hills are prone to the gully erosion, shallow landslide and debris flow, during the heavy rain storms in monsoon seasons. In the present study, landslide susceptibility assessment was carried out using two methods, rapid field-based assessment and statistical index methods. For the susceptibility mapping of the river bank slopes, field- based method was used. The seven parameters such as slope angle, slope material, reduction to groundwater, effect of drainage, effect of past failure, effect of vegetation cover and effect of land use were used to calculate the factor of safety in the field. The slope areas were classified as highly susceptible (FS<0.7), susceptible (0.7<FS<1), marginally stable (1<FS<1.2) and stable (FS>1.2) categories, and finally, a susceptibility map was prepared. For the total 4.179 sq. km area where rapid field-based assessment was carried out, the areas covered by highly susceptible, susceptible, marginally stable and stable zones are respectively, 21.56%, 22.11%, 17.37% and 38.95%. Among the highly susceptible and susceptible zones identified, 71% sites have experienced recent slope failures. Landslide susceptibility mapping of the whole catchment area was prepared using statistical index method, and considering seven causative parameters such as elevation, slope, slope aspect, curvature, river proximity, stream density and lithology, which were determined and prepared from DEM using Arc GIS. Eighty percent landslides were used as the training sample for the spatial analysis, whereas 20% landslides were used for the validation of the study. The landslide susceptibility map exhibits the areas covered by very high, high, moderate, low and very low susceptibility zones are 47.18%, 25.28%, 19.77%, 3.60% and 4.16%, respectively. Validity of the study was determined using Riemann Sums method. Success Rate Curve shows that 78.04 % of the areas lie under the curve. Evaluating susceptibility in small watershed is important to mitigate shallow landslide related problems and in rehabilitating forest areas in the Churiya Hills of Nepal.

Authors: Alam Mohammad Feruj , Hossain Munir , Hossain Md Azahar
Published: February 2019

The study has been carried out for an urban hazard analyses to find out the engineering geological characteristics of subsurface sediments and causes of two storied tin shed unexpectedly and suddenly collapsed and submerged in Rampura valley, Dhaka city, Bangladesh on the 15 April, 2015. Total 12 people were spot died due to collapsed tin shed. The area is covered by valley and this valley is composed of organic material, clayey silt, silty sand and sandy silt. Atterberg limit test indicates that the sediments are slightly plastic and low compressibility inorganic silts. Specific gravity of the sediments varies from 2.66 to 2.68, natural moisture content about 34.5%, dry density about 1.37 gm/cc, wet density about 1.84 gm/cc and unconfined compression strength about 45.9 Kpa. From this result, it reveals that shallow foundation is not suitable for the study area but deep foundation particularly pile foundation would be required. Five major possible causes have been identified for this incident, these are (1) presence of a valley and valley deposits, (2) very soft organic clay and soft slightly plastic clayey silt, (3) poor quality construction materials of shed and shallow foundation pillar, (4) overloaded by inhabitants with their usable items, and (5) filled up asides of the valley by filling materials which pressurized the pillar of the shed. Due to push or additional side pressure by filling materials to the foundation pillar, the pillar was moved and imbalanced the total shed and finally shed was suddenly subsided and collapsed by uniform settlement. Finally, it can be concluded that geological and engineering - geological study must be carried out for an urban hazard analyses in Rampura valley area as well as other valley areas in Dhaka city for future plan of urbanization and avoiding this type of urban hazard.

Published: February 2019

The Belt-and-Road initiative foresees the construction of transportation routes across continents. One of such railway routes is planned from Tibet (China) through the Himalayan Range to Nepal and India, and envisaged to be one of the most important economic corridors. Based on the field investigation, this paper analyses the engineering geological conditions along the proposed route and proposes a preliminary design of the alignment. The alignment starts from Dingri (Tingri) via Jilong from Tibet and ends in Kathmandu, with a total length of 357 km. Based on the geological and geomorphic characteristics, the alignment can be divided into five zones: the mid mountain and wide valley, mid mountain and narrow valley, alluvial fans, tunnel crossing, and, respectively. The railway alignment encounters glaciers, snow and rock avalanches, collapses, landslides, outburst floods and debris flows. There are also many faults, folds and other geological structures together with steep and extensive slopes and long tunnels with a high overburden.
A comprehensive earthquake catalogue for Nepal and its adjoining region
Authors: Rajaure Sudhir , Paudel Lalu Prasad
Published: February 2019

We have prepared a comprehensive earthquake catalogue for Nepal and its adjoining region. The catalogue contains magnitude - homogenized independent earthquakes of magnitude (Mw) between 4.0 and 8.5, which occurred between 1100 AD and 2018 AD. The catalogue contains date, time, latitude, longitude, depth, and magnitude of earthquakes, which are required in the study of seismic activity, tectonics and seismic hazard. Primary earthquake catalogues were collected from the International Seismological Centre (ISC, 2015), United States Geological Survey (USGS), which contain instrumentally recorded earthquake data and date back to 1900 AD. These primary catalogues of instrumentally recorded earthquakes were supplemented by historical earthquakes reported in published literatures, which occurred before 1900 AD. The collected primary catalogues were compiled and processed to develop a comprehensive catalogue. The developed comprehensive catalogue is expected to serve as a basic database for the study of seismic activity and seismic hazard in Nepal and its adjacent area.

The existing body of knowledge in tourism reveals that the trekking trails have global appeal and vast potentials to be established and developed as adventure tourism products cum destinations in world mountain regions. The adventure tourism is as one of the fastest growing sub-sectors of tourism. Today the world’s trail systems play a significant role in adventure tourism for its rapid growth. Such a trend inevitably necessitates a clear guideline (the formulation and application of sustainable trail management approach) not only for establishing trails heritage

as safe, quality accredited (audited) and branded products but also for meeting trail development and maintenance international standards and best practices. Through the review of the literatures on trails and trails management for adventure tourism, participation in the Trail Standards Guidelines (TSG) formulation process for the Great Himalaya Trails (GHT) of Nepal and assessment of Nepal’s trail sites as GHT certified trail auditor by the author; this paper argues that sustainable trail

management is trail destination specific innovative approach. It should be understood and applied through the interaction of local practices with global knowledge and best practices. There is pressing need of clear guidelines at trail destinations. Such guidelines can be easy reference for shared engagements and

benefits of trail communities and enlightening experience of trails users. The discussion concludes with the case study of GHT as an emerging brand for adventure tourism identity of Nepal. GHT strives for sustained and beneficial tourism management system through effective implementation of the TSG by the means of integrated approach.

This paper discusses the concept of tourism and security in Nepal and focuses on the association in between tourism and security aspects. Tourism is important for leisure, business, education, culture and recreation. Tourism industry is a fast developing sector for the economy worldwide and becoming a popular global leisure activity. As a fast growing industry in the today’s world, tourism industry events are getting more attraction for study and appropriate intervention. The key question this paper raises is whether there is association between tourism and security in Nepal. It answers rationally to its prime research questions like; what are the dimensions of tourism and security in Nepal? What is the association in between tourism and security in Nepal? In order to look for the answers of these questions, Thamel area was chosen for study site as it is popular among people and the major tourism hub in Nepal. The findings of the study show varied association in between tourism sector and tourism security sector on the specifics such as tourism, hospitality, events and security in Nepal. Although tourism enterprises increasingly realize the aspects of tourism, hospitality, events management and relevant security parameters, but the extent to which they are strategically used varies. The assessment revealed the impacts of tourism on security aspects and vice versa. So, the impacts of security situation on tourism sector have a certain and intermingled association. Even the findings aligned with above said statement which reflects the limitations and gap in between the tourism sector and tourism security sector in term of setups, coordination and execution. That is why, it roves and looking for the rational, empirical and cognitive improvement and development on those identified aspects which are keenly observed during the research process.

Published: February 2019

Tourism is forefront of many economy but come with negative externalities resulting in diminished environmental quality. In place of these mass tourism practices, different alternative forms of tourism are practiced with aim of enhancing positive externalities while keeping check and balance to negative externalities. Ecotourism is one such approach which is often highlighted as one of the most effective tool to reconcile the conservation and development aspiration. Ecotourism in its

different localized version and their impacts on environment are studied in Nepal. Despite this, ecotourism potential of protected areas is less explored dimension in ecotourism studies. This holds true for the eastern region of the lowland Nepal. Location of destination, features of that destination along with the facilities and uniqueness offered by the place is different which are vital in defining the ecotourism potential of different locations. The study forms the basis for promotion of ecotourism in an area. This paper aims to explore the ecotourism potential of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. There are different tools and approach used to assess the ecotourism potential. This paper contains information collected from field observation, scheduled interview and key informant interview. Wild Water Buffalo, migratory birds along with the presence of other wildlife species make a place attractive destination for ecotourism. Satisfaction shown by the respondents for food, accommodation and hospitality offered adds value to the ecotourism potential. Areas with high scenic and cultural attraction in the vicinity of the park can be considered as positive additionally to attract tourist with diverse interest. As it is considered mandatory to include the component of education and interpretation to qualify as ecotourism, development and execution of the curriculum are essential. Beside this, exploration and marketing of other potential destination and enabling the local communities are equally vital.

Discourses of Volunteer Farm Tourism in Nepal: A Methodological Approach to World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms
Authors: Wengel Yana
Published: February 2019

In this research note, I propose an appropriate methodology to study discourses around the volunteer farm exchange programme World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) in Nepal. WWOOF is an international movement that connects organic farmers and international travellers who wish to exchange their labour for food and accommodation. Previously WWOOF was described as volunteer tourism, alternative tourism or as an alternative to tourism. As a non-profi t exchange programme WWOOF abodes the commercialisation of tourism and attracts long-term international travellers who do not describe themselves as tourists and see WWOOF as a way to explore the destinations off the beaten track. As such, WWOOF members share different philosophy or discourse of travel from commercial farm tourism. Thus, it is essential to understand what drives farm hosts and volunteers to participate in this unique exchange programme in Nepal.

Zaqah Profession, Oil Palm Plants, and Coal
Authors: Maulida Sri
Published: February 2019

In the Qur’an the word ‘zakat’ is repeatedly mentioned, and it is always followed by the word ‘sholat’. It shows that Muslims have obligations not only limited to sholat, but also to zakat. There are many debates about zakat fitrah and zakat mal relating to legal matters and number of zakah. There are also many differences of opinion regarding to zakat profession, oil palm plants, and coal, so that the research needs to be conducted on this topic. It is interesting to be discussed because of the huge potential of oil palm plants and coal in South Kalimantan. In this research, the methods which are used are descriptive, comparative, deductive, and inductive. Based on the discussion in this article, it can be concluded that zakat profession is spesific characteristic of the verse purpose “....the good things which you have earned...” (Al-Baqarah: 267) and “Take alms of their wealth....” (AtTaubah: 103). Moreover, there is also the verse of Al-Baqarah: 267 “...and from that which We have produced for you from the earth....” This verse has spesific purpose from general purpose which is related to zakat of oil palm plants and coal.

Published: February 2019

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of different fertilization ratios on the growth of pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) propagated vegetatively under varying water regimes. The experiment was carried out in a net-house in a completely randomized design with three replicates. The N:P2O5:K2O ratios were applied at six levels: F1 (1:1:1), F2 (1:3:1), F3 (1:1:3), F4 (3:1:1), F5 (3:3:1), and F6 (3:3:3) while soil moisture included three different levels: 30% (W1), 60% (W2), and 100% (W3) field capacity. Water stress conditions were treated from 30-65 days after planting, and then the pots were irrigated to 100% field capacity. The results indicate that drought conditions significantly reduced (P<0.05) the growth of stolons, leaf appearance, number of secondary stolons, and dry matter, while the root/shoot ratio was higher compared to plants under well-watered conditions. There was no significant effect of the fertilization ratios on the number of secondary stolons. Higher-NP and NPK application ratios showed significant influences on the growth of A. pintoi under drought conditions by stimulating stolon lengths and the number of leaves, while the root/shoot ratio was decreased. Higher ratios of single fertilizers (N, P, or K) did not show a consistent effect on the growth of A. pintoi under drought conditions. The results suggest that a higher-NP fertilization ratio stimulates the growth of A. pintoi under both drought and well-irrigated conditions.

Authors: Nguyen Tho Xuan , Nguyen Lan Huynh Phuong
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this study is to test the education quality measurement scale of Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in Vietnam and to explore the relationships between the education quality, satisfaction and loyalty of MBA students. CFA results (sample size: 307) indicate that MBA program’s education quality measurement scale includes five components: (1) Perceived program quality, (2) Perceived quality of life, (3) Perceived quality of lecturing faculty, (4) Perceived quality of academic facilities, and (5) Perceived quality of outcome. SEM results also indicate that education quality and image are important factors that make students satisfied and loyal to a MBA program. In addition, factors as university form (public and private) do not alter the above relationships. Implications for managers and directions for future research are also discussed.
The relationship between macroeconomic factors and stock market volatility: empirical evidence from the Vietnam stock market
Authors: Nguyen Kieu Minh , Nguyen Diep Van
Published: February 2019

The main target of this study is to measure the relationship of macroeconomic factors to the volatility of the stock market in Vietnam (through stock price VN-index). There are four factors including the consumer price index (measure of inflation), the exchange rate of USD/VND and money supply M2. Research shows that the stock price VN-Index has a positive relationship with the money supply M2 and the domestic gold price in long term. On the contrary, it has a negative relationship with the inflation while it does not have any connection to the exchange rate and stock price index. In short term, the current stock price index has proportional to the stock price index last month and inversely proportional to the exchange rate. The estimated speed of adjustment indicates that the Vietnam stock market converges to the equilibrium about 8 months (adjusted approximately 13.04% per month) to reach equilibrium in the long term.
An overview of international scientific publications of Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Tuan Anh
Published: February 2019

By using highly reliable statistical data, this paper qualitatively and quantitatively clarifies the situation of international scientific publications of Vietnam in comparison with that of other countries during more than past 20 years. Other factors related to scienctific research and international cooperations are also mentioned. This paper also analyzes the situation of international publications of the University of Danang in the relation to a number of dosmestic universities. The analysis results show that the number and the quality of international publications of Vietnam are equal to those of other countries which share similar socioeconomic conditions, but have lagged far behind advanced countries. The findings of the paper can be seen as a reliable basis for determining science development strategies in the future.
Simulation of current-voltage characteristics of graphene field effect transistor (GFET)
Authors: Dinh Hien Sy
Published: February 2019

Graphene has been one of the most vigorously studied research materials. We have developed a program for simulation of graphene field effect transistor (GFET). In this work, we use the simulation program to explore the performance of graphene FET. The simple model of the graphene FET is based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method and first is implemented by using graphic user interface of Matlab. The current-voltage characteristics of the GFET and affects of channel materials, gate materials, size of graphene FET, temperature on the characteristics are explored.
Analysing some Characteristics of the Vietnamese Tones produced by Young Vietnamese Australian People (for the Teaching of the Vietnamese language)
Authors: Dao Dich Muc
Published: February 2019

This paper reported a study that acoustically examined the tonal features of Vietnamese language used by the Vietnamese community in Australia. Tones produced by older (n=10) and younger (n=10) Vietnamese Australians residing in Brisbane, Australia, were acoustically examined and compared with those produced by corresponding older (n=10) and younger (n=10) Vietnamese residing in Ho Chi Minh/Can Tho City, Vietnam. The results showed that the main patterns of mispronunciation of tones by the younger Vietnamese in Australia (YVA) include (i) confusing tones which are in the same registers or/and have similar characteristics, (ii) the tendency to pronounce complicated tones as simple tones, and (iii) confusing the diacritics of tones. The results of the frequency of melodic contour of all tones produced by the four groups show significant differences between the YVA group and the other three groups in terms of the frequency and distribution of irregular and common tone contours of each tone, suggesting that the YVA group failed to produce the tones correctly or did not reach the required standard of tone production of contemporary standard Vietnamese. In addition, the results of tone contours showed that the tonal range of the YVA group is narrower than that of the other three groups.
Filial Piety Fulfillment in religious behavior among the Khmer in Southern Vietnam
Authors: Huynh Thu Ngoc
Published: February 2019

Filial piety fulfillment is one human behavior to express his love and gratitude to and pay back his parents for what they have done for him. The behavior is highly respected and clearly manifested in most societies. However, depending on each people’s perceptions, lifestyles and behaviour, their practices of filial piety are different. In this paper, the author attempts to explore the filial piety fulfilment among the Khmer – one relatively densely-populated ethnic people in southern Vietnam in terms of their religious practices. The paper is based on data collected in a two-year project run by the Department of Anthropology (USSH-VNU HCMC). Interpretive approach is applied to analyze and interprete the meanings of the behavior and perception of the people related to the issue of filial piety in order to assess the values of the Khmer in the South in their religious life.
About the transmission of cultural knowledge in teaching Vietnamese to foreign students
Authors: Tran Vinh Thuy
Published: February 2019

This paper discusses the relationship between language and culture, the goals and the approaches to convey culture in language teaching in order to improve linguistic competence and intercultural communicative competence for learners. The paper also presents a number of methods and contents to convey culture in teaching Vietnamese for foreign learners; to clarify the socio-cultural communication information, the typical utterances or behavior patterns which are used in communication as well as cultural features which are reflected in Vietnamese vocabulary; and at higher step to assist students in naturally expressing this sociocultural knowledge in the Vietnamese language.
The Vietnamese Language in some newspaper issues
Authors: Nguyen Pho Van
Published: February 2019

This paper presents some random surveys done by the author on an issue of Tuoi Tre newspaper (March 8, 2010, 20 pages, ads excluded). Results: I collected over 100 sentences and passages (approximately eight A4 pages (font size 12, Times New Roman) which I considered bearing “errors” or “problems”. In general, there are three types of errors: (i) errors of logics or expression, (ii) lexical errors, and (iii) grammatical errors. As a result, we have to raise an alarming issue about the Vietnamese language used in mass media (by journalists), not the one used by teenagers for chatting or texting.
Economic-cultural-social issues of the coastal areas in Southern Vietnam and The Issue of Sustainable Development
Authors: Nguyen Tuyet Thi Yen
Published: February 2019

Economic and socio-cultural issues of 9 coastal provinces and cities in Southern Vietnam were investigated within the framework of sustainability which viewed development as not only fulfilling the needs of current generations but future ones also. At the same time, development had to insure synchronized growth in economics – society – environment according to aims and plans of the region in particular and the whole country in general. Moreover, we approached the issues within theoretical framework of cultural ecology, area studies, ecology and anthropology by applying interdisciplinary methods. For secondary data, we accessed reports from related offices in the provinces and cities, and the national and provinces’ Decisions of sea strategies until 2020. We discovered that the issues of economics, society and culture of the region have always been involved environmental protection, resources preservation and preparation for potential huge damages of climate change which are significant contents and challenges of sustainable development. To solve the problems in the relations between human and physical environment in maritime anthropological perspectives is to solve the relationship between maritime environment and human subsistent activities based on which proper strategies toward sustainable development for the communities may be attained. The problems of aquaculture’s sustainable development in the region are definitely environmental ones which should be taken into account in the provinces’ and cities’ proposing and implementing resource management policies in order for the environment to revive and thus ensure a sustainable living habitat for human.
