Published: March 2022

Warna tradisi telah wujud melalui beberapa penceritaan mitos berdasarkan peristiwa yang berlaku pada zaman dahulu dan diturunkan secara lisan. Pewarnaan alam iaitu bersumberkan alam semula jadi telah dipergiatkan dalam kalangan etnik di Sabah khususnya dalam kraf tangan. Justeru, pelbagai metode dan campuran bahan alam diadunkan bagi menghasilkan pelbagai warna mengikut tempat dan etnik yang mendukungnya. Objektif kajian ini tertumpu kepada eksplorasi tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berpontensi dalam penghasilan warna dalam kegiatan batik di Sabah. Dalam penyelidikan ini, eksperimentasi dilakukan secara sistematik yang melibatkan proses awal sehingga akhir untuk mendapatkan eksperimen warna. Bahan-bahan dalam eksperimen ini melibatkan tekstil, bahan alam dan bahan penguncian (pemati) warna. Eksperimen ini melalui tiga tahap, iaitu bermula dengan proses mordanting, mengekstrak bahan alam dan penguncian warna (fixing). Penyelidik seterusnya menjalankan uji kaji terhadap zat warna tumbuhan terhadap kesan warna yang terhasil pada tesktil (kain). Bahan penguncian (pemati) warna yang digunakan adalah seperti tawas (Al2SO4), tunjung (FeSO4) kapur (CaCO3), sodium silicate, daun betik dan limau nipis. Penyelidikan melalui Research and Development (R&D) diusahakan untuk membantu penyelidik dan penggiat seni agar mengetahui sejauh mana tahap kualiti warna alami dalam kajian ini dapat dijadikan produk yang berpotensi dalam bidang pewarnaan.

KENAIKAN DAN KEJATUHAN PARTI-PARTI BERLANDASKAN ISLAM DI TURKI, 1970 â€“ 2002
Authors: Sulaiman Mashitah , Othman Mohammad Redzuan
Published: March 2022

Peningkatan sokongan dan pengharaman Milli Nizam Partisi (MNP), Milli Selamat Partisi (MSP), Refah Partisi (RP) dan Fazilet Partisi (FP) adalah antara episod yang memperlihatkan pertembungan antara Islam dan kepimpinan sedia ada di Turki, apabila parti-parti ini dilihat mampu menggugat kedudukan sekularisme dan status quo pihak tentera yang menjadi penjaga kepada prinsip Kemalisme, peninggalan Mustapha Kemal Ataturk. Artikel ini menganalisis fenomena kenaikan dan kejatuhan parti-parti yang berlandaskan Islam di Turki, dari tahun 1970-an sehingga tahun 2002 dalam usaha mengembalikan amalan hidup secara Islam dan memartabatkan politik serta pemerintahan berlandaskan Islam di Turki. Tulisan ini juga turut mengupas latar belakang peribadi dan peranan yang dimainkan oleh Necmettin Erbakan dalam mencorakkan perjalanan politik Islam di Turki. Turut diberi perhatian ialah fenomena kemunculan dua parti yang berasal dari serpihan parti-parti yang pernah diharamkan dalam memberi nafas baharu kepada seruan terhadap Islam. Saadet Partisi (SP) ditubuhkan oleh Necmettin Erbakan meneruskan perjuangan kumpulan konservatif Islam, manakala Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, (AKP) yang dipimpin oleh Recep Tayyip Erdogan menonjolkan pendekatan pragmatis dan sederhana bagi mengelakkan pertentangan dengan pihak kepimpinan sekular. Berbanding pendekatan SP yang kurang disenangi dan semakin merosot, AKP berjaya menjadi sebuah parti yang mewakili suara majoriti rakyat Turki. Penyertaan AKP dalam arus perdana politik di negara itu membuktikan bahawa politik Islam mampu berjalan seiring dengan demokrasi apabila sistem tersebut diamalkan dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.

Isu Pemilikan Wilayah Pantai Timur Sabah: Satu Penelusuran Daripada Sudut Sumber Sejarah
Authors: Joko Eko Prayitno
Published: March 2022

Trouillot menyatakan permainan kekuasaan dalam penyusunan ceritacerita alternatif diawali dengan penciptaan fakta mahupun sumber sejarah (1995). Keadaan ini disebabkan penghasilan sesuatu penulisan sejarah sangat bergantung harap kepada keberadaan sumber-sumber institusional yang dikendalikan oleh negara, sama ada pada era kolonial mahupun semasa pascakolonial. Hasilnya, sesuatu peristiwa itu dapat dilihat dalam dua dimensi yang berbeza, iaitu sejarah tentang â€˜apa yang terjadiâ€™ dan â€˜apa yang dikatakan terjadi.â€™ Perkara ini jelas terlihat apabila kita menelusuri sejarah penyerahan wilayah utara Borneo daripada Kesultanan Brunei kepada Kesultanan Sulu yang sememangnya jarang ditekankan dalam penulisan sejarah Sabah. Walhal, peristiwa ini memainkan peranan penting dalam konteks pembentukan geopolitik moden Sabah. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak mudah merungkaikan secara tepat berkenaan peristiwa yang terjadi memandangkan Kesultanan Brunei acapkali menafikan berlakunya penyerahan wilayah utara Borneo kepada Kesultanan Sulu (Tarsilah Brunei II: 1997). Pada masa yang sama pula, Kesultanan Sulu tetap dengan pendirian mereka bahawa telah berlakunya penyerahan tersebut bersandarkan Perjanjian 1878 antara Overbeck dengan Sultan Jamal Al-Alam (Graham Irwin: 1986). Justeru, penulisan ini bukan bertujuan untuk memberikan jawapan kebenaran berkenaan penyerahan wilayah utara Borneo kepada Kesultanan Sulu, sebaliknya hanya menampilkan sumber-sumber sedia ada yang merangkumi penulisan Barat, Kesultanan Sulu, Kesultanan Brunei dan Kesultanan Bulungan.
 
Trouillot had percepted ‘the game of power in the arrangement of alternative stories began with the creation of facts and/or historical source’ (1995). This condition is caused by a creation of certain historical writings which is very dependent with the whereabout of institutional sources handled by a country, either from the colonial era or post-colonial. For the result, certain event can be perceived in two different dimensions; history about ‘what happens’ and ‘what is said had happened’. This matter is obviously stated when we went down the history of the capitulation of the northern region of Borneo by the Brunei Sultanate to the Sulu Sultanate, which is rarely pressed in the writings of the history of Sabah. Although, the event plays an important role in the context of the formation of modern geo-politics of Sabah. However, it is not easy to precisely elaborate about the actual event considering the Brunei Sultanate often denied the occurrence of capitulation of the northern region of Borneo to the Sulu Sultanate (Tarsilah Brunei II; 1997). At the same time, the cession is based on agreement 1878 between Overbeck and Sultan Jamal Al-Alam (Graham Irwin; 1986). Moreover, the making of this writing is not to give the true answer about the capitulation of the northern region of Borneo to the Sulu Sultanate, but only to present the current sources which include the Western, Sulu Sultanate, Brunei Sultanate and Bulungan Sultanate writings.

ESTIMATING THE IMPACTS OF CHANGES IN R&D AND FDI ON THE CHANGES IN COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: THE CASE OF ASEANÂ­5 MANUFACTURING EXPORTS 1991â€“2013
Authors: Aida Noh Noor , Azman Aziz Mukhriz Izraf , Hock Eam Lim
Published: March 2022

Abstract

There are extensive studies available identifying the determinants of comparative advantage including in the ASEANÂ­5 countries. However, knowing only the determinants of comparative advantage is not sufficient as the determinants of changes in comparative advantage also need to be identified. Different or similar drivers may be involved in the changes in comparative advantage. From the perspective of changes in comparative advantage, further insights can be obtained since it is largely ignored in the previous studies. This paper analyses the changes of comparative advantage on ASEANÂ­5 manufacturing exports over the period from 1991 to 2013 using Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) index for manufacturing export commodities at the three-digit level of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). There are 215 commodities covering all the ASEANÂ­5â€™ manufactured goods. Results revealed significant effects of changes R&D and FDI on the changes of comparative advantage in the ASEANÂ­5. It was shown that R&D and FDI are important in increasing the comparative advantage of manufacturing commodities. These findings incur important policy implications that include helping the identification of product specialisation for enhancing competitiveness and promoting economic growth.
MEDIATING EFFECT OF COMMUNICATION ETHICS PRACTISED ON WORK ETHICS RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA USE, MOTIVES FOR USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET SURFING ETIQUETTE
Authors: Abdul Rahman Mahfuzah , Wok Saodah
Published: March 2022

AbstractSocial media is a medium of communication nowadays. In fact, the accessibility of the internet at the workplace makes it is easier for the users to use it either positively or negatively. Hence, this study tests the relationship between social media use, motives for using social media, Internet surfing etiquette, work ethics, and communication ethics. The Utilitarian Theory is used to see the benefits gained by the employees in terms of social media use at the workplace. This study applies the quantitative research design where a selfÂ­administered survey questionnaire is used as the instrument for data collection. Based on a sample of 344 respondents among the administrative staff of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), the findings indicate that all variables are positively correlated with one another. Communication ethics fully mediates the relationship between social media use and motives for using social media towards work ethics. Communication ethics only partially mediates the relationship between internet surfing etiquette and work ethics. Therefore, communication ethics mediates the relationship between social media use, motives for using social media and internet surfing etiquette towards work ethics.

ARTIFAK BUDAYA MASYARAKAT IBAN: WARISAN DAN PUSAKA
Authors: KIYAI @ KEAI GREGORY , TUGANG NORIA
Published: March 2022

Masyarakat Iban di Sarawak kaya dengan pelbagai warisan dan budaya yang diwarisi sejak zaman-berzaman oleh nenek moyang mereka. Kebudayaan Iban terdiri dari dua aspek yang berbeza iaitu ‘Warisan’ dan ‘Pusaka’. Warisan adalah merujuk kepada kemahiran tradisi, kepercayaan dan estetika seni dalam budaya yang ditinggalkan oleh Petara (Tuhan) kepada masyarakat Iban, manakala Pusaka adalah lebih kepada pemilikan individu dan bersifat materialistik semata. Namun demikian, kedua-dua elemen ini mempunyai signifikan yang sangat penting dalam budaya Iban hingga hari ini. Makalah ini memfokuskan kepada artifak budaya masyarakat Iban dan mengklasifikasikan terma warisan dan pusaka. Kaedah penyelidikan kualitatif, iaitu kolektif memori dan temu bual bersama pakar budaya Iban digunakan sebagai metode utama kajian.
The Iban in Sarawak is abundantly rich with various heritage and cultures inherited from their ancestors. The Iban’s culture stands from two aspects which is Heritage and Heirloom. Heritage refers to the local skills, belief and aesthetic bestowed by the Petara (God) to the Iban. While Heirloom is the materialistic belongs to an individual. However, these two elements have great significance in Iban’s culture until today. This paper emphasizes on the cultural artefacts of the Iban and classified them into either Heritage and Heirloom. This research using a qualitative method which is a collective memory and interview with the expert in Iban culture.
PEMIKIRAN PROPAGANDIKAL SYIAH IMAMIAH: RESENSI KRITIS TERHADAP “SYIAH SEBENAR-BENARNYA AHLU SUNAH NABI” KARYA PROFESOR DR. MUHAMMAD TIJANI AS-SAMAWI
Authors: Achie Nordi
Published: March 2022

Makalah ini bertujuan menilai semula pemikiran propagandikal Profesor Dr. Muhammad Tijani as-Samawi, menerusi karyanya, Syiah Sebenar-Benarnya Ahlu Sunah Nabi (2007). Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis tekstual (kritikan dokumentatif). Perlu dinyatakan, dalam perkembangan pengaruh Syiah Imamiah di Nusantara, buku ini dinilai penting selepas Dialog Sunnah Syi’ah, Mengapa Aku Memilih Ahlul Bait? dan Akhirnya Kutemukan Kebenaran. Menerusi karyanya ini, at-Tijani membangkitkan pelbagai isu dan persoalan kontroversial tentang Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah (ASWJ) dan Syiah Imamiah (SI). Sasaran at-Tijani ialah sahabat Rasulullah (SAW), tokoh ulama dan pemikiran ASWJ. Menerusi kritikan terhadapnya, kita dapat memaparkan beberapa kelemahannya. Persoalannya, apakah pemikirannya berlunaskan prinsip dan praktik kesarjanaan? Setakat manakah pentafsirannya dapat bersifat ilmiah? Adakah pemikirannya memberikan sumbangan penting terhadap cita-cita murni pendekatan antara mazhab (taqarib al-mazahib)? Dalam proses menilai semula pemikiran at-Tijani, kita tidak memihak kepada mana-mana mazhab kerana setiap sarjana berperanan untuk mencari kebenaran hakiki, bukannya mempertahankan sentimen kemazhaban. Untuk menjelaskan kritikan terhadap pemikiran at-Tijani, kita menggarapnya berdasarkan isi-isi tertentu (Penilaian 1, Penilaian 2 dan selanjutnya).This article is intended to re-evaluate Professor Dr. Muhammad Tijani as-Samawi propaganda thinking through his work, “Shia is the real Ahlu Sunah Nabi (2007)”. This study employs textual analysis as a method (critique documentation). It should be noted, in the development of Shia Imami influence in the Malay Archipelago, this book is critically important after “Dialogue between the Shi’ite-Sunah: Why I Choose the Ahlul Bait?” and “At last I Found the Truth”. In his work, at-Tijani raises several controversial issues and contradictory questions to the Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah (ASWJ) and the Shia Imamiyah members (SI). His work specifically targeted the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), scholars and ASWJ thinkers. In this paper, the author identifies and reveal some the underlying weakness of his book. The question is, does the basics of his thinking is based on the principles and practices of scholarship? To what extent his interpretation and moral judgement can be held accountable? Does his thoughts contribute to his pure ambition of taqarib al-mazahib? In the process of re-evaluating at-Tijani thinking, the present author did not favor of any sect because it believes that every scholar plays a role to seek the truth instead of preserving “the truth sect”. To explain the criticism of at-Tijani thinking, the present author works on the specific content (Assessment 1, Assessment 2 and so on).
REFRAMING INDIGENOUS FARMING IN THE AGE OF NEOLIBERAL AGRARIAN CHANGE: LESSONS FROM SABAH, MALAYSIA
Authors: SUADIK MAINE , K. SHRESTHA KRISHNA
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the influence of neoliberal agricultural policy on the changes in agricultural practices amongst the indigenous farmers in Kota Belud, Sabah, Malaysia. As the main rice-producing area in Sabah, the agriculture sector in Kota Belud is significantly changing. However, why such changes have occurred and what do these changes mean to the practices of indigenous farmers are largely unknown. Based on semi-structured and in-depth interviews with farmers and local leaders in Kampung Piasau, Kota Belud, this paper demonstrates the main factors identified as having the greatest impact on the agricultural sector in Kota Belud. The influence of privatisation and free-market economy has brought about modernisation in the farming sector, leading to the erosion of collective values and social capital that farmers have long practised. This influence also has promoted the notion of neoliberal policies that 'modern' society and agriculture are more rational than indigenous agricultural practices, a rationale that is built around 'western' logic rather than tradition. However, research findings do not fully support this notion as some informants expressed strong confidence towards the need to revitalise traditional farming practices in paddy cultivation activities, although many of them are no longer practised. Overall, the influence of neoliberal agricultural policy has brought significant changes to the farming community in Kota Belud. Some are desired, and some are less desired changes, but all affect the process and purpose of agrarian change.

Authors: SITI YASMIN BADRUM  , MOHAMMAD TAHIR BIN MAPA
Published: March 2022

Information on the citizen’s knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) level is critical as educational diagnosis and guideline prior to implementation of publicly funded programs and policies. Essentially, the citizen’s perception on the effectiveness of the solid waste management programs and policies are also imperative. This research studied the KAP level of 113 respondents in Hubah Village, Penampang and most respondents have excellent levels of KAP. Gender of the respondents were found to be significantly related to their knowledge level, and both their attitude and practice was significantly correlated with their education level using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Spearman Rho test also reveals that knowledge and attitude has positive correlation with each other. Subsequently, the study explored on the respondents’ opinion and perception on solid waste management programs implemented locally. It was found out that 74.3 per cent of the respondents stated that the provision of waste management services is generally inadequate. Another 75.2 per cent said that the communication tools needed improvement to increase citizen participation in solid waste management programs. 78.8 per cent of the respondents also agreed that education and awareness programs should be inclusive to all levels of society and not only targeting certain groups as what have been done previously. 54 per cent of the citizen wanted an improvement in the accessibility of officers and policy makers regarding issues on solid waste management, and 51.3 per cent agreed that technology should be optimized to ensure acceptance and participation in solid waste management programs from the citizen could be improved.

Published: March 2022

The inventory of tree species and their enthno-medico-botanical information was carried out to document species richness and provide the first comprehensive checklist of trees in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam campus, Anambra State, Nigeria. The checklist presents the species in botanical and local names, families, origin, habit and their ecological status. Results showed that 45 trees species of ethnomedicinal values with a total frequency of 695 belonging to 40 genera in 25 families were identified and documented to cure about 50 health disorders. Elaeis guineensis had the highest occurrence and Fabaceae family recorded the highest number of species (5) while 16 families were found to have 1 species each. Leaf had the highest frequency (31.93%) in plants part used for medicinal purposes while whole plant, fruit water/juice, wood and shell were the least (0.84%). Sixty per cent (60%) of all the species are exotic while (40%) are indigenous to Nigeria and West Africa. One species (Delonix regia) according to IUCN redlist is vulnerable. University management should intensify efforts towards planting more trees and protection of the existing ones. Avenue planting, establishment of botanical gardens and tree plantations within the area is highly recommended.
О НЕОБХОДИМОСТИ БИЛИНГВАЛЬНОГО ЯЗЫКОВОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ В СВЕТЕ ИДЕЙ МЕЖКУЛЬТУРНОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ / ON THE NEED FOR BILINGUAL LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN THE LIGHT OF THE IDEAS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: TATKALO NINA , SARGSYAN INNA
Published: March 2022

Based on the results obtained in the course of the study, the following
conclusion can be drawn: for modern language education, interdisciplinary
integration, multilevelness, variability and orientation to the intercultural
aspect of language acquisition are necessary.
On the one hand bilingual language education is the best means for
learning the native language and on the other – for its philosophical
overcoming and for the development of dialectical thinking.
According to many experts it is quite possible to master the native
language - that is to evaluate all its capabilities - only by studying a foreign
language. Nothing can be known without comparison and the unity of
language and thought does not allow us to separate thought from the ways of
its expression. Bilingual language education gives us this opportunity helping
to discover a variety of means of expression both in a foreign language and in
our native language and also gives us the opportunity to successfully solve
issues of intercultural communication.

The effect of heat therapy on post-dry needling soreness in the deltoid muscle of asymptomatic subjects
Authors:   , Govender Merissa
Published: March 2022

Background: Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a condition characterized by the development of hyperirritable foci in muscle. Treatments include modalities such as cryotherapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound, ischeamic compression and dry-needling, the latter of which is reported to be the most effective. A side-effect of dry-needling is post-needling soreness which results from bleeding in the area of needle insertion. The application of heat as a therapy to an injured area has been reported to decrease pain by blocking nociceptors, decreasing muscle spasm, and increasing connective tissue extensibility. Objectives: To determine the relative effectiveness of heat therapy immediately after dry-needling versus dry-needling alone on post-needling soreness in the deltoid muscle of asymptomatic subjects. This was done in terms of subjective and objective clinical findings. Methodology: This study was designed as a randomised, parallel-controlled clinicaltrial. Thirty asymptomatic subjects were used. Each subject acted as their own control in that both the left and right arms of each subject were dry-needled. One of the arms received heat therapy after the dry-needling procedure while the other arm acted as a control. Algometer readings, a Numerical Pain Rating Scale-101 (NRS- 101) and a 24 Hour Pain Diary were used as assessment tools. Algometer and NRS-101 readings were taken before and after the dry-needling procedure and during the 24 hour follow up visit. Subjects used a 24 hour pain diary which was filled out at 3 hour intervals, to record the development of post-needling soreness. Independent samples t-test and Pearson’s chi square test were used to compare age and gender between the treatment groups. Repeated measures ANOVA testing was used to compare the effect of heat treatment with no heat treatment in the 60 arms over the three time periods of assessment for the outcomes which were 4 5 measured as continuous variables (NRS-101 and algometer). For binary outcomes such as the presence or absence of pain at any time point, Fisher’s exact tests were used to compare the heat treated with the control arms in the left and right arms separately. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Both the objective and subjective measurements from the heat intervention and control groups revealed the development of post-needling soreness. There was a slight trend of heat therapy decreasing post-needling soreness in terms of subjective (NRS-101 and pain diary) and objective (algometer) findings which was however, not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Although the results of the study revealed no statistical evidence of a beneficial effect of heat therapy on objective or subjective findings clinical significance could not be excluded due to the observed trend of heat therapy decreasing post-needling soreness in terms of subjective (NRS-101 and pain diary) and objective (algometer) findings. Further investigation is recommended.
The effect of Kinesio ª taping space-correction-technique on post-needling soreness in the trapezius muscle trigger point two
Authors:   , Zuidewind Mark
Published: March 2022

Dry needling (DN) fanning technique is an effective treatment for myofascial trigger points (MTP), however, it causes swelling and intramuscular haemorrhage which results in post-needling soreness (PNS). Kinesio ® taping space-correction-technique (KTSCT) is claimed to aid in reducing pain by decreasing inflammation, increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage. This in theory indicates that Kinesio ® taping could reduce/alleviate PNS pain after DN. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of KTSCT utilizing Kinesio ® Tex Gold tape in reducing the level of PNS associated with DN a trapezius muscle trigger point two. Method: Forty five patients with active trapezius muscle MTP two were randomly allocated into one of three treatment groups. All groups received a standardized DN treatment. Thereafter, group one received no further treatment and acted as the control group, group two received an application of KTSCT utilizing Kinesio ® Tex Gold tape, while group three received a non-proprioceptive hypoallergenic tape application. Assessments were made pre-, post-treatment and at a follow-up consultation on the following day once the taping application was removed. Assessments included numerical pain rating scale-101 (NRS-101), a pain diary and algometer readings. Results: Group three showed an improvement over the control group, however, it was not a statistically significant improvement in any of the assessments. Group two showed statistically significant improvement over the control in the pain diary and algometer readings overall. Results from the NRS-101, showed that group two had a statistically significant improvement when compared to the control group over the time interval when the Kinesio ® Tex Gold tape was applied to the patient. Conclusion: KTSCT utilizing Kinesio ® Tex Gold tape had a greater effect in reducing the level of PNS associated with DN a trapezius muscle trigger point two, when compared with either a non-proprioceptive hypoallergenic tape application or a control group.

Impact of saltwater intrusion on relation to fruit growing households in Ben Tre, Vietnam
Authors: Truc Ngo Thi Thanh , Thuc Le Vinh
Published: March 2022

Purpose. Saltwater intrusion affected seriously the livelihood of mangosteen growers in Ben Tre, a coastal province in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta in 2016. This study assesses how saltwater intrusion influenced the livelihood vulnerability of the mangosteen households and communities.

Methodology / approach. This study used the United Nations’ Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) and a similar index from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) using data from 196 interviewed mangosteen growers in Cho Lach district, Ben Tre province in 2016 and 2018. A total of twenty-five (25) indicators are applied to calculate the two indices, using data as exposure to saltwater intrusion and natural hazards (5), socio-demographic factors (11), and sensitivity of health, finance, and source of water for domestic use (9).

Results. The analysis results show that mangosteen-growing households had a medium vulnerability in 2016 and 2018 based on both indices. However, they were extremely vulnerable due to saltwater intrusion in 2016, and a high household percentage had a moderate value in the vulnerability index. They did not experience how to respond to saltwater intrusion and received a late warning on saltwater intrusion from the local authorities and media. However, mangosteen-growing households had a quick adaptive behavior to shift to new crops to improve their income in 2018.

Originality / scientific novelty. The study provides a set of indicators to assess the vulnerability of this low-vulnerable area based on past studies as well as the actual situation of the study area in 2016 and 2018 to determine what factors influenced the main components, LVI and LVI – IPCC. These indicators represented the characteristics of the rural households in Vietnam and other Asian countries. This research also indicated how LVI and LVI – IPCC results differently and when they should be used. The analysis identified the factors influencing the LVI and LVI – IPCC by levels of saltwater intrusion in different years of 2016 and 2018, two different severe and less severe sites, adaptive and non-adaptive households, and their interaction.

Practical value / implications. LVI and LVI-IPCC are good indicators for local and regional assessments on how saltwater intrusion and natural hazards affect households’ and communities’ livelihood and thereby how to guide them to respond promptly in such cases.
