Tóm tắt tiếng anh
fall in the wet season, soft alluvial soils, extraction of sand from the Mekong River, and increasing river traffic are all factors contributing to riverbank erosion and landslides. Whereas, rising tides, strong waves, deforestation of coastal areas, and reduced sediment transport from upstream in the Mekong River (due to upstream dam construction) are the main factors contributing to coastal erosion. This paper will discuss causes, property damage and impacts on livelihoods caused by these disasters as well as the government’s solutions and people’s attitude to cope with them. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020.
