Outline of Final Research Achievements	This project aims to propose livelihood modelling for ideal future through understanding current livelihood situation at several villages in mountainous areas of central Vietnam. Acacia plantation have been dominant and encroaching other land uses, and then residents’ livelihood become mono-cultural one. Accordingly, they are losing their resilience in livelihood. Through a lot of field surveys, we detected historically continued livelihoods and clarified their great contributions to their lives and sustainability. Supports by outsiders like central government often debilitate such existing livelihoods. Thus, we pointed out that it is import to keep up variety of livelihood structure by appropriate supports and sustain existing livelihood.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	Future Earthの枠組みにおけるCo-Design，Co-Productionを実践し，「超学際」のケーススタディを示すことができた。都市化の影響を甘受する前提で，その地域にある資源を最適に活かした，現実的な生業モデルを提案することができた。この生業モデルにより，具体的に生業の多様性の保持，換金作物の必要割合，食料自給率の向上等が当該地域の人口規模や地域資源と連動した形で考えられることが示された。これらの成果は，現地の大学の若手研究者とも共有することができた。都市と農村の経済的格差が発生している他の様々な国や地域での応用可能性も高いと考えられ，今後の発展も期待できる。
