  • Bauxite is the principal raw material to produce alumina. Bauxite mining industry has grown gradually due to the rising demand for alumina. U.S Geological Surveys (USGS 2018) estimates the world's reserves of bauxite roughly 55-75 billion tonnes. Vietnam holds up to 3.7 billion tonnes, the third after Guinea and Australia. Most of bauxite reserves are located in Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands), and have only been minimally mined to date. The approved master plan in 2007 of the Government of Vietnam licenses bauxite mining and alumina production projects in Central Highlands through six projects until 2025. These projects constitute many potentially enormous economic, social and environmental impacts.

  • Vietnam is one of a country with an important strategic position in economic development in the Asia Pacific region. In addition, Vietnam has a longtime agricultural more than 70% of agricultural labor. With favorable natural conditions, agricultural growth in Vietnam is'key'to the developing countries. However, Vietnam's agriculture has still encounter many problems due to drought, climatic conditions, natural disasters. The level of development and agricultural production is weak, the process of post-harvest storage is limited and particularly agricultural competitiveness with other countries is obstacles. In fact, the Government of Vietnam decided to cooperate with other countries have highly developed agriculture such as America, Korea, Japan... hoping to get help and promote agricultural development in a sustainable manner. Since 1992, Vietnam and Korea established formal diplomatic relations. During 20 years of cooperation and development, We have been obtained many satisfactory results not only in fields invest infrastructure, technological science but also exchange experience especially in the agricultural sector. From the Korea ODA project, Vietnam's agriculture in general has made significant progress. With vision, ODA projects continues to support the Central Highlands region in which the Da Lat city, Lam Dong province. Pass the cooperation between Dongguk University and Da Lat University has many positive results. Hopefully in the near future, the relationship between Vietnam and Korea in general will continue to grow strongly, the Korea ODA project will be continue to support Vietnam's agriculture in general and in particularly for the Central Highlands which in Da Lat City, Lam Dong province.

  • Background: Deforestation and degradation are currently affecting the ecosystem services of forests. Among the ecosystem services affected by deforestation and degradation are the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stored in forest soils which have greater impacts in global climate change. This study aimed at examining the amount of SOC and TN in the forest fragments which were separated from the continuous tracts of forests of Jibat and Chillimo through fragmentation processes over four decades. Methods: We have sampled soils from 15 forest fragments of Chillimo and Jibat in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The soil samples obtained in two separate soil depths (0-30 and 30-60 cm) were bulked, dried, and sieved for analysis. Results: Our results have shown that the two sites (Jibat and Chillimo forest fragments) differed in their SOC and TN contents. While the values for Jibat were found to be 29.89 Mg/ha of SOC and 2.84 Mg/ha for TN, it was 14. 06 Mg/ha of SOC and 1.40 Mg/ha for TN for Chillimo. When all forest fragment soil samples were bulked together, Jibat site had twice the value of SOC and TN than Chillimo. When disaggregated on the basis of each fragments, there existed differences in SOC (1.86 Mg/ha and 42.15 Mg/ha) and TN (0.24 Mg/ha and 4.23 Mg/ha) values. Among the forest fragments, fragment four ($F_4$) had the highest Relative Soil Improvement Index (RSII) value of 3826.82% and fragment fifteen ($F_{15}$) had the lowest RSII value (726.87%) which indicated that the former had a better quality of soil properties than the latter. Conclusion: SOC and TN differed across sampled fragments and sites. Variations in soil properties are the reflections of inherent soil parent material, aboveground vegetation, human interferences, and other physical factors. Such differences could be very important for identifying intervention measures for restoration and enhancing ecosystem services of those fragments.

  • Background: Species of the genera Eucalyptus, Cupressus, and Pinus are the most widely planted tree species in the country in general and in Chilimo dry Afromontane forest in particular. Eucalyptus covers 90% of the total planted forest area in the country. However, only limited information exists in the country regarding aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), growth, and yield. This study was conducted to assess the variables on 25 and 30 years of age for three planted species: Cupressus lusitanica, Eucalyptus saligna, and Pinus patula in Chilimo plantation forest, in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. A two-times inventory was conducted in 2012 and 2017. A total of nine square sampled plots of 400 ㎡ each, three plots under Cupressus lusitanica, 3 Eucalyptus saligna, and 3 Pinus patula were used for data collection. Data on height, diameter, soil, and tree stumps were collected. Percent C, % N, and bulk density was performed following chemical procedure. Results: The aboveground biomass ranged from 125.76 to 228.67 t C ha-1 and the basal area and number of stems from 3.76 to 25.50 ㎡ ha-1 and 483 to 1175 N ha-1, respectively. The mean annual basal area and volume increment were between 0.97 and 1.20 ㎡ ha-1 year-1 and 10.79 and 16.22 ㎥ ha-1 year-1. Both carbon and nitrogen stock of the planted forest was non-significant among the tree species. Conclusion: The aboveground biomass, growth, and yield significantly varied among the species. Cupressus lusitanica had the highest aboveground biomass, volume, and basal area, while Eucalyptus saligna had the lowest value. To a depth of 1 m, total carbon stored ranged from 130.13 to 234.26 t C ha-1. The total annual carbon sequestration potential was 12,575.18 t CO2 eq. Eucalyptus has the highest carbon stock density and growth rate than other species.

  • The Se San and Srepok river basins (2S) are the two major tributaries of the Mekong River, both of which originate in the territory of Viet Nam and flow to Cambodia to meet at Stung treng with the Sekong river (originating in Lao PDR) to form the 3S river basin before joining the Mekong mainstream. In the territory of Viet Nam, the 2S river basins are located in the Central Highlands including 5 provinces, arranged by geographical location from north to south namely Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong. This is a region with a very important strategic position in terms of economy, politics and defense for the whole country with many potential advantages for economic development. However, the limited and vulnerable basin water resources are under the pressure of socio-economic development in line with increasing water demands for various sectors. In order to overcome the water management challenges, a long-term water resources planning has conducted to support the 2S River Basin Committee (RBC) in effective planning and operation as part of the WB Mekong-Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Project. This paper introduces the outline and progress of the river basin planning using analytical DSS toolkits to analyze, evaluate and formulate the planning options.

  • Background: The gelada baboon, Theropithecus gelada Ruppell, 1835, is an endemic primate of the central and western highlands of Ethiopia occurring between altitudes of 1800-4400 m. Variability in activity time budget between the two gelada social units, i.e., one-male units (OMUs) and all-male units (AMUs), has not been studied previously. Thus, the present study was an effort to understand intra- and inter-variations in group size and daily activity time budget in gelada baboon OMUs and AMUs at Guassa Community Conservation Area, Central Ethiopia. The instantaneous sampling method was used in the data collection. Results: Both OMU and AMU groups allocated more time for feeding (OMUs = 36.96%; AMUs = 35%) followed by moving (OMU = 25.8%; AMUs = 27%). Grooming was the most frequent social activity in both family groups (OMUs = 8.56%; AMUs = 11.81%). OMUs and AMUs did not show significant variation between themselves in the time budget and temporal distribution of their daily activities. However, the overall variation in the time budget allocated for daily activities within OMUs and AMUs was statistically significant (p < 0.05%). The different age and sex groups in OMUs (i.e., immature, sub-adult females, subordinate males, adult females, and alpha males) showed statistically significant variation in their time budget allocation for the daily activities (p < 0.05) except for feeding and moving. Alpha males had the highest proportion of resting (32.14%) and aggression (31.92%). Immature individuals were responsible for > 90% of the time budget recorded for playing while adult females showed the highest frequency of grooming. Group size of OMUs ranged between 5 and 15 individuals (mean ± SD = 11.25 ± 1.95). Adult females comprised the highest number within OMUs (mean = 4.5) followed by immature individuals (mean = 3). The group size of AMUs ranged from 4 to 8 (mean ± SD = 6.6 ± 1.5). Conclusion: Our results showed that the gelada baboon spent less time on foraging compared to previous studies at the Simien Mountains and Debre-Libanos area. We suggested this variation could be explained based on higher forage quality at Guassa Community Conservation Area resulting from better conservation of the habitat.

  • 베트남이 세계 제2의 커피 생산국으로 도약하는 데에는 닥락(Dak Lak) 성(省)을 포함한 중부고원지대의 농업 발달이 있었으며 그러한 농업 발달에 연안지역에서 내륙고원지대로의 이주가 중요한 역할을 수행하였다. 기존 연구는 이러한 이주의 중요성을 인지하면서 계획 이주와 자발적 이주로 나누어 논의를 전개해 왔다. 하지만 이들 연구는 계획이주와 자발적 이주 간의 연계 관계를 명확히 파악하지 못했으며 이들의 연계 관계가 커피의 생산 현장이라 할 수 있는 꼬뮨 단위에서 차별적으로 구현되었는지 밝히지 못했다. 이에 본 연구는 닥락 성으로의 이주 흐름을 통계자료로 분석하고 Ea H'Ding 꼬뮨과 Doan Ket 꼬뮨을 사례지역으로 선정하여 전문가와의 면담 그리고 농가 설문과 면담을 통해 이주 과정을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 닥락 성 스케일에서 계획 이주가 초기에는 많았다가 점차 감소하였으나, 대신 자발적 이주가 점차 증가하면서 꾸준한 인구 유입이 이루어져 이 지역이 커피 생산지로 발돋움할 수 있었다. 하지만 커피 생산의 구체적 현장이라 할 수 있는 소지역 스케일에서는 계획 이주와 자발적 이주 간 연계 관계가 서로 다른 민족 구성, 정주 시기, 정부 개발 프로그램, 이주민 폭증 시기를 갖는 꼬뮨별로 상이하게 구현되었음이 밝혀져 국지적 맥락의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 관측지점의 위치를 살펴보면 해안으로부터 수영은 약 5m정도이고 해운대는 약 1km정도 떨어져 있다. 하지만 해운대에서의 해풍시작시간이 수영보다 빨리 나타난다. 따라서 국지순환모형인 LCM을 이용하여 수영과 해운대에서 해풍시작시간에 대한 지형의 효과를 수치모의 하였다. 이러한 현상은 야간의 복사냉각에 의해 형성된 흐름에 의한 것으로 분석되었는데, 도심지를 둘러싸고 있는 고지대의 경사면을 따라서 수렴된 공기가 가장 저지대인 수영지역으로 흘러가기 때문에 나타난 것으로 이러한 현상은 일출 후에도 나타난다. AWS자료를 분석한 결과, 수영에서 해운대에 비해 약 3배정도 강한 강풍현상이 나타났는데, 이는 수영지역이 야간공기의 유출구이기 때문이다. 이를 통해 지형조건이 해풍의 시작에 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Background: Gelada baboon is one of the endemic mammals of Ethiopia residing in different highlands. The population structure and habitat use of gelada baboon in Wof-Washa particularly Gosh Meda area was investigated from September 2016 to August 2017. Total counting method was used to collect data on the population status by dividing the study area in to four blocks, namely, Kundi, Arbgebeya, Goshber, and Goshmeda. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The age-sex category and the numbers of geladas found within the different blocks were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and paired t test was also used to analyze the pair wise comparison of the different age and sex categories during both dry and wet seasons. Results: A total of 435 and 471 gelada baboons were counted during the wet and dry seasons, respectively. The maximum group size consisted of 178 individuals whereas the minimum group size contained 53 individuals. Out of the total population adult females accounted for 54.7% in the wet and 54.56% in the dry seasons. There was a significant difference among the age-sex categories in both the wet ($F_{2432}=630$, P < 0.05) and dry ($F_{2468}=696.6$, P < 0.05) seasons. The male to female ratio was 1:5.7 during wet season and 1:5.8 during dry season. So that the population will have a better chance to increase in the study area. Conclusion: Wof-Washa Forest could be a good site for eco-tourism activities due to the presence of endemic animals and its scenic beauty. However, the quality of the habitat is decreasing due to livestock grazing, agricultural expansion, and invasion of exotic plants species. Therefore, appropriate conservation measures should be implemented to conserve gelada baboon in particular and other wildlife resources in general.

  • 세계 커피 시장에서 지속 가능한 커피 인증 프로그램을 적용한 원두 수요는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 글로벌 커피산업의 동향처럼 최근 베트남의 지속 가능한 커피 인증 프로그램 도입이 크게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 베트남의 커피 인증 프로그램은 비나카페라는 단일 국영기업에 의해 주도적으로 도입되고 있다는 점에서 다른 국가의 커피 인증 프로그램과 차별된다. 특히, 비나카페의 폐쇄적 의사결정구조는 베트남의 지속 가능한 인증 커피 프로그램 도입에 따른 경제적 파급 효과에 장애가 되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 비나카페를 사례로 베트남의 지속 가능한 커피 인증 프로그램 도입에 따른 커피산업의 가치사슬의 변화와 그 한계를 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 1)베트남 중부고원지역의 커피산업 성장 과정에서 나타난 비나카페의 역할을 분석하고, 2) 비나카페에 의해 주도된 지속 가능한 커피 인증 프로그램 도입에 따른 변화를 분석하고, 3) 이에 따른 한계점을 고찰하고자 했다. 연구 결과, 비나카페 자회사에 속한 농가는 지속 가능한 커피 생산을 위해 인증 커피의 환경 기준 가이드라인을 준수하면서 기존 일반 커피 생산 비용에서 환경 비용을 추가적으로 지불하며, 비나카페 자회사는 인증 커피 생산 과정에서 발생하는 추가 환경 비용을 농가에 일부 지원한다. 그러나 모기업이 자회사로부터 인증 커피를 일반 커피 가격으로 구매함으로써 자회사는 모기업으로부터 인증 커피에 대한 프리미엄을 보장받지 못했다. 따라서 자회사는 인증 커피 프리미엄에 따른 손실을 상쇄하기 위해 농가에 환경 비용을 다른 형태로 전가함으로써 실질적으로 농가 역시 인증 커피 생산에 따른 프리미엄을 보장 받지 못해 인증 커피 생산에 따른 최종 손실은 농가가 부담해야 하는 결과가 나타났다.
