Engaging ethnic minorities in rural water supply project planning in Vietnam

Nguyen, Thuy Linh (2021) Engaging ethnic minorities in rural water supply project planning in Vietnam. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Abstract

This research developed a theoretical framework to better understand the role and influence of social capital in ethnic minority communities, and elucidated how the social capital can promote community participation through social capital changes. In doing so, the research has laid a foundation for better engagement for ethnic minority population using social capital with a view to achieving better project planning and success of rural water supply projects in the developing country context and beyond.

Descriptive scope: 3 PCT

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
