The book addresses the issue of local people adapting to a residential cluster program in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The study reveals that different groups of households have adapted differently to the residential cluster program. Landowners have had a good opportunity to gain in terms of their business, as well as being able to retain their previous livelihood activities on-farm. In contrast, most landless groups have had to change their livelihood activities from on-farm and off-farm to non-farm activities, or diversify their non-farm activities, or most often migrate.
