In Laos, after the Lao version of perestroika, Chintanakaan Mai, in 1986, for better or worse, rural development and urbanization have progressed, and people?s livelihoods are about to change significantly. Compared to those of the neighboring countries of mainland Southeast Asia, however, many traditional livelihoods such as region-specific/ethnic-specific livelihood complexes, which combined traditional rice farming with a variety of subsistence activities, have been carried over into the present in Laos. The biggest challenge this book presents is to elucidate livelihood strategies of people who cope successfully with both social and environmental changes and to illustrate how to maintain this rich social and natural environment of Laos in the future. The book includes chapters on social, cultural, and natural concerns and on ethnicity, urbanization, and regional development in Laos. All chapters are based on original data from field surveys. These data will greatly contribute not only to local studies in Laos but also to environmental studies in developing countries. 410 0$aAdvances in Asian Human-Environmental Research,$x1879-7180 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a304.2 702 $aYokoyama$b Satoshi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOkamoto$b Kohei$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTakenaka$b Chisato$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHirota$b Isao$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298376403321 996 $aIntegrated Studies of Social and Natural Environmental Transition in Laos$92510129 997 $aUNINA
