Abstract

Sustainable development has emerged over the past few decades as an important paradigm for community development. In searching for ways to achieve a balance among the social, economic, and ecological health of communities, Western scholars and practitioners concerned with sustainable development have generally given priority to environmentally-oriented frameworks. However, in places with different cultural and political characteristics and material conditions compared to the industrialized West, a human-oriented, social approach to sustainable development can be observed. This article describes and analyzes how sustainable development is being approached using a non- Western, non-environmentally-oriented approach. We present a case study of a mangrove management program in Southern Vietnam to illustrate such a social approach to sustainability - through collaborative efforts among government, quasi-governmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and local communities. We emphasize the role of women in development efforts.
可持续社区发展:来自越南的社会途径
在过去的几十年里,可持续发展成为社区发展的一个重要范例。在寻求在社区的社会、经济和生态健康之间取得平衡的方法时,关注可持续发展的西方学者和实践者通常优先考虑面向环境的框架。然而,与工业化的西方相比,在具有不同文化和政治特征和物质条件的地方,可以观察到以人为本的社会可持续发展方法。这篇文章描述并分析了可持续发展是如何用非西方的、非环境导向的方法来实现的。本文以越南南部的一个红树林管理项目为例,阐述了这种通过政府、准政府组织、非政府组织和当地社区的合作来实现可持续发展的社会方法。我们强调妇女在发展努力中的作用。
