Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen An Thinh is the author of the Chapter of The Geography of Climate Change Adaptation in the Vietnam Northern Mountains: A Quantitative Analysis for Intentions of Indigenous Ethnic Minorities Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT)

The Chapter talks about results of applied research combined with SEM and PMT to the intention of the community in climate change adaptation in Van Chan District, Yen Bai Province. The questionnaire was carried out with 243 inhabitants under topics: risk awareness, trust, subjective norm, adaptive assessment, production habits and adaptive intention. 500 samples of bootstrap were selected at random to calculate coefficients and standard errors. Structural models of climate change adaptation intentions for the district level and 4 ethnic communities of Kinh, Thai, Tay, and Mong were built.

The study result suggests that these communities are more concerned with the effectiveness of adaptation actions to improve resilience after disasters. The intention does not depend much on the perceived risks of climate change impacts. Analysis of multi-group structure shows the different results among ethnic groups
