Remarkable changes in national governments over recent decades have had profound impacts on a wide range of institutions. Although much attention has focused on economic and political systems, nations in transition also have experienced significant changes in human geography, as the factors that influenced the spatial behavior of individuals and groups have been dramatically transformed. These changes are evident even in nations like Vietnam, where communist regimes retain political control, but major economic reforms unleashed a flurry of land-development activity during the 1990s. This doctoral dissertation research project will explore how the Vietnamese government's legal and planning efforts to promote development have impacted the practices of private land developers and the spatial patterns of activity in the urban fringe of Ho Chi Minh City. A combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques will be used to analyze satellite images of land-use change over the last decade and to survey land developers to determine how and why their land-development practices have changed. Special attention will be given to identifying and analyzing the impact of state policies on land-development processes. Because development patterns have been far more scattered and irregular than planners had anticipated, it is anticipated that the direct role of state action will be less significant than intended, but the role of state-sanctioned property rights may still be found to be important in creating a framework within which individuals and groups can operate independently with greater confidence. This project will provide valuable new insights and information about the contemporary spatial dynamics of Vietnam, a nation that receives relatively little scholarly attention. The project will contribute empirical evidence to ongoing debates in the scholarly literature regarding the impacts of property rights and land titles on land development in developing nations, and it will shed new insights about the motivations and actions of private entrepreneurs in transitional societies. As a Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement award, this award also will provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong independent research career.

近几十年来，各国政府的显著变化对各种机构产生了深远的影响。 虽然人们的注意力主要集中在经济和政治制度上，但转型国家也经历了人文地理的重大变化，因为影响个人和群体空间行为的因素发生了巨大变化。 这些变化甚至在越南这样的国家也很明显，在那里，共产主义政权保持着政治控制，但重大的经济改革在20世纪90年代释放了一系列土地开发活动。 本博士论文研究项目将探讨越南政府的法律的和规划的努力，以促进发展如何影响私人土地开发商的做法和活动的空间模式在城市边缘的胡志明市。 将采用定量和定性相结合的技术来分析过去十年土地使用变化的卫星图像，并对土地开发商进行调查，以确定他们的土地开发做法如何以及为什么发生了变化。 将特别注意查明和分析国家政策对土地开发进程的影响。 由于发展模式远比规划者预期的更加分散和不规则，预计国家行动的直接作用将不如预期的那么重要，但国家批准的财产权的作用可能仍然很重要，有助于建立一个框架，使个人和团体能够更有信心地独立运作。 该项目将提供有关越南当代空间动态的有价值的新见解和信息，越南是一个相对较少受到学术关注的国家。 该项目将为学术文献中关于财产权和土地所有权对发展中国家土地开发的影响的持续辩论提供经验证据，并将对转型社会中私营企业家的动机和行动提出新的见解。 作为博士论文研究改进奖，该奖项还将提供支持，使有前途的学生建立一个强大的独立的研究生涯。
