This study aimed to estimate the households’ willingness-to-pay for wastewater treatment in selected traditional agro-food processing villages in Nhue-Day River Basin, Vietnam. A pilot Choice Experiment (CE) technique in Choice Modelling (CM) approach was applied for this study with 267 selected agro-food processing households by using the conditional logit (CL) and random parameter logit (RPL) models. The results showed that total annual environmental fee for wastewater treatment from agro-food processing households is estimated as 1089 million VND (equal to US$47,868 per year) for the total of 902 agro-food processing households in three research sites in Nhue-Day River Basin. This estimated budget for wastewater treatment accounted for 55.85% of total annual operation and maintenance costs only. In addition, the technology is improved to enable 90% of treated wastewater. Overall, the results of this study suggest the new wastewater treatment plant construction and improved wastewater collection system by increasing the investment in order to improve the water quality in Nhue-Day River Basin that brings about the reducing environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and human health risks.展开更多

Furthermore,individuals who have acquired a bachelor’s degree are willing to relocate, whereas those who have acquired a master’s degree and above are less willing to relocate. In addition, cities offer a higher pay and better prospects for highly qualified individuals, so mobility seems less likely happen. Moreover,intercity mobility is higher for scientific research institutions than that for other industries. Talents tend to flow from central and western cities to eastern cities. Factors determining intercity talent mobility differ from region to region. Therefore, local governments, especially in central and western cities, should actively conduct research on talent strategies while promoting the construction of the city’s regional economy;formulate scientific policies on talent mobility;promote the reasonable flow of talent;and provide an effective talent pool for urban development.展开更多
