Livelihood Transformation and the Role of Heritage Education in the Core Zone of the Trang An Landscape Complex, Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam
Abstract: This study examines livelihood transformation and the role of heritage education in the Trang An Landscape Complex under rapid tourism development. Using a mixed-methods approach combining secondary data and a survey of 70 households, the study identifies a significant transition from agriculture-based livelihoods to tourism-oriented activities, with 87.1% of households engaged in tourism. While tourism increases income, it introduces seasonality and market dependency. The results reveal a mismatch between rapid economic adaptation and slower cognitive change, as most residents possess only basic awareness of heritage values. Heritage education improves awareness and conservation attitudes but has limited influence on behavior and livelihood decisions due to weak integration with local practices. The study highlights heritage education as a mediating mechanism linking perception and livelihood strategies and proposes an integrated approach to strengthen sustainable community-based heritage management.
