Construction of way/methodology to identify public perceptions, beliefs, values towards biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods. 3. Identification and mapping of the areas vulnerable –Natural science criteria. –Socio-economic, legal and political –Cultural-spiritual point of view 4. The construction of a GIS vulnerability data base

36. Overall strategy of LiveDiverse 5. The identification of the biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods ‘hot-spots –a high risk (according to the natural science criteria) –and a low capability to manage those risks (according to the socio-economic, cultural-spiritual and political criteria). 6.

Water for energy Low level of transboundary coop High level of trans- boundary cooperation Water for food and fish production Sesan River, Vietnam-Cambodia Development of farming/fishing in Vietnam Joint development of HEP Business as usual HEP development in Vietnam Problems with fishing and farming in Cambodia Joint development of fish production Info sharing on water release Development of common energy grid Improved environmental flow

43. Socio-economic data (36 documents): Access to piped water by municipality Access to telephone by municipality Age groups by municipality Age of head of household by municipality Area type by municipality Citizenship by municipality Country of birth by municipality Disability by municipality Economic active population by municipality Economic sector by municipality Employment status Energy source for cooking by municipality Energy source for heating by municipality Energy source for lighting by municipality Gender of head of household by municipality Highest level of education by municipality Highest level of education grouped by municipality Household income by municipality Household size by municipality

44. What are the central issues of the Livelihoods and Biodiversity Interface in our case areas? 1. Agricultural systems and size/mix of production units 2.Competition over water (and HEP dams) 3. Size and type of rural communities 4. Alternative forms of livelihoods 5. Legal and policy systems and institutions 6.Human settlements in and around protected areas 7.Ability to interact with governance systems 8.Cultural and spiritual traditions
