Using data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey, the current study ex-amines factors associated with housing conditions in rural Vietnam. We used both descriptive statistics and regression analyses. Controlling for other factors in the regression models, the study finds that households with better education and occupation were more likely to have larger sizes of housing area per person, higher value of the house and permanent houses. Also, the housing conditions are much better for the Kinh population (the ethnic majority) than that for ethnic minorities. In addition, we find that the opportunities for obtaining better housing outcomes vary largely across regions. Our research findings suggest that improving the access of ethnic minorities to education and better job are expected to improve the housing conditions.

The purpose of this research was to determine how cultural aspects or beliefs of agricultural producers such as collectivism, trust, formality in land titling and productive planning influence the associative work of agricultural productive chains. Considering that for many years productive chains have been promoted as a development alternative for small agricultural producers in the Mantaro Valley, they have received training services, technical assistance, market articulation, etc., but very few remain today. The applied and descriptive research was carried out from July 2016 to May 2017 with the participation of 383 agricultural producers from four provinces of the Mantaro Valley, Junín, Peru. The results obtained show that the factors of trust and productive planning directly influence the associative work, while the aspects of collectivism and formality do not influence.

This research aimed to analyze the influence of the marketing mix on the demand of Thai and foreign tourists along the Mekong Riverside in Nong Khai and Bueng Kan provinces, Thailand that linked to the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), in particular the Vientiane Capital and Bolikhamxay province. Questionnaires were used to collect the data from 410 samples selected by convenience sampling. The data were analyzed via structural equation modeling (SEM) with the WarpPLS 6.0 program. The results showed that the marketing mix comprising product, price, promotion, and process affected the demand of tourists. In consequence, the tourism-related units of Thailand and Lao PDR should focus on a touristic marketing strategy by conserving the standard of the tourist attractions, touristic marketing promotion, and an appropriate price. Moreover, the related stakeholders should become aware of providing services to tourists as means to respond to the demand of Thai and foreign tourists.

The objective of this research was to determine the factors of Visual Merchandising on con-sumers’ purchase decision in retail stores in the districts of El Tambo and Huancayo, 2019. The study was carried out using the quantitative approach including the scientific method (general) and the deductive method (specific). In addition, the non-experimental - transversal - descriptive research design was used. The survey was used as a technique; applying two questionnaires, one for Visual Merchandising and the other for the purchase decision. The study sample was made up of 384 consumers aged between 20 and 60 years who went to retail stores in the districts of El Tambo and Huancayo and they were randomly selected for the application of the instrument. By means of the structural equation model, it was obtained that the organization of the outside of the business (OBA) had a significant influence on the cultural (p ≤ 0.05) and social (p ≤ 0.05) factors of the purchase decision; and a negative relation-ship with personal (p> 0.05) and psychological factors (p> 0.05). Regarding the organization of the interior of the business (OBI), it did not have any positive relationship with the purchase decision of the consumers of the retail stores surveyed (p> 0.05 for H5, H6, H7 and H8), due to the low knowledge that retailers have regarding the organization of the product at the point of sale. The environmental factors of the business (EFB) generated a positive impact on the cultural (p ≤ 0.05), personal (p ≤ 0.05) and psychological (p ≤ 0.05) purchase decision factors. However, they did not generate a positive impact on the social factor (p> 0.05) of the purchase decision (CSPD). It is concluded that the factors (exterior architecture, interior architecture, and atmosphere) of Visual Merchandising determine the purchase decision of consumers from retail stores in the central region of Peru (districts of El Tambo and Huancayo).
