THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY LAW IN VIETNAM AND EMERGING ISSUES FOR PROPERTY LAW IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The Vietnamese legal system is organized according to the Civil Law model, similar to many countries in this system, such as France, Germany, and Japan. Property law provisions are considered one of the main pillars and are often codified in the Civil Code. After Vietnam reunified in 1975, the country promulgated its first Civil Code in 1995. Subsequently, in 2005, a new Civil Code was enacted to replace the 1995 version. Responding to the demands of practical life, Vietnam issued a new Civil Code in 2015 to replace the previous one, and it is currently in effect. This article focuses on analyzing the development process of property law provisions to highlight the changes in the legislation perception and the practical demands for legal provisions. The article provides an in-depth analysis to argue that Vietnam’s property law should continue to be revised and improved to meet the requirements of sustainable development, an essential demand for all nations in the current era. The article employed historical document analysis..

Law is not only expressed in the sources of law enacted or recognized by the state but also in the combined expressions of legal thinking, legal consciousness and legal culture, which are the legal basis for making decisions of legal significance. Legal thinking as a type of thinking with universality and specificity, considered as a special type of professional thinking that has permeated legal activities and applications in practice, serves as an important mechanism for the formation of the rule of law state. The article will cover the legal thinking and the application of the legal thinking of the legal profession in practice, for example, in legislative activities, the legal thinking of lawmakers is directly related to the quality of legal documents. On the basis of the methodology of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's ideology and the views of the Party and State of Vietnam on the rule of law, traditional legal scientific research methods, as well as the research and selective inheritance of the results of relevant published legal scientific works, the article will focus on in-depth research on legal thinking, theory and application in the legal profession
FACTORS AFFECTING THE DECISION TO USE CREDIT CARDS OF INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS IN HO CHI MINH CITY
The study aims to identify the factors influencing the credit card usage decision of individual customers in Ho Chi Minh City. A quantitative research method was employed, using 234 survey responses collected through a Google Form distributed via social media platforms including facebook and zalo. The data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that five factors have a statistically significant impact on credit card usage decisions, including: (1) perceived usefulness, (2) perceived Risk, (3) perceived Cost, (4) perceived debt, and (5) bank Responsiveness. Among these, perceived usefulness and bank responsiveness exert positive influences, while perceived risk, cost, and debt have negative effects on customers’ credit card usage decisions. Based on the results, the authors propose several managerial implications to support commercial banks in improving their ability to attract and retain customers through enhancing credit card usage decisions among individual customers in Ho Chi Minh City.
MODELING THE FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS' INTENTION TO USE BIKE-SHARING SYSTEM: A THEORETICAL BASIS AND RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
This paper reviews and summarizes existing theories related to students’ intention to use bike-sharing systems. It also analyzes and combines these models to build a more complete theoretical framework.

This model is expected to serve as a foundation for future studies on bike-sharing systems and help guide the development of bike-sharing services and urban transportation systems in Vietnam, especially in the context of growing urbanization and the need for green mobility options.
GROUP SOCIAL WORK ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP VOCABULARY FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AGED 3 TO 4 IN DIEN BIEN PROVINCE
Vocabulary is the system of words within a language. Developing children’s vocabulary aims not only to increase the number of lexical units but also to enhance the diversity of vocabulary in both receptive (understanding) and expressive (speaking) aspects. Vocabulary development is emphasized from a very early age, even before children start speaking. In this context, vocabulary development for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receives even greater attention. One approach utilized by social work practitioners is the implementation of group social work activities. Dien Bien is a poor mountainous province. In addition to the typical challenges of mountainous areas, such as economic hardship, geographical isolation, and limited educational resources, Dien Bien has a significant number of children with autism who require social work support. This article provides an overview of the current situation of group social work activities aimed at developing vocabulary for children with autism aged 3 to 4 in Dien Bien Province. It proposes recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of vocabulary development for these children.
A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL LABOR MIGRATION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FOR VIETNAMESE LABOR
International labor migration is increasingly becoming an important choice for workers amid rapid globalization. Vietnam is an active participant in this process, with its international workforce growing both in number and quality. Migration offers Vietnamese workers opportunities for human development but also exposes them to potential risks. A review of the literature indicates that most studies focus on financial contributions and workplace risks, while opportunities for human development are less explored. The findings serve as a basis for further interdisciplinary research and inform the development of comprehensive policies to support Vietnamese international migrant workers.
SOCIAL WORK IN SUPPORTING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS
After natural disasters, people and communities suffer significant losses in lives, property, and livelihoods, while facing considerable challenges in stabilizing their living conditions. Their primary needs include ensuring safety, medical care, psychological support, food, clean water, temporary shelter, environmental sanitation, housing reconstruction, and livelihood recovery. Support activities involve search and rescue operations, evacuation, emergency relief, medical assistance, psychological counseling, livelihood restoration, and improvement of living environments. Social work plays a crucial role in this process through conducting field work, identifying needs, mobilizing and connecting resources, providing psychological recovery support, assisting in rebuilding lives, and advocating for social policies aimed at reducing risks and enhancing community resilience to disasters
FACTORS INFLUENCING WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN TOURISM ACTIVITIES IN THANH AN COMMUNE, HO CHI MINH CITY
This study investigates factors influencing women’s participation in community-based tourism in Thanh An Island Commune, Ho Chi Minh City, a coastal community undergoing livelihood transitions under ecotourism development. Using a mixed-method design with quantitative surveys of 77 households, 208 women, and 200 tourists and interviews and observations, the research identified two groups of factors. Enabling factors included supplementary economic benefits, policy support, and strong community social capital, while constraining factors included gender stereotypes, dual domestic-economic burdens, limited financial capital, inadequate household infrastructure, and the lack of tourism-related skills. Although women formed the backbone of the service workforce, their participation remains largely confined to direct labor rather than decision-making or resource management. The study outlines four key pathways to enhance women's participation: bolstering institutional and policy frameworks, developing capacity, upgrading infrastructure, and fortifying social capital for more meaningful and enduring involvement
THE FACTORS INFLUENCING CHILD MARRIAGE IN ETHNIC MINORITY AREAS
Child marriage is a difficult issue to solve in the ethnic minority areas due to many complex causes. This study examined the influence of education and harmful gender norms and ethnic customs on child marriage in three areas in Viet Nam. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the results showed a strong and prominent association between education and child marriage of ethnic minority women and men. Specifically, lower educational attainment is associated with a younger age at first marriage, particularly among females and the Hmong. The research findings confirmed the role of education as the most significant factor in delaying the age of marriage for girls. The practical implication is that improving educational opportunities for ethnic minority children will enhance their awareness of child marriage.
SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF INFORMAL VIETNAMESE MIGRANTS RETURNED FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM
Social integration is a major challenge that return migrants have to face, especially those who migrated through informal channels. This article focuses on analyzing the current status of the social integration process of Vietnamese returnees from the UK in the period 2014- 2023, based on the theory of sustainable reintegration (IOM, 2019). The study was conducted through a questionnaire survey of 164 returnees from the UK and 49 in-depth interviews with stakeholders in three provinces of Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Quang Binh. The study found that the main challenges among returnees during their social reintegration are negative emotions, psychological trauma from the migration, and self-stigma due to failure to meet economic expectations and barriers to reconnecting with the home society. However, the study also showed their resilience, in which family and community support and individual efforts play a key role. The article gives recommendations to develop reintegration support programs suitable for returning labor migrants, contributing to promoting adaptations for returnees
INNOVATION ACTIVITIES IN UNIVERSITIES AND WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION
mproving the quality of higher education and promoting innovation are key factors determining the competitiveness of universities in the context of digital transformation, contributing to the competitiveness, training efficiency and development of higher education institutions. Women, with a large proportion in the team of lecturers, researchers, and universoty managers and leaders, play an important role in this process. However, their level of participation in innovation activities is still not commensurate with their potential, due to the impact of many structural, socio-cultural, and individual barriers. This paper focuses on analyzing women's participation in innovation activities at universities, based on the theoretical basis of innovation and related legal regulations, and exploiting research data of the scientific project "Women's participation in innovation activities at Vietnam Women's Academy and Hanoi University of Architecture" conducted by Gender and Development Faculty, Vietnam Women's Academy in 2025. The paper analyzes the factors affecting women's participation in innovation activities at universities, including personal factors, organizational factors, cultural - social factors, and policy factors. The paper proposes recommendations for the State, universities, agencies, organizations, enterprises, society, and women
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL ANXIETY LEVEL AND THE BEHAVIOR OF SEEKING PERSONALIZED WELLNESS SERVICES – A STUDY AT A SPA CHAIN IN CENTRAL VIETNAM
This paper investigates the relationship between Social Anxiety (SA) levels and the use of personalized wellness services, such as spa treatments. The hypothesis suggests that individuals with higher SA tend to prefer private services and tranquil environments to minimize social exposure and the risk of negative evaluation. Data were collected from 600 clients across six spa centers in 2025, using questionnaires on SA scales and service usage behavior. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between SA levels and the frequency of using private rooms or intensive therapies. These findings offer psychological insights to help businesses tailor services that better meet the psychological needs of sensitive customer groups.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE HAPPINESS PERCEPTION OF VIETNAMESE FEMALE STUDENTS
This paper examined the overall happiness level and factors influencing the happiness perception of Vietnamese female students, based on data collected from 532 participants. Using the WHO-5 scale, the results showed that the average general happiness score was 13,31 (SD = 6, 16), which is considered moderately low compared to international standards. While some students maintained positive emotions such as joy and relaxation, many exhibited signs of fatigue, lack of motivation, and diminished interest in daily life. ANOVA and post hoc tests (Tukey HSD) were used to examine differences in happiness scores across demographic variables. The results indicated that place of residence and field of study had statistically significant effects on happiness levels. Specifically, students from mountainous areas scored significantly lower than those from cities or towns. Students majoring in Teacher education reported higher happiness levels compared to those in Social Sciences and Humanities. Factors such as age and family economic status did not show significant differences, despite some variability in the data. These findings highlight the importance of developing tailored psychosocial support programs for different groups to improve the mental well-being and quality of life among students
UNPACKING IMPULSIVE BUYING BEHAVIOR AMONG YOUNG VIETNAMESE CONSUMERS AGED 18-28 ON E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EXTERNAL DRIVERS
With the rapid growth of e-commerce in Vietnam, impulsive buying among consumers aged 18-28 has become common. However, little research has explored the psychological and external factors behind this behavior. This study investigates key factors through semi-structured interviews with young consumers. The findings reveal that psychological factors such as boredom and temporary emotional states, along with external influences like social media, time-limited promotions, and convenient payment methods, significantly contribute to impulsive buying behavior. The study offers insights for businesses to improve marketing strategies and for policymakers to encourage more responsible online shopping among young consumers
A LITERATURE REVIEW ON GENDER AND THE CHOICE OF FINANCE MAJOR AMONG VIETNAMESE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Finance, as a prestigious academic discipline with strong career prospects, continues to exhibit gender disparities in Vietnam, shaped by societal norms and entrenched gender roles. This literature review examines how gender influences Vietnamese university students’ decisions to major in finance, integrating four theoretical frameworks. By synthesizing international and Vietnamese research, the review reveals a complex interplay among personal beliefs, family expectations, institutional support, and sociocultural norms. Female students face distinct psychological and social barriers, including lower confidence in quantitative skills, fewer female role models in finance, and cultural pressures against competitive, high-risk careers. These challenges are compounded by insufficient gendersensitive institutional practices, such as limited tailored career counseling and mentorship. This review provides a foundation for future empirical studies and offers targeted recommendations for policymakers, educators, and institutions to promote gender equity in line with Vietnam’s broader goals for economic growth and social justice
SOME SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS AT ADZ CREATIVE AND PRODUCTION COMPANY LIMITED

This paper offers practical insights for improving human resource quality and supports the company in developing a more effective recruitment strategy in an increasingly competitive business environment
FACTORS AFFECTING PERSONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF GEN Z: THE ROLE OF IMPULSIVE BUYING BEHAVIOR AND FOMO
This study analyzes the factors influencing personal financial management among Generation Z, with a particular focus on the roles of impulsive buying behavior and the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in shaping their financial habits and decisions. A survey of 236 Gen Z respondents in Hanoi was conducted to test the proposed research model, which incorporates four independent variables: artificial intelligence (AI), financial attitude, subjective financial norms, and perceived financial behavioral control, along with FOMO as a moderating variable and impulsive buying behavior as a mediating variable. The findings indicate that AI, financial attitude, personal financial norms, and perceived financial behavioral control exert significant impacts on mitigating impulsive buying behavior and supporting financial management. Notably, the results confirm that impulsive buying behavior has a detrimental effect on personal financial management, and this negative impact is exacerbated under the moderating influence of FOMO. The study proposes implications to help young individual consumers improve their financial management capabilities and have a foundation for sustainable financial development in the future

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES OF FEMALE OFFICIALS IN ETHNIC MINORITY COMMUNES
The article aims to analyze the current state of professional competences of female officials in ethnic minority communes and their professional development needs. The study employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, surveying 264 female ethnic minority commune officials in four provinces. The results indicate that the majority of these cadres possess a substantial professional competence, enabling them to apply their skills in new or changing situations while also training others to progress from lower levels to level 3. However, female officials still require further improvement in their skills in advising, developing, issuing, and implementing policies. The study proposes several measures to enhance professional competence supporting female officials’ work performance
INTERNATIONAL INSIGHTS FOR STRENGTHENING OPERATIONS OF THE VIETNAM WOMEN’S UNION IN THE NEW ERA
In the context of the Communist Party and the State of Vietnam promoting streamlined administrative reforms, this article analyzes international experiences to suggest directions for reforming the structure and operations of the Vietnam Women’s Union. The research adopts a comparative case study and policy analysis approach, focusing on three models: the All-China Women’s Federation, women’s organizations in the Philippines, and the Korean Women’s Associations United (KWAU). The Chinese experience demonstrates the effectiveness of a tightly structured organization but also reveals an overly bureaucratized and politicized system. In contrast, the Philippines stands out with a dynamic civil society model, where women’s organizations act both as policy advocates and as service and communication providers. The KWAU model in South Korea emphasizes professional policy advocacy and institutional reform based on evidence. Drawing from these three models, the article proposes five suggestions for the Vietnam Women’s Union: enhancing its real representative; reforming organizational structure and operational methods; developing capacity for analyzing and criticizing policy; strengthening social linkages and strategic partnerships; and maintaining political alignment while expanding space for innovative thinking on gender policy.
ENSURING FEMALE WORKERS’ EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS AT ENTERPRISES IN VIETNAM’S DIGITAL ECONOMY

However, this also brings employment challenges for workers, as a large number of manual jobs are gradually being replaced by machines and automated technologies. This reality requires solutions to ensure the employment rights of female workers. This article analyzes the status of Vietnamese labor law and the practice of ensuring the right to work of female workers. Then, it gives implications to improve the rights of female workers in the digital economy in Vietnam
A COMMUNITY-BASED SCREENING AND INTERVENTION MODEL FOR CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS IN NINH BINH PROVINCE
This article describes a community-based screening and intervention process using the M-CHAT, Denver II, and CARS scales for early detection and progress assessment of children in Ninh Binh. 62 children with developmental disorders aged 2-10 were screened through healthcare, education, and family channels, and then participated in a 6-month intervention. The results show that the early detection rate is low; however, the communitybased intervention model has a significant improvement in communication, adaptive behavior, and social skills. The coordination among family, healthcare, and education plays a decisive role in enhancing the effectiveness of the intervention.
THE IMPACT OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF CHILDREN WITH MIGRANT PARENTS
The increasing labor migration in developing countries has led to a growing number of left-behind children, those whose parents migrate for work and leave them in the care of others. These children often face various mental health risks due to the lack of parental care, emotional bonding, and consistent support. In this context, children's perception of social support is considered a significant factor influencing their mental wellbeing. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between perceived social support and the mental health of children with migrant parents by surveying 211 children in rural areas with high migration rates. The findings reveal that, children’s perceived social support is negatively associated with mental health problems. This suggests a stronger perception of support correlates with better psychological outcomes. Based on these results, the study proposes intervention strategies to enhance children's capacity to perceive and utilize social support, thereby contributing to improved mental health and promoting the holistic development of this vulnerable group

SOCIAL NETWORK USAGE AND SELF-PROTECTION PRACTICES AMONG STUDENTS IN HANOI
This paper discusses the current situation of social media usage and self-protection behaviors among by Hanoi students. The survey had been conducted with a sample size of 598 students selected from 5 universities in Hanoi. The results of the study shows that students not only spend significant time on social media each day but also use multiple social media platforms simultaneously. On average, a student uses approximately 6 different social media networks and relies on them for many basic daily activities. Female students tend to use multiple social media platforms and spend more time on them each day than male students. While students have initially shown a sense of self-protection on social media space, many still engage in risky behaviors that can lead to personal insecurity. The results provide important practical evidences to consolidate and provide more suitable solutions for young people in general , and students in particular, to enhance their safety in their online social media space.
INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL WORK FOR PERSONS WITH MOBILITY DISABILITIES AT THE CENTER FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION AND NURSING CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH MERITORIOUS SERVICES OF TAY NINH PROVINCE
Based on in-depth interviews with 12 individuals and a survey of 32 people with mobility disabilities in 2022, the pager clarifies the current situation of individual social work for people with mobility disabilities at the Center for Social Protection and Nursing Care for People with Meritorious Services of Tay Ninh Province. The research results show that the Center provides key services such as counseling, crisis intervention, and case management.
