This study aims to analyze the results of Vietnam’s land consolidation program of 2006 and to explore why it remains incomplete through a case study of Binh Dao Commune, a typical coastal plain commune in the country’s central region. Using a geographic information system, combined with secondary data and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, we created digital maps of the spatial structure of farmland parcels and rural infrastructure before and after the land consolidation program to determine the changes therein. In parallel, a clearer picture of the land consolidation program’s implementation mechanism is presented. The findings show that the land consolidation program in Binh Dao Commune contributed to a decrease in the average number of plots per household from 7.9 to 4.2; however, the change in the average farm size was not significant, with a mean increase of only 16.4 m2 per household, from 2,071.2 m2 to 2,087.6 m2. The agricultural road and irrigation systems in Binh Dao Commune were also significantly improved as a by-product of land consolidation. However, the fragmented classification system of agricultural land stemming from the principle of equality redistribution by the socialist agricultural revolution led to the program’s incomplete results.

Comparing the remarkable economic growth of Japan and South Korea (hereafter, Korea), many scholars have adopted the modernization theory and/or the stages theory of development. They argue that development is about the modernization of traditional societies. Moreover, it is also widely accepted that developing countries could and should learn from the pioneer countries that have already developed. However, they fail to explain the opposite side of the remarkable economic growth in both countries; namely rapid depopulation and wide collapse of rural communities. This study is an attempt to build an alternative theoretical framework for sustainable development of rural communities in East Asia, focusing on Japan and Korea. The endogenous self organization that functions as a substantial social unit for rural development is emphasized. To accomplish this purpose, a case from each country is introduced and interpreted in an alternative way. The cases demonstrate that endogenous self-organizations function as a coordinator in policy implementation. While the two countries differ from each other in their method of local government intervention, the comparison of the two cases shows that rural development initiated by a local government cannot be sustainable without enhancing endogenous self-organizations. Ironically, it could be argued that no intervention strengthens the self-organizing capabilities of a rural community.
