Abstract

The prolonged drought due to climate change has significantly affected the agricultural production of rural communities in the mountainous and plain areas of Vietnam. We use the standardized precipitation index (SPI) combined with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) to simulate and forecast the impacts of drought on agricultural land use in Bac Tra My district, Quang Nam province, in the study. The data were set up for the scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. We also applied the focus group discussion, in-depth interview, and field survey for data cross-checking to ensure highly reliable predictions. We came to four levels of drought: normal, mild, moderate, and severe drought in the 2016–2035 Summer–Autumn crops. Severe drought will occur on a large scale for both scenarios for five types of agricultural land use: paddy, annual crop, perennial, afforestation, and aquacultural land. From the findings, local authorities can consider adapting and mitigating measures to climate change in agricultural land use planning.
