This study focuses on evaluating the impacts of agricultural land reclamation and conversion on the livelihoods of households affected by the Thai Nguyen Stadium Project in Phuc Trieu Commune, Thai Nguyen City. The research employed a combination of methods, including information collection through literature review and interviews with households whose agricultural land was reclaimed. Collected data were synthesized to analyze and evaluate the economic conditions of farming households post-reclamation. Statistical analysis and comparative methods were applied to examine changes in key indicators, such as employment and income, before and after the reclamation and conversion of agricultural land in the study area. The findings reveal that the project has had significant impacts on the lives of local residents. Specifically, the reclamation and conversion of agricultural land have altered the labor structure, employment opportunities, and income levels of the affected population. These results provide a basis for proposing necessary measures to enhance the effectiveness of land-use planning and management in the local context.
