Situation of Khe Tran village
Biodiversity and Local Perceptions | in the lower part of the village), thus moving away from the lands traditionally occupied by the Pahy. Most of these villagers were of mixed ethnic origins. This is how the village became divided into two parts, as mentioned before, on the upper and lower reaches of the O Lau river; with support from the government the villagers living in the lowlands developed agricultural crops (including rice) and rubber plantations. 5.2.2. Population and ethnicity One hundred twenty-four villagers, divided into 20 households, live in Khe Tran. People 15 to 60 years old represent 71% of the population, the remainder being composed of children (21%) and seniors (8%). Most villagers are farmers and only a few have other occupations such as police, teacher or tailor. As mentioned before, most of the villagers belong to the Pahy ethnic group, one of the many minority groups found in Vietnam; 23 people are Kinh, which is the majority ethnic group in Thua Thien Hue province and in Vietnam generally (Vu Hoai Minh and Warfvinge 2002). There is a single representative of the Khome ethnic group. Originally only Pahy people inhabited Khe Tran and the surrounding areas, but with time other ethnic groups have settled in the region through intermarriages. Pahy and Kinh people live together in both the upland and lowland village parts. Interactions between government and minorities like the Pahy are sometimes strained, especially in respect to land and natural resources rights of usage. Working with the Pahy of Khe Tran allowed us to study the situation of a minority group for which the process of integration and transformation is practically achieved, and our observations may be of value as a basis for comparison with other groups in Central Vietnam. 5.2.3. Education Only eight villagers have not received an education. The villagers who have received the most years of education are young people (under 30 years old), most of whom have finished elementary school. A very few have gone to high school. The sole elementary school is located in a nearby village on the way to the commune (Phong My). The primary (middle) school is at the commune (5 km from the village), and secondary (high) schools are located in Phong Dien district. There was an elementary school in the village, but it closed for lack of students. Most of villagers hope for better education, infrastructure and institutions. They think that education can help them to increase their welfare by providing their children with useful knowledge and skills. 5.2.4. Livelihood Villagers of Khe Tran work most of the time in their rice fields, in their home gardens (mostly growing pepper and jackfruit) and in rubber and Acacia plantations
