Abstract

This thesis is the result of a research task initiated in 1994 on the agricultural management of water, in the delta of the Red River in Vietnam. Its object is firstly to show that the transfer of management operated in the agricultural management of water of the delta is the result of innovations caused by the local actors. The second objective consists in specifying the developed methodological approach. The bases of this one are to be sought in the Social Management of Water, which combines a systemic vision heritage of the analysis of the agrarian systems of the agronomists, with a spatial vision, borrowed from the geography, and cultural, borrowed from the social anthropology.
