Abstract: This study showed the transformation of urban landscape and people’ socioeconomic conditions after the development of Nguyen Tat Thanh Road in Danang, Vietnam. The road was newly developed along the coastal lines of Danang Bay in 2003, linking downtown Danang with the western part of the city. To better know the relationship between new road and urban change in developing countries, we conducted in-depth interviews of 400 property owners living in one of the following sites: 1) an area directly abutting on the new road, 2) an area abutting on an existing road but is away from the new road, and 3) an area inside an urban block which is disconnected from all types of vehicular roads. The results reported that road development took place along with a sizable number of urban changes over time, including housing types, building densities and uses, income level and the type of occupation. The changes were stronger in the area abutting the new road—where relatively well-off migrants settled d

Abstract: This paper compared the effect of computerassisted collaborative concept mapping and computer-assisted individual concept mapping on improving students’ critical thinking ability under different learning styles. The experimental results showed that the effect of computer-assisted collaborative and individual concept mapping on improving statistics critical thinking ability is not significantly different. However, when considering student learning style, experimental results showed that comparing to computer-assisted individual concept mapping, computer-assisted collaborative concept mapping provides better assistance to improve statistics critical thinking ability for students who have accommodating and diverging learning styles. Conversely, for students who have assimilating and converging learning styles, the computer-assisted individual concept mapping offers better benefit to improving their statistics critical thinking ability than the computer-assisted collaborative concept mappi
