Domestic water supply in rural Viet Nam - Between self-supply and piped schemes

This thesis analyses the dissemination of strategies for improving domestic water supply in rural Viet Nam based on statistical micro-data. Whereas practices of household water treatment are analysed on household level, the question of piped scheme coverage is decomposed into two sub-questions. While the first one refers to the availability of piped schemes on communal level (supply-side), the second one refers to the accessibility of safe water sources by rural households (demand-side).
