The students in 2012, divided into four groups from (a) to (d), initiated the group
discussion and eventually set their presentation topics by themselves. The topics for
fi nal presentations were as follows: (a) Capacity and Management of Irrigation in
Cambodia, (b) Water Supply in Rural Area, (c) Role of ODA in Sustainable
Livelihoods in Rural Cambodia and (d) Solid Waste Management in Phnom Penh.
They were able to present concrete and feasible propositions for the sustainable
development of Cambodia. The authors believe that they became aware how important it is to think out when they face diffi cult challenges. The authors also believe
that a proposition has to be made not only from subjective, or single point of view,
but also from objective and holistic viewpoints.
Acknowledgments The Cambodia Unit was successfully conducted with tremendous support
from Royal University of Phnom Penh and Seoul National University. Special thanks are extended
to Mr. Sour Sethy, Dr. Neth Baromey, Dr. Hyejin Jung and Dr. Kyoungmin Kim for their valuable
input and comments.
