Abstract: Abstract The Southern region is a multicultural area with multiple ethnic groups, religions, actors, and also diverse socio-economic conditions. Contemporary young culture along with religious resources are important cultural assets for Vietnam to implement a sustainable development strategy based on the community. Therefore, it can be said that the cultural resource assets for sustainable development of the Southern region are extremely abundant and rich. Among them, the most outstanding are religious resources, cultural resources, the role of youth, young intellectuals, and the role of the knowledge economy and digital transformation through the workforce of immigrant laborers, the numerous youth, and young intellectuals in the region. By presenting the concepts of cultural resources, community, and community-based sustainable development, using systematic methods, historical methods, and qualitative secondary data analysis-synthesis methods, this article shows the richness and abundance of cultural resources of the communities in the Southern region as favorable conditions for the Southern region to sustainably develop based on the community, the importance of these cultural resources for sustainable development of the Southern region, as well as the strengths and weaknesses that need to be overcome in the current state’s approach to these groups to achieve more effective community-based sustainable development.
