Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to analyze the impact of urbanization on the income and employment of people in Vietnam. To collect data for the study, 515 people participated in the survey, representing 515 households living in major cities in Vietnam. The OLS regression method and the T-test are applied to analyze the research objectives and examine the differences in the income and employment of people before and after urbanization. Research findings show that urbanization has both positive and negative effects on people’s income and employment in Vietnam. The income of people increased by about 12.5779 million VND/year compared to the pre-urbanization period. After urbanization, new jobs will increase, with employment disparities before and after urbanization in each family averaging about 1.734 jobs. The survey findings also show that household investments have the most significant influence on household income (standardized coefficients = 0.465). Compensation also has a positive and relatively substantial impact on household income with standardized coefficients = 0.195. However, the undesirable consequences of urbanization affected the employment of a part of the population, the number of unemployed leads to a decrease in the household’s income (standardized coefficients = –0.13).

This paper explores the impact of urbanization on income inequality in Vietnam, using the regression estimation method with panel data including Driscoll and Kraay, and Pooled Mean Group. The research data cover 63 provinces in Vietnam from 2006 to 2016. The results show that in the long term, urbanization has an impact on reducing income inequality. In the short term, urbanization has a negligible impact on income inequality. The hypothesis of an inverted-U-shaped relationship between urbanization and income inequality is confirmed. The high school enrollment rate and the proportion of agriculture have an effect on reducing income inequality.

Abstract Land-use change is a human process aimed at transforming the natural landscape and emphasizing the role and function of land for socio-economic activities. However, we do not know how the land transition in Vietnam has been proceeding recently. Thus, this article aims to examine the current urbanization process of land conversion in Vietnam. To explore the current situation and recent change of land use, the author analyzed standardized databases and maps from reports of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam (MoNRE), the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO), and the land cover map of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Research results show that the land transition in Vietnam has been similar to the world trend. The highest land conversion rate occurs in the North Central and Central Coast regions, but conversion of agricultural land for urbanization is mainly in the Red River Delta and Southeast. The study also noted some negative socio-economic impacts of land conversion on the lives of suburban residents.

Full textAbstract:
Since Doi Moi (Reform) policy in 1986, Vietnam has experienced rapid urbanization and economic growth. Urbanization has resulted in increasingly high housing demand in the urban areas but this has largely unmet, especially housing for low-income people. Development of social housing for low-income and under-privileged people in cities has been seen as an urgent and important task of the government to pursue stable social and economic development. Low-income people are most vulnerable to environmental impacts and in need of energy-efficient houses to reduce their cost of living. Eco-social housing is seen as a solution to protect the natural environment as well as to boost local economy, improve living conditions particularly for low income people. Through preliminary assessments of three social buildings at three distinct regions of Vietnam, this paper found that despite many challenges, eco-social housing is a solution to Vietnam's needs in providing houses with adequate living conditions to low-income people while protecting the environment and achieving sustainable eco-social development in the long run.

Full textAbstract:
Fossil energy consumption is considered a source of environmental degradation. While the demand for fossil energy increases during the process of urbanization, different nations rely upon different sources of fossil energy. As such, a one-size-fits-all approach in reducing the consumption of fossil fuels to improve the quality of the environment is neither logical, nor practical. This study investigates the short-term and long-term effects of urbanization in relation to fossil energy consumption from coal, gas and oil. The auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) is employed on the sample of five emerging ASEAN nations in the 1985–2018 period. The findings reveal that that urbanization in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand appears to be associated with an increase in coal consumption in the short run. In Vietnam, gas consumption will increase with urbanization. However, in the long run, urbanization in Thailand and Vietnam is linked to an increase in oil consumption. Urbanization in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines leads to the reduction of coal consumption in the long run. Policy implications have emerged based on the findings of this study.

Similar to the hukou system in China, the household registration system ([Formula: see text]) in Vietnam which represents the citizenship of its people has become a part of the Vietnamese society in the past 60 years. After the economic reform in 1986, the force of [Formula: see text] system has begun to wane; however, it still plays an essential role in everyday life of Vietnamese. Utilizing the new Household Registration Study (HRS) survey conducted by the World Bank in 2015, this paper employs Instrumental Variables (IV) to estimate the effect of citizenship (household registration status) on migrant workers in urban Vietnam. The main findings detect a pattern of discrimination against temporary residents in term of labor wages, which is different from the result of OLS estimation in the World Bank report.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade there has been a substantial increase of new migrants into large cities in Việt Nam, changing the social, cultural, and political fabric of Hồ Chí Minh City. Rapid urbanization and land use changes in Hồ Chí Minh City have occurred alongside mass internal migration. The movement of people has become an important piece in the 1986 economic reforms of đổi mới and a main focus of Vietnamese public policy from the late 1990s until today. With the influx of new actors comes a new set of social interactions and negotiations between people in daily life that are embedded within a broader socio-economic framework.
New liberal policies on internal migration have spurred great mass internal migration into cities which has several implications for not only the entire country, but specific to this research, for the social dynamics of how Bình Trị Ðông ward is managing the influx of migrants. Not only did this field research seek to explore the social relationships and integration among migrants living on the urban fringe but the issue of local governance and infrastructure provisions in the form of migrant housing is central to this research. In short, this thesis asks: what are the social experiences of migrants living in Bình Trị Ðông? What is the role of local government, if any, in managing the social and cultural changes among migrants? My research finds that migrants are each striving towards their own individual goals of economic gains, treating Bình Trị Ðông as a temporary living space, thus preventing a strong sense of community and social bonds from flourishing. Meanwhile, more equitable planning policies of prioritizing the needs of ordinary citizens over economic development signal a shift in local development policies. Yet the government’s shift towards greater participation has not necessarily changed the lived experiences of residents. Migrants here are oriented towards their own goals thus stunting interpersonal relationships and deepening social segregation, leading one to question what ties, if any, unite people in this neighborhood.

Full textAbstract:
L’urbanisation avec le regroupement des activités et des populations dans les villes contribue à l’accroissement de la demande des services en eau. Cependant, la surexploitation de cette ressource peut entraîner des effets négatifs sur l’environnement. Un des effets est la subsidence dont les causes majeures sont liées au processus d’urbanisation accéléré. Depuis les années 1990, les études antérieures utilisant des mesures in situ ont confirmé les déformations au centre-ville d’Ha Noi (la capitale du Vietnam). Peu d’études ont permis d’obtenir une caractérisation spatiale sur l’étendue de la Nouvelle Région Urbaine et notamment pour les zones récemment urbanisées selon le Plan Directeur (2011) au Sud et à l’Ouest du centre-ville. L’objectif de la thèse est d’élaborer une carte d’occurrence de subsidence dans cette région en fournissant une information utilisable à la protection civile par les acteurs de la planification. Le but d’une telle représentation est d’éviter ou d’optimiser le développement sur des zones sensibles en complétant les documents de planification à partir d’une analyse de données géo-spatiales structurées dans un Système d’Information Géographique. La thèse aborde donc la subsidence en proposant une méthodologie à partir de données InSAR multi-temporelle (Images ALOS 2007-2011) grâce à laquelle une quantification de la subsidence sur le territoire d’Ha Noi a été réalisée. Une forte différence apparait entre les deux rives du Fleuve Rouge. La rive Nord du Fleuve Rouge reste stable tandis que la rive Sud présente un taux vertical maximum d’affaissement de 68 mm/an. Une carte des vitesses de subsidence a été réalisée permettant d’identifier trois sites plus «sensibles» : les zones de Hoang Mai, HaDong et Hoai Duc. Les facteurs identifiés qui participent à ce phénomène de subsidence peuvent être identifiés : facteurs géologiques et hydrologiques, facteurs socio-économiques concernant la ressource en eau et son usage et enfin des facteurs liés à la planification territoriale. L’interprétation des résultats obtenus a confirmé que le phénomène est lié à une combinaison de tels facteurs : rôle des couches géologiques non saturées, diminution des réserves en eau des aquifères par pompage entrainant des processus de sape, rôle de l’urbanisation et des modalités de construction des différents types de bâtiment. La conversion de cette vitesse de subsidence sous forme des contours permet de faciliter l’intégration de cette information avec les couches de données géo-spatiales pour fournir un support d’aide à la décision dans la gestion des risquesUrbanization with the concentration of activities in cities contributes to the increase in demand for water services. However, the overexploitation of this resource can cause adverse effects on the environment. One of the effects is the subsidence whose essential causes are strongly related to the consequences of an accelerated urbanization process. Since the 1990s, the previous studies using measurements in situ confirmed deformations in the city-center of Ha Noi (the capital of Vietnam). Few studies have yielded a spatial characterization on the extent of the new urban region and especially for recently urbanized areas in the South and West of the city-center according to the Master Plan approved in 2011. The thesis aims to generate a map of the subsidence in this region for providing an usable information to civil protection by the actors involved in the urban planning in order to avoid or to optimize the development in sensitive area by the realization of planning documents, issued from geospatial data analysis structured in a Geographic Information System. The thesis therefore addresses the subsidence by proposing a methodology based on multi-temporal InSAR with the images ALOS acquired from 2007 to 2011 through which a quantification of subsidence on the territory of Ha Noiwas carried out. Thus a strong difference appears between the two banks of the Red River. The North bank of Red river remains much more static while the South bank presents vertical maximum rates of subsidence of 68mm/year. A map of the subsidence rates has been realized to identify the "sensitive" three "sensitive" sites in districts of Hoang Mai, Ha Dong and Hoai Duc. Identified factors that contribute to this phenomenon can be classified depending on geological and hydrological factors, socio-economic factors relating to the water resource, and use, and territorial planning. The interpretation of the results confirmed that the phenomenon is linked to a combination of several factors : the role of the unsaturated geological layers, the decrease of the water supply aquifers by pumping resulting in undermining process, the role of urbanization and the different types of building foundations. The conversion of subsidence velocity to contour lines allows facilitating the integration with different layers of geospatial data in order to provide a decision making tool in the risk management

Full textAbstract:
Depuis l’adoption de la politique « Doimoi », le Vietnam a connu un développement économique rapide, conduisant à des transformations de façon significative des paysages dans des toutes les régions du pays. Les aspects du changement des paysages dans les zones urbaines n’ont pas reçu suffisamment l'attention, bien que le Vietnam soit classé un rang élevé en termes de la croissance de la population urbaine et de l'expansion spatiale urbaine en Asie de l'Est au cours de la période 2000-2010. Cette étude vise à analyser la dynamique du paysage et les conséquences environnementales du développement industriel et de l'urbanisation à la zone de la baie d'Ha Long, nord-est du Vietnam. Les principaux objectifs de ce travail sont les suivants: 1) d'analyser les tendances de l'urbanisation et du développement industriel, ainsi que identifier la liaison entre eux dans le contexte régional; 2) de quantifier l'évolution du paysage dans la période de 40 ans (1973-2013) en utilisant les données de la télédétection; 3) de développer une approche holistique pour expliquer les causes fondamentales du changement du paysage; 4) d’analyser les conséquences environnementales du changement du paysage. En conséquence, nous avons développé une méthode intégrée qui est basée sur la combinaison des données du changement du paysage et des données de l'enquête sociale en utilisant une combinaison des méthodes d’analyse multivariée. Cette approche est ouverte et peut être utilisée pour différentes variables à différentes échelles de la rechercheSince the adoption of Doimoi policy in 1986, Vietnam has experienced a fast economic development, leading to rapid land transformations in the whole regions of the country. Land change aspects of urban areas have not been given adequate attention although Vietnam ranked top of urban population growth and urban spatial expansion in East Asia during the period 2000-2010. This study aims to analyze the landscape dynamics and the environmental consequences of industrial development and urbanization in the Ha Long bay area, Vietnam northeast coast. The principal objectives of the research are: 1) to analyze the trends of urbanization and industrial development, as well as identify the relation between then in the regional context; 2) to quantify the evolution of the landscape in the 40-year period (1973-2013) by using the remote sensing data; 3) to develop a holistic approach to explain the driving forces of the landscape change; 4) to analyze the environmental consequences of landscape change. As result, we have developed an integrated method based on the combination of landscape change data and social survey data using multivariate analysis. This approach is open and can be employed for different variables at various scales of research

Full textAbstract:
Vietnam is a country that is characterized by a dense river network, experiencing a rapid economic growth, and still faces challenges with supplying enough water for the residents due to increased pollution levels. With water being perceived as one of the most stressed resources today, there is a need of understanding water usage behaviour. To fill in the gap in knowledge and provide a better understanding of the attitudes and the perceptions of household consumption behaviour could be a key to water savings on local and global levels. This field study was carried out in Hai Phong, the third largest city in Vietnam, as the potential of generalizing the result to other fast-growing cities and urban areas of the country was identified. In order to reach an improved understanding of water usage behaviour, the field study was of multi-design nature and was conducted by combining semi-structured interviews, water-diaries and observations. The results show that water usage behaviour is strongly determined by interpersonal trust issues which in most cases lead to an excess water consumption. The lack of trust did however also generate a cautiousness in water treatment routines, which could turn into a water savings behaviour. Other factors that affect water usage behaviour were seasonal aspects and cultural traditions perceptions. Despite the interpersonal trust issues, the institutional trust proved to be greater than expected while the role of marketing and information-based messages proved to influence behaviour. Based on this, water authorities have the potential of encouraging behaviour changes in upcoming challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Les enjeux alimentaires liés aux mutations de l’aménagement du territoire sont une question d’actualité, mais aussi source de polémique. C’est notamment le cas du bassin versant du fleuve Gianh, situé dans la Région Centre au Vietnam. En effet, depuis 1986, ce delta de zone littorale connait des mutations. La riziculture, qui emploie une grande partie de la population, constitue une soupape de sécurité contre la pénurie alimentaire. Cette région connait une croissance démographique, urbaine et économique rapides. Cela entraîne une augmentation de la demande alimentaire, alors que les zones agricoles ont tendance à disparaître. Une autre conséquence de ce changement est l’accentuation des conséquences des typhons avec la conjonction entre tempêtes, marées et crues du fleuve. Le risque s’accroît à cause de la concentration démographique dans des zones fragiles, et de la bétonisation liée à l’extension de la ville. Un problème d’insécurité alimentaire est susceptible d’apparaître dans le bassin si des densités trop fortes sont combinées avec la réduction des surfaces rizicoles et le risque. C’est pourquoi des solutions sur la gestion, la prévention et protection de l’inondation sont proposés afin d’aider les aménageurs au Vietnam pour la réduction les risquesFood shortage related to the changes in land which is used for planning are a current issue, but also a source of controversy. This, particularly, is the case of the Gianh River watershed, located in the Central Region of Vietnam. Indeed, since 1986, this delta of littoral zone has been known for mutations. Rice farming helps to bring job to a large number of the population, is a safety valve against the food shortage because the more farmers, the more food would be produced.This region, on the other hand, is experiencing rapid demographic, urban and economic growth, as a result, it leads to an increase in the demand for food while the agricultural areas tend to be reduced and disappeared. Another effect of this change is the accentuation of the consequences of typhoons with the conjunction of storms, tides and floods of the river. The risk increases because of the demographic concentration in fragile areas, and the concreteization linked to the extension of the city. A problem of food insecurity is likely to appear in the basin if too high densities are combined with the reduction of farming areas and risks. That's why flood management, prevention and protection solutions are proposed to help developers in Vietnam to reduce mentioned risks

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser les caractéristiques de la relation entre les villes et leurs fleuves, ainsi que les transformations des zones riveraines sous l’effet de l’urbanisation, avec le cas d’études de Hanoï et le fleuve Rouge, qui est représentatif de cette relation des pays du sud-est asiatique. Ce fleuve est la base importante de l’installation des Vietnamiens, de l’évolution des zones riveraines et de la forme urbaine de Hanoï. Sa relation avec cette ville est structurée par des caractères contradictories. Le fleuve offre la ville des opportunités, mais la menace par un risque d’inondations : tout d’abord, il contribue à développer l’agriculture en alimentant la ville en eau et alluvions, effectue un axe de transport fluvial important et constitue la forme d’une ville au milieu des eaux. Mais ses crues sont toujours un péril persistant de la ville. Au long de l’histoire, les habitants ont cherché à s’adapter au courant du fleuve. La construction et l’évolution de la digue est l’exemple de cette adaptation. La digue protège la ville contre les inondations, mais la sépare en deux parties. Cette séparation entraîne beaucoup de problèmes. Sous l’urbanisation et en raison du manque d’un cadastre d’autorités, les zones densément peuplées hors digue au centre ville et les nouveaux quartiers riverains du sud se transforment rapidement. Donc, une recherche pluridisciplinaire a été effectuée pour analyser le processus et les conséquences de ces transformations. Dans le contexte de la « nouvelle capitale » depuis 2008 et de son schéma directeur pour le développement de 2030, avec plusieurs stratégies du développement, l’étalement urbain et la migration vers le centre ville, cette recherche s’appuie particulièrement sur l’évolution économique suite aux changements administratifs, les questions foncières, les transformations des infrastructures et leurs conséquences environnementales des nouveaux quartiers ; les problèmes sociaux et démographiques des zones centrales où concentrent un grand nombre de migrants ; l’hésitation entre la préservation des valeurs architecturales et la modernité des villages de métiers. Enfin, la thèse cherche à analyser aussi les impacts de ces transformations sur le développement urbain de Hanoï, surtout au niveau du paysage et de la technique urbaineThis thesis is aimed to analyze the characteristics of the relation between cities and rivers, and also the transformations of riverine zones under urbanization, with the case study of Hanoi and Red river, which is typical of this relation in Southeast Asia. Red river is an important base of Vietnamese’s settlement, the evolution of the riverine zones and urban water form of Hanoi. Its relation with the city is built by some contrary characteristics. The river brings the city opportunities, but also threatens it with a risk of inundation: firstly, the river contributes to the development of agriculture by bringing water and depositing alluvium on the riverbank; it also creates an important fluvial traffic and make up the city’s form. However, flood from the river is always a persistent peril. Throughout the history, the inhabitants have been seeking to cohabit with the river. The construction and the evolution of the dyke is a typical example of this process. The dyke prevents the river from flooding the city, but it also divides the city into 2 parts. This separation brings on many problems. Under pressure of urbanization and lack of land register, the densely populated outside-dyke zones in city center and the new urban quarters in the South are transforming rapidly. Accordingly, an interdisciplinary research was carried out in order to analyze the process and the consequences of these transformations. In the context of a « new capital » from 2008 and its master plan for 2030 with many development strategies concerning urban expansion and the migration towards the city center, this research focus on economic evolution, land dispute, transformations of the system of urban infrastructure and their environmental consequences in the new riverine urban quarters, social problems in the central zones where concentrated by a lot of immigrants, the hesitation between modernity and tradition in the handicraft villages. Finally, this thesis is aimed to analyze the contrary impacts of these transformations to urban development of Hanoi, especially in landscape and in urban infrastructure

Full textAbstract:
Depuis 2008, Hanoï est devenue l’une des grandes capitales du monde, en intégrant de nouveaux territoires. Hanoï a pour ambition de devenir une ville tournée vers la sous-région et fortement compétitive. Cependant, son processus d’urbanisation se heurte à de nombreux obstacles, notamment en matière de transports urbains fortement dépendants des modes individuels, tout particulièrement des motos. Or, le processus actuel de métropolisation de Hanoï est porteur de nouveaux défis pour le transport urbain tels que le changement de structure et de fonctions urbaines, l’émergence d’une mobilité intra-urbaine sur des distances importantes, le risque de ségrégation socio-spatiale… A partir d’un constat sur les caractéristiques de la métropolisation de Hanoi, cette thèse examine quelles sont les influences de la ségrégation socio-spatiale sur la mobilité des citadins et comment ils s’adaptent au contexte urbain de plus en plus ségrégatif à Hanoi en termes de mobilité et d’activités. Pour répondre à cette problématique, nous avons mené en 2013 une enquête ciblée sur la population sensible. Des analyses comparatives ont été effectuées grâce aux données de notre propre enquête et celles de l’enquête PRUD en 2003. Les données des recensements tant au niveau national que de Hanoi ont été également utilisées. Les résultats nous montrent que la métropolisation à Hanoi présente non seulement des similitudes mais également des singularités par rapport aux autres logiques observées dans d’autres villes. Les dynamiques métropolitaines renforcent les caractères ségrégatifs dans les territoires de Hanoi. La ségrégation socio-spatiale a des impacts nets sur les comportements de mobilité des habitants (mobilité résidentielle) et l’accès aux services urbains (mobilité quotidienne) au détriment des pauvres. Face à cette réalité et à cause de l’inefficacité du réseau de bus et du retard des projets de transports en commun, la population la plus modeste recourt aux modes de transports alternatifs (taxi et mototaxi) pour s’adapter à leurs conditions de vieSince 2008, Hanoi has become one of the greatest capitals of the world, by integrating new territories. Hanoi aims to become a highly competitive city turned towards the sub-region in the Asian continent. However, the urbanization process faces many obstacles, including a strong dependence on individual urban transport modes, particularly motorcycles. However, the current metropolization process of Hanoi brings about new challenges for urban transport such as the change in urban structure and functions, the emergence of intra-urban mobility over long distances and the risk of socio-spatial segregation. Through the observation of the characteristics of metropolization in Hanoi, this study examines the influences of socio-spatial segregation on urban mobility and how the inhabitants adapt to the increasingly segregated urban context in terms of mobility and activities. To deal with this issue, we conducted in 2013 a survey focused on the vulnerable population. Comparative analyses were carried out, using data from our own survey and from the 2003 PRUD survey. Census data both at the national and local level were also used. The results show that the metropolization process of Hanoi has not only similarities but also singularities compared to processes observed in other cities. Metropolitan dynamics reinforce segregated characters in the territories of Hanoi. Socio-spatial segregation has clear-cut impacts on the mobility behavior of people (residential mobility) and the access to urban services (daily mobility), especially for the poor. To face up to this situation and because of the inefficiency of the bus network and the delays in the implementation of urban transport projects, the poorest people turn to alternative modes of transport (taxi and motorcycle taxi) to adjust to their living conditions

Hanoï est née de l’eau. La Tô Lịch (la Tô) fait partie de son réseau de lacs et de fleuves. Ses valeurs historico-culturelles-sociales et environnements ont favorisé une croissance urbaine équilibrée, pourtant très fragile, du paysage d’Hanoï. Notre étude permet d’identifier ses valeurs paysagères fondamentales, en lien avec les villages riverains constituant l’espace urbain de la région.La pollution de la Tô, miroir de la société, a gravement menacé l’équilibre urbain. L’espace et le paysage urbains sont aujourd’hui au cœur d’une tempête d’urbanisation incontrôlable.Notre recherche porte sur les villages traditionnels Cót et Định Công Hạ dans les secteurs II et III du paysage fluvial. Notre approche s’articule autour d’une enquête sociologique du géo-paysage et d’une étude d’aménagement, de patrimoine, d’architecture, d’écologie de la Tô actuelle sous l’impact de l’urbanisation.L’étude paysagère des tronçons concernés de la Tô, nos résultats ont attesté des impacts à différents niveaux d’intensité, qui constituent des outils pour l’identification de la morphologie du paysage fluvial et de ses caractéristiques. L’étude souligne également le rôle important de la Tô pour Hanoï à son échelle de métropole. Grâce à l’analyse de la structure paysagère d’un village riverain, nous proposons un modèle de conservation, préservation, de projet urbain, de gestion urbaine et de développement pour un paysage fluvial durable, ordonné en trois piliers : Culture-Social-Patrimoine-Histoire, Commerce-Artisanat-Agriculture et Environnement-Habitation-Ecologie. Ces éléments fondamentaux, qui façonnent l’identité du paysage de chaque village et de chaque tronçon de la Tô, constituent une démarche de mise en valeur paysagère pour d’autres rivières vietnamiennesHanoi was born of water. The Tô Lịch River (The Tô), within the city, is part of its lakes and rivers network. In the past, its historical, cultural, social and environment values allowed a balanced urban growth of Hanoi landscape, a sustainable yet very fragile development. Our research allows us to understand what are its core landscape values, to identify its characteristics and the area uniqueness related to the villages bordering this stream, establishing its urban space.The Tô is the mirror of urban society, with space and urban landscape being located in the heart of the uncontrollable urbanization storm. Did we forget it? Its urban landscape is threatened by serious landscape pollution.We study two traditional villages, Cót and Định Công Hạ, located at sector II and III of the river landscape. Our tools are sociological investigation of geo-landscape and study of settlement, architecture, heritage and environment of present Tô under the impact of urbanization. In both villages, our results have demonstrated such impacts on studied sections of the Tô, at different degrees. These results are also tools to identify present river morphology of the present river and its distinctive values. Moreover, the study shows the important role of the Tô in the landscape and the urban morphology of Hanoi as a metropolis.Through the analysis of landscape structure of a village set in relation to the river, the research offers a model of urban project and sustainable urban development for the river landscape. This structure consists on: Culture-Social-Heritage-History; Trade-Crafts-Agriculture; Environment-Housing-Ecology. These key elements are shaping the identity of the village landscapes and of each part of the Tô. They are a strategy of landscape development for other Vietnamese rivers
Hà nội được sinh ra từ nước, sông Tô Lịch đã là một phần trong mạng lưới sông hồ. Những giá trị văn hóa xã-hội-lịch sử-môi trường của con sông này thực sự đã giúp cho một đô thị sinh trưởng cân bằng nhưng rất mong manh cho cảnh quan Hà nội. Nghiên cứu của chúng tôi cho phép nhận dạng được những chất liệu hình thành cảnh quan, sự liên hệ với các làng mạc vùng ven sông hợp thành một vùng cảnh quan trong không gian đô thị.Sự ô nhiễm sông Tô, tấm gương phản chiếu xã hội hiện nay, nó đã thực sự đe dọa sự cân bằng đô thị. Không gian và cảnh quan đô thị đang ở giữa trung tâm của cơn bão đô thị hóa không kiểm soát.Chúng tôi nghiên cứu đề cập đến 02 làng truyền thống Cót và Định Công Hạ ở vùng đô thị hóa II và III của cảnh quan con sông. Tiếp cận nghiên cứu được khớp nối nhau xung quanh các trục, điều tra xã hội học trên không gian địa lý cảnh quan, nghiên cứu qui hoạch, di sản, kiến trúc và môi trường sông Tô hiện nay dưới tác động đô thị hóa.Phân tích cảnh quan của các đoạn sông Tô Lịch, kết quả nghiên cứu đã chứng thực những tác động đô thị hóa ở những mức độ khác nhau, cho phép xây dựng một công cụ cho sự nhận dạng hình thái cảnh quan con sông và những sự đặc trưng của nó. Nghiên cứu cũng đã nhấn mạnh vai trò quan trọng của sông Tô cho Hà nội ở qui mô đại đô thị.Dựa vào nghiên cứu cấu trúc cảnh quan ở ngôi làng ven sông, chúng tôi đề xuất một mô hình cho việc bảo tồn, tôn tạo, quản lý, thiết kế đô thị & phát triển cho một vùng làng cảnh quan sông nước bề vững, được sắp đặt theo 03 trục : Văn hóa-Xã hội-Di sản-Lịch sử, Thương Mại-Nghề thủ công-Nông nghiệp và Môi trường-Nơi ở-Sinh thái. Từ những yếu tố hình thành con sông này, chúng giúp nhận dạng cảnh quan ở từng ngôi làng và từng đoạn sông Tô, cũng như tạo lập một công cụ để từng bước nâng cao giá trị cảnh quan các con sông khác ở lãnh thổ Việt nam

Full textAbstract:
This three-paper dissertation explores how broader (and often unchallenged) changes to political economy at multiple geographic and economic scales impact long-standing ‘informal’ practices of waste recovery and recycling in Hanoi, Vietnam. This research is based on a survey of 575 informal waste collectors and 264 waste intermediaries as well as 73 in-depth interviews.
Paper I engages in a critique of methodological disclosure in current academic writings on informal waste-recovery activities and discusses the methodological difficulties of researching informal populations. My aim in this paper is to highlight that the lack of methodological disclosure in waste-recovery literature is problematic because it compromises the academic rigour of this field and impedes the reliability of researchers’ policy recommendations as well as to initiate a dialogue with the aim of improving methodological rigour in waste-recovery literature.
Paper II examines urbanization processes in contemporary Vietnam and how these changing spaces accommodate labour, and in turn support livelihoods. I argue that Vietnam’s globalizing economy and urban transition have been a catalyst for the growth of the informal waste collector population in Hanoi, as well as a partial player in the gendering of the industry.
Paper III explores how one particular segment of the informal waste-recovery trade, waste intermediaries, is impacted by Hanoi’s rapid urban change. I demonstrate in this paper that 1) waste intermediaries simultaneously gain and lose as a result of Hanoi’s urban transition; and 2) the underlying forces of urban spatial change in different areas of the city are quite distinct, which will have an impact on the future of waste-recovery in Hanoi.
The key findings of this dissertation are:
1)A more thorough engagement with methods and a broader approach to understanding waste-recovery actors (through an engagement with political economy at multiple geographic and economic scales) will produce a more context-appropriate and compassionate understanding of this group of urban actors.
2)The livelihoods of informal waste-recovery workers are both directly and indirectly impacted by shifts in political economy, albeit in Hanoi these impacts (both positive and negative) vary by sex and sub-occupation (with respect to waste collectors), and scale of business and location in the city (with respect to waste intermediaries).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA great deal of the contemporary discourse around circularity revolves around waste—the elimination of waste (and wastelands) through recycling, renewing and reuse (3Rs). In line with industrial ecological thinking, the discourse often focuses on resource efficiency and the shift toward renewables. The reconstitution of numerous previous ecologies is at most a byproduct of the deliberate design of today’s cyclic systems. Individual projects are often heralded for their innovative aspects (both high- and low-tech) and the concept has become popularly embraced in much of the Western world. Nevertheless, contemporary spatial circularity practices appear often to be detached from their particular socio-cultural and landscape ecologies. There is an emphasis on performative aspects and far too often a series of normative tools create cookie-cutter solutions that disregard locational assets—spatial as well as socio-cultural. The re-prefix is evident for developed economies and geographies, but not as obvious in the context of rapidly transforming and newly urbanizing territories. At the same time, the notion of circularity has been deeply embedded in indigenous, pre-modern and non-Western worldviews and strongly mirrored in historic constellations of urban, rural and territorial development. This contribution focuses on two contexts, Flanders in Belgium and the rural highlands, the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, which reveal that in spite of the near-universal prevalence of the Western development paradigm, there are fundamentally different notions of circularity in history and regarding present-day urbanization. Historically, in both contexts, the city and its larger territory formed a social, economic and ecological unity. There was a focus is on the interdependent development of notions of circularity in the ever-evolving relations of landscape, infrastructure and urbanization. In the development of contemporary circularity, there are clear insights that can be drawn from the deep understandings of historic interdependencies and the particular mechanisms and typologies utilized. The research questions addressed are in line with territorial ecology’s call to incorporate socio-cultural and spatial dimensions when trying to understand how territorial metabolisms function (Barles, Revue D’économie Régionale and Urbaine:819–836, 2017). They are as follows: how can case studies from two seemingly disparate regions in the world inform the present-day wave of homogenized research on circularity? How can specific socio-cultural contexts, through their historical trajectories, nuance the discourse and even give insights with regard to broadened and contextualized understandings of circularity? The case studies firstly focus on past site-specific cyclic interplays between landscape, infrastructure and urbanization and their gradual dissolution into linearity. Secondly, the case studies explicitly focus on multi-year design research projects by OSA (Research Urbanism and Architecture, KU Leuven), which underscore new relations of landscape, infrastructure and urbanization and emphasize the resourcefulness of the territory itself. The design research has been elaborated in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and experts and at the request of governmental agencies.

Full textAbstract:
The study focused on the orientations of building sustainable new rural areas associated with urbanization. This was very necessary, in order to develop a concentrated, commodity agriculture and to form residential areas and infrastructure, which were suitable to the process of industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas. The agricultural sector was restructured, and the living conditions of rural people were improved close to those in urban areas. The project of the National Target Program on building new rural areas in Vietnam was analyzed. The program has achieved many expected results. In which, the construction of new rural areas has achieved great achievements. The basic socioeconomic infrastructure in the rural areas was strengthened in a synchronous direction. The sustainable development of the rural economy was in the direction of increasing added values and raised people’s incomes and gradually narrowed the gap between rural and urban areas. The work of landscape construction, implementation of environmental sanitation had a remarkable change.

This chapter discusses the physical movement of traders throughout Vietnam, and demonstrates that the concept of “market socialism” is a social phenomenon enacted through migration and movement. The essay also introduces the four chapters in section two of the book. Luong’s chapter discusses mobile traders from central coastal Vietnam who mobilize social networks to facilitate business. Nguyen’s chapter discusses junk traders from a Red River Delta village who circulate between Hanoi and their village and other parts of Vietnam before settling down to establish families. Nguyễn Thị Thanh Bình’s chapter discusses peri-urban traders outside Hanoi who respond to urbanization through new spatial practices. Finally, Barthelmes’ chapter discusses Hanoi street vendors who creatively navigate the governing practices of city officials.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is aimed at providing new insights into the perception and determinants of municipal solid waste behaviour. A quantitative data set was obtained and analyzed by directly interviewing 579 urban households in in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta stratified by urban-type level. Binary Probit model and OLS regression indicate the significant influences of urbanization level, organization membership, the concern to environmental status, and education level of households. Finally, results reveal that the municipal solid waste recycling level can be significantly increased by motivating urban households' incentives; therefore, policymakers in Vietnam as well as in developing countries should also provide more incentive to households by subsidizing the recycled materials (i.e., paper and unusable metal) and well-managed informal recycling systems including itinerant waste buyers.

Full textAbstract:
Language change and contact in Vietnam has recently intensified among some demographic groups. As such, certain sociolinguistic patterns help to describe these changes in language and society. This study is aimed at observing and measuring dialect change in Vietnam influenced by urbanization, with evidence from a rural community in Hanoi, a speech community in Xuan Canh commune, Dong Anh district. The study investigates the ways in which dialect change in this region has developed according to specific social and cultural factors. The Xuan Canh speech community evidences a narrowing usage of local variants. For its method, the study employs fieldwork, and subsequent quantitative methods to aid in the analysis. The data set includes 34 informants, randomly selected, which were categorized into certain social variables. The study also released 34 questionnaires, 11 recorded files of natural speech, from which emerged two sets of 34 recorded files of word lists and a text. The results indicate a gradual reduction in the frequency of use of local variants, a decrease in the number of lexical forms with rural characteristics, and an increase in certain types of urban variants. This trend can be seen by observing changing social variables sensitive to urbanization, such as youths, officials, students, and hence people who have out-community communication scope. Here, the quantitative correlations prove statistically significant. The state of dialect change in this community thus signifies a phenomenon common to Vietnamese rural communities under the effect of the urbanization; that is, a tendency following language urbanization in Vietnam.

Full textAbstract:
In 2018, the world population is around 7.6 billion, 4.2 billion in urban settlements and 3.4 billion in rural areas. Of this total, according to UN-Habitat, 3.2 billion of urban inhabitants live in southern countries. Of them, one billion, or nearly a third, live in slums. Urban poverty is therefore an endemic problem that has not been solved despite all initiatives taken to date by public and private sectors. This global transformation of our contemporary societies is particularly challenging in Asia and Africa, knowing that on these two continents, less than half of the population currently lives in urban areas. In addition, over the next decades, 90% of the urbanization process will take place in these major regions of the world. Urban planning is not an end in itself. It is a way, human and technological, to foresee the future and to act in a consistent and responsible way in order to guarantee the wellbeing of the populations residing in cities or in their peripheries. Many writers and urban actors in the South have criticized the inadequacy of urban planning to the problems faced by the cities confronting spatial and demographic growth. For many of them the reproduction of Western models of planning is ineffective when the urban context responds to very different logics. It is therefore a question of reinventing urban planning on different bases. And in order to address the real problems that urban inhabitants and authorities are facing, and offering infrastructures and access to services for all, this with the prospect of reducing poverty, to develop a more inclusive city, with a more efficient organization, in order to make it sustainable, both environmental than social and economic. The field work carried out during recent years in small and medium-sized cities in Burkina Faso, Brazil, Argentina and Vietnam allows us to focus the attention of specialists and decision makers on intermediate cities that have been little studied but which are home to half of the world's urban population. From local diagnoses, we come to a first conclusion. Many small and medium-sized cities in the South can be considered as poor cities, from four criteria. They have a relatively large percentage of the population is considered to be poor; the local government and its administration do not have enough money to invest in solving the problems they face; these same authorities lack the human resources to initiate and manage an efficient planning process; urban governance remains little open to democratic participation and poorly integrates social demand into its development plans. Based on this analysis, we consider it is imperative to renovate urban planning as part of a more participatory process that meets the expectations of citizens with more realistic criteria. This process incorporates different stages: an analysis grounded on the identification of urban investment needed to improve the city; the consideration of the social demands; a realistic assessment of the financial resources to be mobilized (municipal budget, taxes, public and international external grants, public private partnership); a continuous dialogue between urban actors to determine the urban priorities to be addressed in the coming years. This protocol serves as a basis for comparative studies between cities in the South and a training program initiated in Argentina for urban actors in small and medium sized cities, which we wish to extend later to other countries of the South
