Definition of Terms

  • Affected Persons
  • In the context of involuntary resettlement, Affected Persons (AP)

are those who are physically relocated (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood) as a result of (i) involuntary expropriation of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. In the case of affected household, it includes all members residing under one roof and operating as a single economic unit, who are adversely affected by a project or any of its components.

  • Cut-off date
  • This refers to the date prior to which the occupation or use of the

project area makes residents/users of the same eligible to be categorized as AP. Persons not covered in the census are not eligible for compensation and other entitlements, unless they can show proof that (i) they have been inadvertently missed out during the census and the DMS; or (ii) they have lawfully acquired the affected assets following completion of the census and the DMS and prior to the conduct of the detailed measurement survey (DMS).
Detailed
Measurement Survey (DMS)
This is the process where all fixed assets (i.e. lands used for residence, commerce, agriculture, including ponds; dwelling units; stalls and shops; secondary structures, such as fences, tombs, wells; trees with commercial value; etc.) and sources of income and livelihood inside the Project right-of-way (ROW) are measured, detailed survey, level of lose identified and list of affected people as well as their replacement costs calculated. Additionally, the severity of impact to the affected assets and the severity of impact to the livelihood and productive capacity of APs will be determined.

The thesis examines how HPWSCo tackled the typical problems of a developing country's municipal water supply company and succeeded in the eyes of the consumers, the local and national governments, and the wider development community. The thesis describes how and under what conditions HPWSCo has changed itself from a poorly performing utility to a successful one.

Ky Quang Vinh -Climate Change Coordination Office -CCCO Can Tho, Arch.Nguyen Thi Anh Ngoc- Can Tho City Center for Inspection and Construction Planning, MSc. Tran The Nhu Hiep-Can Tho City Institute of Socio-Economic Development Studies, MSc. LeThu Trang-National University of Civil Engineering, Arch.Tran Kieu Dinh-Can Tho City Association of Architects. 1. Introduction The Mekong Delta (MKD), in which Can Tho City is located, occupies a low-lying region in the center of South Hau River (Bassac River). The MKD is predicted to be one of the three most vulnerable deltas in the world caused by climate change. The topography of the city is flat and low with a height of 0,5-1m above sea level. Along Hau River, national highway 1 and national highway 91, the land raises to a height of 1,0-1,5m above sea level which has developed into the city center. From Hau River, the land is gradually lower in Northeast- Southwest direction. Seasonal flooding is a typical natural characteristic of the MKD and Can Tho City. Rainy season often starts from May to November with highest rainfalls recorded from August to October at the same time of high flow discharge from upstream which annually creates “Mùa nước nổi” (water moving season). “Mùa nước nổi” provides livelihood the benefits of natural aquatic products and transports sediments to the fields, thus act as a natural mechanism of fertility recovery.

Generally, there is a large potential for circular economy in the city as the main proportion of the waste flows are recyclables. Due to the missing selective collection system, this potential is not used in the full extend yet, even if the collection of the entire waste volumes is envisaged in the National Waste Management Strategy by 2025.

The list is by no means exclusive. Many of the international medical facilities have foreign English-speaking doctors on staff. The U.S. Consulate General bears no responsibility for the quality of care or service at any of these facilities. Please be aware that medical care in Vietnam, even in Ho Chi Minh City, is considerably below U.S. standards. Sometimes, even routine injuries or conditions may require medical evacuation to a regional medical center with higher standards. The telephone country code for Vietnam is 84. Dưới đây là danh sách một số phòng khám, bệnh viện Việt Nam và quốc tế tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và các tỉnh thành. Danh sách này không liệt kê đầy đủ tất cả các cơ sở. Nhiều cơ sở y khoa quốc tế có bác sĩ người nước ngoài nói tiếng Anh. Tổng Lãnh sự Hoa Kỳ không chịu trách nhiệm về chất lượng chăm sóc y tế hay chất lượng dịch vụ tại bất kỳ cơ sở nào trong danh sách này. Xin lưu ý điều kiện chăm sóc y tế ở Việt Nam, ngay cả tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, thấp hơn các tiêu chuẩn của Hoa Kỳ khá nhiều. Đôi khi, ngay cả những chấn thương hay tình trạng sức khỏe thường gặp vẫn phải được chuyển đến một trung tâm y tế trong khu vực với các tiêu chuẩn cao hơn.

    Vietnam 2019 Human Rights Report

    VIETNAM 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an authoritarian state ruled by a single party, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), and led by General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, and Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan. The most recent National Assembly elections, held in 2016, were neither free nor fair, despite limited competition among CPV-vetted candidates. The Ministry of Public Security is responsible for internal security and controls the national police, a special national security investigative agency, and other internal security units. The Vietnam People’s Army aids civilian authorities to provide relief in times of natural disaster. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government; forced disappearance; torture by government agents; arbitrary arrests and detentions by the government; political prisoners; significant problems with the independence of the judiciary; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; the worst forms of restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including arbitrary arrest and prosecution of government critics, censorship, site blocking, and criminal libel laws; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; significant restrictions on freedom of movement including exit bans on activists; restrictions on political participation; significant acts of corruption; outlawing of independent trade unions; trafficking in persons; and use of compulsory child labor. The government occasionally took corrective action, including prosecutions, against officials who violated the law, but police officers and state officials generally acted with impunity.
