  • Rural–Urban Transition of Hanoi (Vietnam): Using Landsat Imagery to Map Its Recent Peri-Urbanization
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Rural–Urban Transition of Hanoi (Vietnam): Using Landsat Imagery to Map Its Recent Peri-Urbanization Giovanni Mauro Department of Humanities, University of Trieste, via Lazzaretto Vecchio 8, 34100 Trieste, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +(39)-040-5583631 Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 11 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Abstract: The current trend towards global urbanization presents new environmental and social challenges. For this reason, it is increasingly important to monitor urban growth, mainly in those regions undergoing the fastest urbanization, such as Southeast Asia. Hanoi (Vietnam) is a rapidly growing medium-sized city: since new economic policies were introduced in 1986, this area has experienced a rapid demographic rise and radical socio-economic transformation. In this study, we aim to map not only the recent urban expansion of Hanoi, but also of its surroundings. For this reason, our study area consists of the districts within a 30km radius of the city center. To analyze the rural–urban dynamics, we identified three hypothetical rings from the center: the core (within a 10 km radius), the first ring (the area between 10 and 20 km) and, finally, the outer zone (over 20 km). To map land use/land cover (LULC) changes, we classified a miniseries of Landsat images, collected approximately every ten years (1989, 2000, 2010 and 2019). To better define the urban dynamics, we then applied the following spatial indexes: the rate of urban expansion, four landscape metrics (the number of patches, the edge length, the mean patch area and the largest patch index) and the landscape expansion index.

  • Vietnamese and Cambodian Refugee Crisis Cecilia Bobbitt, Paige Amico, Emily Poehlein, Sara Seper, Megan Caveny, Bianca Zarrella, Shiqi Lin, Ashley Lamere
    Vietnamese and Cambodian Refugee Crisis Cecilia Bobbitt, Paige Amico, Emily Poehlein, Sara Seper, Megan Caveny, Bianca Zarrella, Shiqi Lin, Ashley LaMere Introduction and Causes of Crisis: The Vietnamese and Cambodian refugee crisis spanned from 1969 to 1973. During the 1960’s, America and Vietnam were participating in the Vietnam War, which, along with internal conflict, was responsible for the displacement of not only Vietnamese but also Cambodian people. Due to the violent conditions from the war, many Vietnamese fled the country. Many were referred to as “boat people” because they escaped by boat on a dangerous trip to refugee camps in neighboring countries like Thailand. The Vietnam war also strongly had an effect on the lives of Cambodian citizens. Cambodia served as a transport route between North and South Vietnam. Cambodia remained neutral during the war; however, they were bombed heavily due to the presence of Vietcong Army bases. In 1975, a communist group called the Khmer Rouge that was led by Pol Pot took control of Cambodia and attempted to create an agrarian utopia. Cities were evacuated and destroyed. 1.5 million Cambodians (~20% of the country’s population) was murdered by the Khmer Rouge. In 1979, the Vietnamese army invaded Cambodia, causing many to flee the country to refugee camps in Thailand. Over 100,000 refugees relocated in the United States.

  • Changes in the Spiritual Life of Vietnamese People Through Traditional Festivals
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 134 Changes In The Spiritual Life Of Vietnamese People Through Traditional Festivals Dang Quang Dinh1, Nguyen Hoang Phuong2, Than Ngoc Anh3 1Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Vietnam 2Academy of Politics Region II, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 3Academy of Politics Region II, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Email: [email protected], [email protected],vn Summary: Among Vietnam's unique folklore treasures, festivals are the most typical cultural area. A festival, which attracts a great deal of interest in social life, is an integrated form of activities including spiritual and material aspects, religious beliefs, arts and culture, the sacred and everyday life, and so on. Out of more than 9000 festivals in Vietnam, about 7000 traditional festivals are widely scattered across the country. Studying changes in the spiritual life of Vietnamese people through traditional festivals contributes to building spiritual life and building an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity. In order to ensure the effective organization and management of festivals, promote the cultural identity and diversity of national festivals, a scientific and comprehensive survey is needed, clarifying origins, characteristics, values, scale, and financial sources for organizing festivals; identifying viewpoints, criteria and classification methods on traditional festivals and modern festivals in our country, chaired by a specialized agency for scientific research. On the basis of the survey findings, the state authorities study and consider which types of festivals need planning, management decentralization, and elaboration of management regulations, mechanisms and policies consistent with the characteristics of traditional festivals and modern festivals.

  • The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications
    ISSUE: 2015 NO.45 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 25 August 2015 The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications Le Hong Hiep* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent visit to Washington by Nguyen Phu Trong, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), may have been praised by both sides as a “historic” landmark in bilateral relations, but in order to gain a more nuanced evaluation of the event, the broader regional context, including recent developments in Vietnam- China and US-China relations, needs to be considered. New dynamics in the Vietnam-US-China relations suggest that, at least in the short run, Vietnam’s relations with the US will continue to improve, while its relations with China will suffer significant setbacks. At the systemic level, intensified strategic competition between China and the US makes Vietnam a natural target for both powers’ diplomatic manoeuvres. However, due to the South China Sea disputes, Ha Noi is more receptive to a stronger relationship with Washington. At the national level, while the mutual trust between Vietnam and the US has been enhanced in recent years, Vietnam-China relations have been suffering from a burgeoning trust deficit. The fact that national interests have replaced ideological consderations as the key determinant of Vietnam’s foreign policy also tends to favour Washington at the expense of Beijing. Vietnam’s domestic economic and political conditions, such as deepening economic ties with the US and rising anti-China sentiments, are also conducive to improvements in Vietnam-US relations while unfavourable for Ha Noi’s ties with Beijing.

Vietnam is a developing country with an intermixture of cultural heritage and social-economic transformation. In order to achieve the goal of becoming a modernized and industrialized country, the Vietnamese government is setting the development of human resources as priority. In line with the enhancement of advanced industrial knowledge and skills, Vietnamese should be fulfilled with value codes to meet the requirements of the international labour market, to keep the specific ‘Vietnamese’ characters and to develop sustainably. The content of values education should be addressed to be promoted in families, schools and society. It is thus the aim of this paper to explore the Vietnamese values system. The first section of this paper discusses the notions of values and values education. The following section presents a brief outline of the Vietnamese cultural and historical context.

  • Fact Sheet 2: Vietnam – the Place and the People
    Fact sheet 2: Vietnam – the place and the people Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. Vietnam can be described as an ‘S’-shaped country, bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and the South China Sea to the east. In 2007 it had a population of over 87 million, which made it the 13th most populous country in the world. A long, narrow coastal plain links the Red River delta in the north and Mekong River delta in the south. The country is 1650 kilometres from north to south (similar to the length of New Zealand) although Vietnam’s total land area is larger than New Zealand’s. The Annamite Mountains (ãy Trường Sơn) stretch the length of Vietnam and cover about two-thirds of the country. The highest peak is Fan-si-Pan (3143 metres) in the extreme north. Climate The climate of Vietnam can be divided into three distinct zones: the southern lowlands have a tropical climate, the central highlands are wet with a temperate climate, and the mountainous north is cooler. Typhoons can affect the north and central areas between July and November. People Most of Vietnam’s people live in the Red River and Mekong River deltas. Only about 22% of the population lives in urban areas. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is the largest settlement with a population of 4 million, followed by Hanoi, the capital city, with 3 million, and Haiphong with 1.5 million. Around 80% of the population are ethnic Vietnamese.

See the methodology. TOP https://freedomhouse.org/country/vietnam/freedom-world/2020 1/15 5/18/2020 Vietnam | Freedom House Overview Vietnam is a one-party state, dominated for decades by the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). Although some independent candidates are technically allowed to run in legislative elections, most are banned in practice. Freedom of expression, religious freedom, and civil society activism are tightly restricted. The authorities have increasingly cracked down on citizens’ use of social media and the internet. Key Developments in 2019 Arrests, criminal convictions, and physical assaults against journalists, bloggers, and human rights activists continued during the year. Amnesty International reported that the number of prisoners of conscience in Vietnam was up by roughly 33 percent over 2018. A new, tough cybersecurity law that could seriously restrict online speech came into effect in January. The measure forces companies like Facebook and Google to store information about Vietnamese users in Vietnam, potentially making it accessible to state authorities. It also allows the government to block access to content deemed dangerous to national security. Vietnam continued to make some strides in fighting corruption, which has been endemic in the past. The government reported that in 2019 that it had disciplined over 53,000 officials and CPV members for graft, and that multiple senior officials, including two members of the Central Committee, had faced discipline including jail time.
