INTRODUCTION The guidebook COMING HOME TO VIETNAM was commissioned by the British Embassy in Vietnam and developed in collaboration with the Centre for Training and Community Development (CTD). Aiming at supporting the successful rehabilitation and reintegration of Vietnamese returnees into the local community, it provides useful information on opportunities and services that Vietnamese returnees can access upon their return. Sponsored by the British Government, this guidebook was developed by CTD, with valuable inputs from the British Embassy in Vietnam. The guidebook includes, but is not limited to, useful information about the process of return and reintegration of Vietnamese returnees, through stages of pre-departure, on the way home, arrival in the hometown and resettlement in the local community. In addition, the guidebook introduces basic knowledge and understanding of safe and unsafe migration, risks of irregular migration (including human trafficking) as well as good tips for you, your families and your friends to enjoy positive migration experiences, both within and outside Vietnam. The guidebook will also be useful for Vietnamese returnees from different countries. 3 Error! Unknown document property name. BEFORE RETURNING TO VIETNAM 1.

  • The Story of New Urban Areas in Can Tho City

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.

The USD 62,56- million project will include lengthening and rehabilitation of the runway, the installation of new navigational aids, and enlargement of the passenger terminal. About USD 44 million will be used for the maintenance and rehabilitation of the runway and to extend it by 615 meters (2,000 feet). This will enable the airport to receive heavier and larger aircraft such as the Airbus 330. It will open the airport not only to flights to and from neighbouring countries but also to countries as far away as Peru. The project will be completed in February 2020 and is part of a larger program to upgrade the nation’s airports (see next article below).
