The Comprehensive Urban Development Programme in Hanoi Capital City (HAIDEP) Final Report MAIN TEXT 4 HANOI’S ROLE IN THE REGION 4.1 Approach 1) Background and Objectives Hanoi’s development is greatly affected by degrees of integration at both the regional and international levels in terms of trade, economy, and infrastructures. While this holds true for other provinces in the region as well, development among the provinces must also be coordinated and integrated with each other to synergize their respective strengths and effectively overcome weaknesses. To ensure that Hanoi’s urban development will be an integral part of the national urban policy and regional development framework, existing policies and plans related to Hanoi’s urban development were reviewed and development directions at the regional level has been proposed. The Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDP) for 2001-2010 is the Vietnamese government’s major policy document on national development. Based on this strategy, the SEDS Five Year Plan 2001-2005 was formulated to ensure Vietnam a comprehensive and an integrated economic and physical development. The SEDP is prepared at different administrative levels, from the national to the commune. The SEDP puts emphasis on economic development along with the improvement and the enhancement of socio-economic conditions and infrastructures. The SEDP also underscores poverty reduction as one of its main priorities and goals. To achieve the SEDP goals, a variety of sectoral programs and projects has been implemented, including the launching of the government’s Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy (CPRGS) with the people’s participation and the international donors’ support. The SEDP aims to reduce poverty through a comprehensive economic development approach and goal setting. Regional planning has been done for six regions in the country, with the envisioned economic development to be achieved through the strengthening of infrastructure. Particularly, transportation linkage is considered as the most important factor in socio-economic development. 2) Study Areas Currently, there are three regions which cover slightly different areas in the Northern Vietnam as follows: (a) Red River Delta: This is one of eight (8) national subregions and comprises nine (9) provinces located in the delta area with Hanoi as the northernmost province. The area covers 12,632km2 and has a population of 15.4 million. (b) Northern Focal Economic Zone (NFEZ): Vietnam is also divided into six economic zones of which the NFEZ is a planning area for social and economic development for Hanoi Region. It comprises eight (8) provinces, covers an area 15.287km2, and has a population of 13.2 million. (c) Hanoi Metropolitan Area (HMA): This includes Hanoi City and seven surrounding provinces. The area covers 13,379km2 and has a population of 12 million. Since Hanoi is included in all of the above three regional planning classifications, the HAIDEP study area includes all the provinces and also additional three neighboring provinces of Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen, and Bac Giang. It covers 16 provinces in total and an area of 32,730km2 , with a population of 22.1 million (see Table 4.1.1 and Figure 4.1.1). 4-1 The Comprehensive Urban Development Programme in Hanoi Capital City (HAIDEP) Final Report MAIN TEXT Figure 4.1.1 Coverage of Regional Plans and HAIDEP 200 km 150 km 100 km Thai Nguyen 50 km Vinh Phuc 30 km Bac Giang Phu Tho Quang Ninh Bac Ninh Hanoi Hai Duong Ha Tay Hung Yen Hai Phong Hoa Binh Ha Nam Thai Binh HAIDEP Study Area (16 provinces) Nam Dinh Hanoi Metropolitan Area (HMA) Plan Ninh Binh Area (8 provinces) Northern Focal Economic Zone (NFEZ) Plan Area (8 provinces) Red River Delta Plan Area (9 provinces) Table 4.1.1 Study Areas of Existing Plans and HAIDEP Provinces Existing Plans HAIDEP (♦ Cities) HMA1) NFEZ2) RRD3) Study Area Hanoi ♦ O O O O Hai Phong ♦ O O O Vinh Phuc O O O Ha Tay O O O O Bac Ninh O O O Hai Duong O O O O Hung Yen O O O O Ha Nam O O O Nam Dinh O O Thai Binh O O Ninh Binh O O Thai Nguyen O Phu Tho O Bac Giang O Quang Ninh O O Hoa Binh O O No. of Provinces 8 8 9 16 Source: Construction Law No 16/2003 / Decree 08/2005/ Circular 15/2005/TT-BXD. 4-2 The Comprehensive Urban Development Programme in Hanoi Capital City (HAIDEP) Final Report MAIN TEXT Table 4.1.2 Profile of Study Area Hanoi Whole Items Unit HMA NFEZ RRD-mp HAIDEP City Country No. of Cites and Provinces - 1c 1c+7p 2c+6p 2c+7p 2c+14p 5c+59p Covered Area sq. km 921 13,376 15,287 12,629 36,252 329,297 Population Density 2003 pers/sq. km 3,265 898 865 1,230 646 246 Total Population 2003 000 persons 3,007 12,015 13,217 15,529 23,433 80,902 Urban Population 2003 000 persons 1,834 2,818 3,752 3,623 5,076 20,870 Urbanization Rate % 61 23.5 28.4 23.3 21.7 25.8 Land Use Forestry 7.2 20.6 21.3 7.2 27.0 36.6 Composition Agriculture % 46.1 42.7 38.3 58.4 35.9 28.6 2002 Homestead 12.8 4.8 4.4 6.3 3.7 1.4 Governmental City 1 1 2 2 2 5 No. of Cities Provincial City Unit - 1 2 2 4 22 and Towns Urban Town - 8 10 8 17 61 Source: General Statistical Book, Vietnam.

That year the population in NFEZ was 29 million, making up 36% of the country’s total population. Sixty percent (60%) of the population in NFEZ was concentrated in the Red River Delta. In comparison, the population of HAIDEP’s study area was 22 million, or 27% of the whole country and 76% of NFEZ. Hanoi’s population was three million (13.6% of HAIDEP) in the same year. Growth rates of population are 0.8% per year for the study area, while 1.7% for Hanoi which is equivalent to that of HCMC (see Table 2.1.1). Based on the projection by the Ministry of Construction (MOC), the region will have a population of 26 million in 2010 and 30 million in 2020. (a) Population Density Of the subregions in Vietnam, the Red River Delta has the highest population density with 1,180 persons/km2 compared to the national average of 231 persons/km2. The average population density in Hanoi Region (study area) was 961 persons/km2 (2003). The population density varies between the provinces with Hanoi having the highest of 3,265 persons/km2 and Hoa Binh with the lowest of 170 persons/km2.

The islands are mainly formed from carbonate (limestone), intrusive igneous rock, sedimentary and volcanic rocks, in which limestone islands predominate, distributed mainly in the Gulf of Tonkin. This paper presents the results of researches and assessments on sea water quality of Vietnam's typical limestone islands and archipelagoes through the 2017-2018 surveys. The research results show that although the water quality around of limestone and archipelago area of Vietnam is safety for the development of aquatic life, an increase in pollutants concentration in water has been recorded when compared to previous research results. The research results supplement the data set of sea water quality in limestone areas that defining the characteristics of marine biodiversity.

    Local Rule of Đại Việt Under the Lý Dynasty: Evolution of a Charter Polity After the Tang-Song Transition in East Asia

    Asian Review of World Histories 1:1 (January 2013), 45-84 © 2013 The Asian Association of World Historians doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12773/arwh.2013.1.1.045 Local Rule of Đại Việt under the Lý Dynasty: Evolution of a Charter Polity after the Tang-Song Transition in East Asia MOMOKI Shiro Osaka University Osaka, Japan [email protected] Abstract Empirical research into Đại Việt before the 14th century has made little pro- gress since the 1990s. To improve this situation, I here examine how the Lý dynasty (1009-1226), the first long-lasting dynasty of Đại Việt, established stable local ruleafter the “Tang-Song Transition” in China that changed the entire picture of East Asia (including both Southeast and Northeast Asia). This paper focuses on two issues. First are the local administrative units and their governors. The nature of both higher units like lộ (circuits), phủ and châu (provinces), and basic units like hương and giáp (districts?) will be examined. Second, I examine non-institutional channels of local rule by the imperial family. By combining such administrative and non-administrative means, the Lý central court enforced a considerably stable local rule for two centuries. Finally, I attempt some preliminary comparisons with the local rule of Goryeo (918-1392) in the Korean peninsula, a polity that shared many features with Đại Việt in the process of localization of the Tang and Song models. I hope this approach of viewing small empires from the standpoint not of their “goal” (modern states) but of their “start” (charter polities), will enrich the discussion of East Asian small empires.

It is home to many ethnic minorities with rich and unique traditional cultural values. During the development process, especially in the renovation years, ethnic minorities in the Northeastern provinces have united, attached and jointly developed socio-economic, hunger eradication and poverty alleviation, create livelihoods, step by step create positive changes in all aspects of social life. Despite many advantages, the Northeastern provinces are still one of the poorest regions compared to other regions in the whole country. In the past years, our Party and State have promulgated many guidelines and policies prioritizing socio-economic development in ethnic minority area in general and the Northeastern region in particular. As a result, the socio-economic in the Northeastern mountainous region has achieved important results. However, in the development process, many problems have arisen in the socio-economic field, directly affecting the poverty reduction for ethnic minorities in the Northeastern region. Therefore, in the coming time, it is necessary to have appropriate and timely solutions to promote sustainable economic development in this region so that the Northeastern region can be fully integrated into the world economy.

    Chapter 8 Present Situation and Development Plans of Major Sea Ports 8.1 Major sea ports 8.1.1 Hai Phong Port (1) Outline Hai Phong Port is located on the right bank of Cam River and 20 nautical miles (37km) from buoy zero. The port was initially opened by the French in 1879. Hai Phong Port is a nodal point of inter-modal transportation consisting of road (Highway No. 5), inland waterway (corridors 1 & 2) and railway transport. Cargo throughput of Hai Phong Port has been increasing rapidly and reached 7.6 million tons in 2000 (export: 1.2, import: 3.6, domestic: 2.8), which is the highest cargo throughput among the ports in the Northern region. As to port facilities, Hai Phong Port has 17 berths (6 berths for container) with total length of 1,700m (930m for container) and maximum depth of -8.5m (for container). Besides, roadsteads (anchorage area) are located at Bach Dang (3), Hon Gai (9) and Lan Ha (3) for lighterage operation. Tidal range is 3.9m. (2) Current Problems of Hai Phong Port - The depth of the access channel is shallow (current depth: -4.5m) due to alluvium deposit. The vessel over 15,000DWT must be lightened at the anchorage area (roadstead) before berthing. Some 50 vessels (total handling cargo: 0.6 million tons) conducted the lighterage operation in 2001. This increases the handling charges and other expenses. - The maintenance dredging at a published depth in front of berths is insufficient due to lack of fund for maintenance, although mid-way channel is managed and maintained by Vietnam Marine Safety Bureau.

    1100 Spaatz Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-7102 www.nationalmuseum.af.mil Southeast Asia War: Rolling Thunder – 34 Although the U.S. Air Force began sending advisory personnel to South Vietnam in 1961, and carried out combat missions in South Vietnam shortly thereafter, U.S. forces did not initially strike North Vietnam. The North Vietnamese Navy attack in the Tonkin Gulf in August 1964, however, led to retaliatory raids by U.S. Navy aircraft. The U.S. Air Force made its first strike against North Vietnam on February 8, 1965, in response to a Viet Cong attack against Pleiku Air Base, South Vietnam. OPERATION ROLLING THUNDER: 1965-1968 On March 2, 1965, the U.S. Air Force began a systematic bombing campaign against North Vietnam named ROLLING THUNDER. Planners hoped to provide a morale boost to South Vietnamese forces, interdict the flow of supplies going south and discourage North Vietnamese aggression. Flying from bases in South Vietnam and Thailand, the U.S. Air Force started hitting targets near the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, between North and South Vietnam. By advancing the target areas northward across North Vietnam, planners intended to apply gradual pressure and halt bombing raids as incentives to negotiate. Sanctuaries and Bombing Halts To avoid the possible entrance of Chinese or Soviet forces into the conflict, Washington tightly controlled these bombing operations. Limitations included no bombing in the “sanctuaries” around Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam, Haiphong, North Vietnam’s main port, and a buffer zone along the Chinese border. Moreover, many types of targets remained off limits early in the campaign, including enemy airfields, surface-to-air missile, or SAM, sites and petroleum facilities.

    Assessment of Soil Liquefaction Potential Based on SPT Values at Some Ground Profiles in the North Central Coast of Vietnam

    Nu et al. Iraqi Journal of Science, 2021, Vol. 62, No. 7, pp: 2222-2238 DOI: 10.24996/ijs.2021.62.7.12 ISSN: 0067-2904 Assessment of Soil Liquefaction Potential Based on SPT Values at Some Ground Profiles in the North Central Coast of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Nu*, Nguyen Thanh Duong, Bui Truong Son Department of Engineering Geology, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Viet Nam Received: 52/2/2020 Accepted: 23/7/2020 Abstract The North Central Coast of Vietnam has a wide distribution of loose sand which is often exposed on the surface. The thickness changes from a few meters to over ten meters. This sand with the loose state can be sensitive to the dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, traffic load, or machine foundations. It can be liquefied under these loadings, which might destroy the ground and buildings. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is widely used in engineering practice and its values can be useful for the assessment of soil liquefaction potential. Thus, this article presents some ground profiles in some sites in the North Central Coast of Vietnam and determines the liquefaction potential of sand based on SPT and using three parameters, including the Factor of Safety against Liquefaction (FSLIQ), Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), and Liquefaction Severity Number (LSN). The research results show that the FSLIQ, LPI, and LSN values depend on the depth of sand samples and the SPT values. In this study, the sand distributed from 2.0 to 18.0m with (N1)60cs value of less than 20 has high liquefaction potential with FSLIQ<1, LPI is often higher than 0.73, and LSN is often higher than 10.
