The meetings underlined the progress made by the provinces on climate change adaptation and mitigation, options for risk reductions in agricultural production, and conversion of crop structure as results of implementing the guidelines of the provinces and the Sector, especially, solutions for reservation and efficient and economic use of water under the context of climate change. This assessment report also reviews some issues related to the agricultural transformation of the region in adapting to risks caused by climate change. They are based on comparative advantages in terms of geographical location and market of key agricultural products. This report also points out shortcomings in using land and unreasonable points in managing and using important natural resources, especially water, and provides recommendations for the agricultural transformation and inter-regional connection with the Central Highlands and the Southeast. The team also introduces climate-related risks maps and adaptation plans (CS MAP) which is applied in the five provinces in the Mekong Delta Region, and hopes this solution’s expansion shall be supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the provinces.

With the aim of identifying factors affecting the development of sustainable tourism in the South Central Coast of Vietnam, the study conducted a typical survey of 160 tourism managers and 240 tourists traveling or have participated in tourism activities of 8 provinces in the South Central Coast of Vietnam, and used the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) analysis and regression analysis for analyzing the data. The research results show that 11 factors impact the development of sustainable tourism in the South Central Coast namely Institutions and policies for tourism development, Infrastructure, Tourism resources, Human resources for tourism, Diversity of tourism services, Relevant support services, Activities of association and cooperation for tourism development, Tourism promotion and encouragement, Tourists’ satisfaction, Local community, and Other factors. At the same time, among the above factors, the factors Institutions and policies for tourism development, Infrastructure, Tourism resources, and Local community strongly impact the development of sustainable tourism in the region.

    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.

  • Spatial Indicators for Desertification in South-East Vietnam
    Spatial indicators for desertification in south-east Vietnam Le Thi Thu Hien1, Anne Gobin2,3, Pham Thi Thanh Huong4 1 Institute of Geography, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), Hanoi, Vietnam 2 Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), Mol, Belgium 5 3 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Bio-Science Engineering, Leuven, Belgium 4 The Vietnam Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Environment (IMHEN), Hanoi, Vietnam Correspondence to: Anne Gobin ([email protected]) Abstract. Desertification is influenced by different factors that relate to climate, soil, topography, geology, vegetation, human pressure and land and water management. The quantification of these factors into spatially explicit indicators and 10 subsequent evaluation provides for a framework that allows to identify areas currently at risk of desertification and to evaluate important contributing bio-physical and socio-economic factors. Based on local knowledge of environmental contributing factors to risk of desertification in the Binh Thuan Province of south-east Vietnam, a baseline 2010 map showed that 14.4% of the area, mainly along the coast and in the north east, is desertified with another 35.4% at severe risk of desertification. The Ministry of Environment has defined the area with a ratio of rainfall to evapotranspiration smaller or 15 equal to 0.65, which equals 1,233 km2 or 15% of the province, as desertified area. The developed framework allows for decision support in a what if structure, and for the projection of potentially vulnerable areas under future scenarios. With projected climate change and current population growth the desertified area is expected to increase with 122% (or 137,850 ha) towards 2050.
