Resilient land use planning for resilient cities in Vietnam - issues and opinions for implementation
Abstract
Resilient land-use planning (RLUP) is a key factor to land use decisions and zoning extensions. A better land-use management and integrated urban planning strategy, involving all levels of governance and local communities are essential to improve the current and future resilience and overall adaptive capacity of vulnerable urban regions in emerging Asia, especially for urban areas in Vietnam. This paper describes the essential elements of resilient land-use planning for climate change and hazard mitigation. The prospects and challenges to implement RLUP into the practical context of cities in Vietnam are analyzed and evaluated. This paper also highlights the approach of RLUP as well as the process of mainstreaming RLUP to urban planning so that it will be more resilient to natural hazards throughout some practical examples already implemented in Vietnam.
Keywords: Resilient land-use planning, disaster risk, climate change, Vietnam.
