Strategic Environmental Assessment for port areas of Hai Phong and Vung Tau (Vietnam)

Quynh Le Xuan; Hieu VU VAN; Luc Hens

Abstract

Strategic Environmental Assessment is a tool to mainstream environmental sustainability in development planning. The approach offers a crosscutting perspective and adopts an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. It integrates the concepts of sustainability in strategic decision-making for projects, programmes or policies and aims to propose alternative development plans and decision-making criteria to facilitate sustainable choices. SEA is applied in port areas to assess the integrated and cumulative impacts of current and future port development on society, economics and the environment. In Vietnam, SEA is applied to the port areas in Hai Phong in the North and Vung Tau in the South. A comparison between both studies reveals that different environmental and sustainability issues are related to the strategic development plans of both port areas. The poster will present the comparison and the most dominant results of the SEA studies.
