Assessing state management of the environment in Thanh Sơn district, Phu Tho province

Abstract

Nowadays, environmental protection has been an urgent topic of interest to society. Along with the strong growth of the global economy, the sources of harm to the environment are increasing significantly. This not only puts pressure on urban areas but also has a great influence on rural areas Vietnam. Thanh Son is mainly an agricultural district where the rural areas account for over 90% of the natural areas and over 80% of the district's population living (in 2019). The environmental protection, garbage collection, transportation and treatment of domestic wastes to ensure environmental sanitation in particular are paid more attention and monitored by the District Party Committee and People's Council, which is the main target in socio-economic development and in the Resolution of the district Party Congress. However, the process of socio-economic development has posed many challenging problems, including serious environmental pollution in rural areas. Domestic wastes from plantation and animal husbandry activities of households have not been thoroughly treated. In addition, planning and state management activities are still limited as communes do not have places to collect and treat wastewater and other kinds of wastes, etc. Some communes in the district have difficult terrain to travel, and the system of branch roads has not been developed. The study aims to clarify the status of state management of the environment in Thanh Son district, thereby proposing 7 groups of solutions to improve the effectiveness of state management of the environment in Thanh Son district, Phu Tho province in the future.
