Comprehensive impact assessment development of the Coal field Campha in Vietnam to the coastal territory

Abstract

Quang Ninh is a province in the North of Vietnam, located close to the sea and has high potential for economic development and conservation value with a wide variety of creatures as well as scenery. Coal mining activities in Quang Ninh province have had a great impact on the regional environment, including the coastal zone. Derived from the ability to measure and manipulate various materials and display on maps and drawings of the current status of the coast through time and space, the authors studied and processed the telecommunication data. Recruit multi-time to effectively monitor the variation of the coastal zone in general and the coast of Vietnam in particular, especially due to coal mining activities in Quang Ninh. The research results are important to provide the necessary data and information to support the planning and adjustment of coal production and exploitation in Cam Pha and Quang Ninh, Vietnam.

Ha Long—Cam Pha Cities Evolution Analysis Utilizing Remote Sensing Data

“…Specifically, the recent statistics show that their urban population comprised 76.5% of the total population in 2010, but it reached 88.0% in 2019 [5]. The urban development has interacted with the intensity of coal mining exploitation, causing significant pressures on the environment with many dynamics at the coastal area of Ha Long and Cam Pha cities, such as the expansion of man-made infrastructures [6], the modification of hydrologic network and topographic surface [7], the dissemination of environmental problems such as air pollution, water pollutions, soil degradation [8], and land subsidence hazard [9], etc. Thus, understanding and monitoring urban evolution over a long period in the coastal area of Ha Long and Cam Pha cities are crucial for various purposes such as land management, public service provision, spatial planning, territorial organization, and sustainable objectives achievements [10,11].…”
