“…As a result of all these measures, the Vietnamese housing market has been growing and housing stocks have dramatically The self-building trend had a positive side in the sense of providing affordable and accessible housing for low-and middle-income segments but it resulted in uncontrolled urban sprawl which has been pervasive in the suburban districts of peripheral areas ( Figure 4). More than 90% of these self-constructed housing units were built in the 1990s without obeying building guidelines and regulations [2]. Large amounts of self-built housing were organically created to maximize their own private spaces and the fast pace of development resulted in serious urban densification and pressure on infrastructure and transportation planning in HCMC.…”

“…It resulted in a remarkable increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam and became a significant factor for economic growth in industrial manufacturing development. The phenomenon was especially observed in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Hanoi, and their peri-urban areas with enormous inflows from rural areas [2]. Nationally, the urban proportion of the population increased from 20.5% in 1990 to 34.7% in 2017 [3].…”

Since the initiation of Vietnam's Doi Moi policy in 1986, the rate of urbanization has rapidly increased with a great influx of immigrants from rural areas. With such migration becoming a large acceleration factor for urban growth, the shortage of housing has become a critical problem in the cities. The Vietnamese government encouraged self-built housing and public-private partnerships to produce different types of housing stock. There are few available academic studies about housing choice in Vietnam to help understand movement dynamics and to foster sustainable housing development. The purpose of this study is to analyze housing choice and moving determinants in Ho Chi Minh City, and thereby establish recommendations for sustainable housing development in Vietnam. For an empirical study, a citizen questionnaire survey was conducted in HCMC and an in-depth analysis was carried out. The results indicate that the row house type for single-family housing is strongly preferred, but a preference for apartments is also observed for future planning. The factors influencing housing choice and movement are family income, housing ownership, housing typology, and commuting environment. These phenomena suggest that the government should prudently consider affordable housing development in many districts. The results of this study will help to establish policies for sustainable housing development in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

“…In transitional socialist countries, such as China and Vietnam, economic reform has gradually moved towards marketization, but ambiguous boundaries between the state, market, and society enable the state to retain considerable power over new market institutions [18][19][20][21]. McGee (2009) argues that urbanization in both China and Vietnam should be seen as a hybrid space production process, that has certain characteristics of socialist societies but that includes the market logics of capital circulation and accumulation [18].…”

“…McGee (2009) argues that urbanization in both China and Vietnam should be seen as a hybrid space production process, that has certain characteristics of socialist societies but that includes the market logics of capital circulation and accumulation [18]. In Vietnam, the emergence of property markets involves non-public actors who participate in the construction of the built environment, while the state maintains control over development through policy instruments such as planning, regulation, and land provision [21,22].…”

State Control Versus Hybrid Land Markets: Planning and Urban Development in Transitional Hanoi, Vietnam

During the post-reform period since 1986, land-use systems in Vietnam have been reformed in terms of the regulation of land markets and the built environment. This study analyzes the changing role of urban planning and the policy of state intervention in land markets to manage spatial changes in Vietnamese cities. Theoretical and empirical approaches are used to analyze urban development and planning practices in Hanoi. The study further describes the constraints of planning systems in hybrid land markets that include both formal and informal land development. We argue that in Vietnam, where the role of the state in market construction has not been fully developed and land market institutions are incomplete, urban planning is used as a passive tool of state control and is no longer relevant to the process of spatial development, which is driven by the speculative activities of interest actors. This situation challenges state regulations for the effective management of spatial resources. The empirical results suggest the utility of further reforms to the land-use system and planning institutions in Vietnam, and of strengthening the capacity of the state in land administration.

Nature-based tourism is a global phenomenon, with traditional forms of use of natural areas, such as wood harvesting and agriculture, paving the way for ecotourism. However, there has been limited exploration of the role of institutions in driving this transition. Consequently, this paper sought to explore the role of institutions in producing space for tourism within National Forest Parks (NFPs) in China. To achieve this objective 68 nationallevel policy documents from 1949 to 2014 were collected and analyzed. Findings demonstrate a transformation in the role of NFPs, orchestrated by the state, capital and society for tourism. In particular, NFPs, as an ideological space in national development, were not only an outcome of economic, social, political, and ecological processes, but also balanced the power between the state, capital and society. Institutional changes mirrored the dynamic relationship between the state, capital and society in China. Future research should focus on the role of institutions in producing space for tourism for and within parks at the local level, especially in developing contexts.
