Impact of the Hue city water environment improvement project on ambient environment: a household's opinions approach

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the effect of the Hue city Water Environment Improvement project on the surrounding environment. Based on the survey data of households living on the roads where the project is implemented in Vinh Ninh ward and the Binary Logistic regression, the research results show that the natural and social environment has been greatly affected during the project’s implementation. From the household’s viewpoint , the main agents  causing these impacts are dust and emissions from excavation and material transportation; delay in the return of construction site; lack of warning signals and protection fence in the construction areas while wastewater from project activities has no influence. After completing this project, local people have received some positive outcomes such as improving the landscape and traffic situation, better drainage capacity, and the improvement in flooded roads.
