Accordingly, regarding the rearrangement and reorganization of commune-level administrative units, Conclusion No. 137-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat addresses the naming of grassroots administrative units (commune level).
Specifically, the naming of grassroots administrative units after rearrangement shall:
-
Be easy to recognize, concise, and scientifically appropriate;
-
Be encouraged to be named in numerical order or after the name of the pre-rearrangement district-level administrative unit combined with a numerical order to facilitate digitalization and data updating;
-
Reflect historical, traditional, and cultural values and receive support and consensus from local residents.
In addition, when carrying out the rearrangement and reorganization of commune-level administrative units, attention should be paid to:
-
Specific factors such as history, tradition, culture, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, customs, and practices;
-
Geographical location, natural conditions, sub-regional connectivity, and economic development scale;
-
Assurance of national defense, security, transport and information technology infrastructure to serve state management and socio-economic development.
Furthermore, a reasonable correlation among the newly arranged administrative units must be ensured in terms of natural area and population size, avoiding significant disparities, and ensuring that grassroots-level local governments are truly close to and connected with the people.
The rearrangement of commune-level administrative units shall not be confined within the current administrative boundaries of district-level or commune-level units.
