Article 1. To approve the Program on review of new countryside construction plannings, with the following principal contents:

I. OBJECTIVES

1. New countryside construction plannings must be in line with local and regional socio­economic development plannings and sectoral development plannings, closely associated with orientations on the development of the urban system and economic regions and conformable with the set of national criteria for new countryside. These plannings must clearly determine development orientations, identify specific characteristics of each rural area, properly address the relationship between immediate construction and long-term development and between renovation and construction, and suit local economic development and actual income levels of people.

2. New countryside construction plannings must be elaborated with the participation of local people and communities from the proposal of planning ideas to mobilization of capital, organization of implementation and construction management.

3. New countryside construction pfennings must be coordinated, take into account investment capital sources and local socio­economic conditions and set forth orientations and solutions for investment in the construction of technical and social infrastructure facilities and protection of the environment in residential areas so as to minimize the effects of natural disasters, flooding and weak soil foundation.

4. New countryside construction plannings must ensure the development of a modern and civilized countryside while maintaining cultural identities and fine traditions and customs of each region and each ethnic group, stabilizing people's lives, maintaining and preserving heritages, promoting intangible cultural values and adapting to natural disaster conditions.

II. OBJECTIVES

1. By 2011. rural construction plannings will basically cover all localities nationwide for use as a basis for investment in new countryside construction and realization of the national target of new countryside construction during 2010-2020.

III. CONTENTS AND TASKS

1. Grounds for elaboration of rural construction plannings

Rural construction planning schemes must be elaborated based on approved urban construction plannings. If these plannings are not yet available, rural construction plannings shall be elaborated on the basis of socio-economic development master plans of provinces and districts, land use plannings or local socio-economic development programs and strategies.

2. Contents of rural construction planning schemes

a/ Drawing topographical maps

Rural construction plannings will be elaborated based on topographical maps. In case no topographical map is available, cadastral maps may be used but these maps must be added with altitudes or be of a scale larger than that prescribed for rural construction planning schemes.

b/ Making plannings for existing rural residential areas which are to be renovated or embellished

Based on criteria in the set of national criteria for new countryside, to evaluate existing plannings on the use of residential land, land in communal centers. land for the construction of production and production service establishments, land for the construction of socio­economic infrastructure facilities and land areas for other purposes (defense, tourism, historical relics) in order to determine areas which are stably used in conformity with the plannings and will be maintained, land areas which have been stably used but need to be embellished or renovated and those to be changed in use purposes or be constructed.

Planning contents will focus on re-arrangement of functional spaces, transport networks and key technical infrastructure facilities under which the relocation of inhabitants must be closely associated with the improvement of the socio-economic infrastructure system and the upgrading of the technical infrastructure system; houses and public facilities which are renovated, upgraded or built must match the historical and architectural values of existing works and conform with cultural and ethnical identities of each region and each ethnic group: new spaces of a traditional village must be arranged within its inherent entirety.

c/ Making plannings for new rural residential areas (resettlement zones, relocation zones and new economic zones under key projects).

These plannings must clearly state requirements on the selection of land plots and division of functional areas, and comprise plannings on residential areas and communal centers; plannings on areas for craft industries, husbandry, aquaculture and industry, plannings on greeneries and water surfaces and plannings on technical infrastructure facilities (electricity, roads, water supply and drainage and cemeteries).

d/ Specifications for the presentation of planning contents

Planning contents will be presented in a planning scheme. Planning contents may be consolidated into a single planning drawing which, however, must present all necessary contents of the planning scheme.

e/ Application of new countryside construction planning models

When elaborating rural construction plannings. it is necessary to study and refer to new countryside construction planning models already established for different areas, localities and regions nationwide so as to ensure conformity with specific local conditions.

3. The schedule and order of priority in elaboration of rural construction plannings

b/ In 2011:

- To continue elaborating construction plannings for communes without construction plannings in provinces where dynamic development areas such as economic zones and industrial parks are planned to be established in the future: communes with agricultural production potentials such as those with farm-produce processing centers, areas under specialty plants and animals, traditional craft villages, and areas with tourism potential.
