Vietnamese06 STEPS IN THE STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IN PLANS
On January 27, 2011, the Ministry of Construction issued the Circular No. 01/2011/TT-BXD guiding the strategic environmental assessment in construction and urban plans. Accordingly, Strategic environmental assessment means the analysis and forecast of environmental impacts of construction plans before they are approved in order to put forth optimum options of the construction plans, ensuring sustainable development.
Individuals in charge of strategic environmental assessment or appraisal of strategic environmental assessment reports for construction plans must have university or higher degree in construction or technical infrastructure planning and work in the field of planning or environmental protection for at least 5 years; or in environment and work in the field of construction planning for at least 5 years. Individuals performing strategic environmental assessment shall coordinate with construction planning specialists in task formulation, performance of strategic environmental assessment contents and incorporation into construction plans; and take responsibility for the results of analyzing, calculating and forecasting environmental impacts.
The method of conducting strategic environmental assessment in a construction plan involves 06 (six) principal steps: conducting investigations, surveys, information collection, determination of strategic environmental assessment scope; identifying the objectives and main environmental issues related to construction planning; analyzing current environmental conditions and developments when the construction planning is not yet formulated; analyzing environmental developments when the construction planning is implemented; proposing overall solutions to minimize and redress environmental impacts; making a strategic environmental assessment report in the explanation of the construction plan.
