The recovery of the land and sea surface used by the company to invest in the interests of the community is agreed by the people and public opinion. However, the progress of the recovery must be dramatic in many localities.

High determination but slow progress

Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) is a seaside town, a famous tourist destination, but for a long time people feel claustrophobic, when there are many licensed projects along the beach.

Ensuring that coastal beaches are shared spaces not only creates opportunities for people, but also helps more tourists use the beach and tourism to better develop, contributing more to the local economy.

The largest project on the east of the Tran Phu Coastal Highway is the Ana Mandara tourist area. Built in 1995, this is a large-scale complex, covering an area of ​​26,000 square meters.two, “Bit” the total length of about 400 m from the coast of Nha Trang. When passing through these works, no one can “see through the wall” to see the beautiful bay.

A dozen steps from Ana Mandara is the Phu Dong park project. The project covers an area of ​​almost 24,000 square meterstwoand assigned by the Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee to Invest Park Nha Company Limited

Page since 2012. Of which 21,772 mtwo no land use fee is collected for the construction of surface works, including green parks, common use roads, public toilets …; The rest of the companies rent, pay annual land fees, to build restaurants and swimming pools. However, so far, the investor has not completed the construction of the park according to the approved design. When the Covid-19 epidemic happened, the project was almost closed, the park became messy, polluted …
Not only on East Tran Phu Street, in 2014 the Nha Trang Sao project was started on the shore of Pham Van Dong Street, raising concerns about the emergence of additional works that separate people from the sea. This project has a total area of ​​103,568 mtwo (of which 44,152 mtwo ground and 59,416 mtwo surface of the water), invested 33 million dollars, with many items such as parks, squares, motel blocks, entertainment works … However, for many years, Nha Trang Sao almost stopped, in place, until now it continues being a vacant lot. People only remember Nha Trang Sao when at the end of 2015, the project of land and rock dumping for embankments and invasion outside the boundary was authorized up to 22,968 mtwo and a fine of 200 million dong.
On March 24, the functional forces carried out law enforcement and land acquisition at the Nha Trang Sao project. At the meeting with departments and branches on the morning of March 24, the Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Tan Tuan, instructed the Planning and Investment Department to urgently review the procedures and advise the Provincial People’s Committee to recover the area of ​​21,772 m2.two land without land use tax in Phu Dong park project, handed over to Nha Trang City People’s Committee for management, to dress up and serve people and tourists.
For the Ana Mandara Resort, at the end of 2020, the Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee decided to reclaim 10,000 square meterstwo Nha Trang Bay sea area, used to contract Sovico Khanh Hoa Co., Ltd to serve guests at this resort. In addition to reclaiming the sea surface to make a public beach, Khanh Hoa province also has a policy of relocating and cleaning the entire Ana Mandara tourist area. Currently, the Provincial People’s Committee has allocated land to investors in the Bai Dai area, north of the Cam Ranh Peninsula, to build new projects. When the first phase of the Ana Mandara Cam Ranh project is completed (scheduled for December 31, 2021), the Ana Mandara complex in Nha Trang must be relocated.
Nha Trang is also adjusting the zoning plan (1 / 2,000 scale) in East Tran Phu – Pham Van Dong, focusing on increasing public space. At that time, those cases that are not suitable for adjustment to the planning, must be dismantled. At the same time, there will be additional facilities such as functional areas, space for performing arts, sports activities … to promote the general value of the entire coastal area, at the service of the community. “As for the beaches and beaches of Nha Trang, now they all serve the community, no one has the right to stop, no company can ‘keep the sand,” Tuan said.
Before Nha Trang, Binh Dinh also had a policy and promoted the relocation of 3 hotels on the east side of An Duong Vuong Street (Quy Nhon City), including Binh Duong Hotel (2 stars), Hai Au (4 stars ). Hoang Yen (4 stars), to obtain coastal land to build a coastal park, at the service of the community. However, implementation progress is also slow. According to Mr. Le Van Tung, Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Binh Dinh Province, by the end of 2020, the province and the Ministry of National Defense agreed on the procedures to relocate the Binh Duong Hotel. The 2 remaining hotels, the province is waiting for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to direct the lease of land for its subsequent management.

“All the maritime space in Quy Nhon Bay is for people to benefit, not to give to any investor, for anyone to go to sea. However, the relocation and authorization of coastal hotels must have a proper route, comply with regulations, but I cannot say that the relocation afternoon makes business difficult, ”said Mr. Ho Quoc Dung, Provincial Secretary. Party Committee, Binh Dinh Chairman Said the Provincial People’s Council.

Give back the marine space to the people

Until now, the Nha Trang Sao project remains empty land, newly acquired by Khanh Hoa province.

Avoid boredom and waste of resources

The information that Khanh Hoa province recovers land and sea area used to rent “mega” projects for planning as a park and used for community purposes has been agreed by many people and public opinion. Architect Nguyen Van Loc, former president of the Khanh Hoa Architects Association, frankly: “The province should have done this for a long time. But better late than never. I think all the people support the previous decision of the province. In fact, every time there was a new project along the coast, people would worry and react very strongly, but somehow, the work still “sprouted”. If the province can please investors, the beautiful scenery of the bay and the space of Nha Trang will be broken.

Don’t let the public interest
belong only to a minority group

Binh Thuan is a town with a 192 km long coastline, with many tourist centers. However, at present, planning public beaches for ordinary people is not much. Only in the Mui Ne National Tourist Zone (Phan Thiet City) today, where the largest number of visitors are currently in Binh Thuan Province, shared beaches are also rare. Meanwhile, most of Mui Ne’s spas are located in the east, by the sea and many of these spas follow one another, leaving no way for people and tourists to go to the beach. Therefore, although the beach is a common property, it only serves the business of the resort adjacent to the sea. Western hotels (across the street from Nguyen Dinh Chieu), although only a few dozen meters from the road, but they have to go very far to have a path to go to the sea to “bathe”.
According to PV research Youth, 2 years ago, Binh Thuan had a policy to expand Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street and open two more roads to the sea so that guests and people could freely go to the sea to bathe, without having to “ask permission” from the guards from the resort. .I want to go to the sea. However, the current state of the “sandy” sea fronts of the resorts has not been thoroughly managed.

Associate Professor Dr. Vu Thanh Ca said that the problem of resorts on the “sandy” waterfront of Mui Ne can be said to be a historical existence, spanning many periods. Currently the Mui Ne National Tourist Area is being planned in detail for each subdivision, it is very necessary to thoroughly resolve this conflict problem so that the marine space belongs to the community, not just a group of interests and minorities.

What ha

According to an expert working in the Ministry of Construction, for a long time our country has developed coastal urban areas, in which coastal areas are almost spontaneous, lack of planning and visionary plans. For this reason, in recent years, when the intellectual level of the people has been raised as well as the visions of leaders and local agencies and agencies, the issue of the return of marine space to the community has been strongly raised. However, these places must have a good planning, foresight to guarantee the common space with the sea of ​​the community, but without wasting resources and consistent with the general urban area in general adjacent to the sea.

“It is impossible to block the view, the way to the sea of ​​people and tourists, but there should be a beach, a beach bar everywhere. It is possible to prioritize the development of works for the community such as museums, libraries, parks … in the coastal zone so as not to cause boredom, waste of space and to diversify public services for coastal cities ”, said this expert. that it is possible to fix roads along the coast, then space to make parks, squares, playgrounds before going down to the sandy beach, sea surface …

For beaches, people need free and easy access to the beach, just pay when using the service. When zoning, planning the beach, it is necessary to limit the gate, fence, misleading signs … In addition, the means of access must be taken into account (access by road, by public transport). Plus) always available and maximum accessibility guaranteed. The beach area must have complete public facilities, higher quality tourist services such as the organization of cruises can be developed; sports entertainment services; organize tourist events, marine sports …

Sharing the same point of view, Associate Professor Dr. Vu Thanh Ca, former Director of the Institute for Marine and Island Studies (MONRE), said that keeping the land near the sea as a public space not only helps to ensure access. of people with the sea, but also to more effectively exploit coastal sandbars and marine tourism resources. In fact, in the current marine tourism areas of our country such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Mui Ne … in summer, almost all the beaches are very crowded, even approaching the state of overload. But instead, on the beaches of the resorts near the sea, the guests who swim at the beach are mainly guests of the resorts. Therefore, ensuring that coastal beaches are shared spaces not only creates opportunities for people, but also helps more tourists use the beach and tourism to better develop, contributing more to the economy. Local and national economy ”, said Associate Professor-Dr. Vu Thanh Ca.
