Implementing the policy of arranging and reorganizing villages and residential groups (TDP), many localities are simultaneously implementing the collection of opinions at the grassroots level to complete the merger plan.
Before June 30, the People's Committees of provinces and cities direct the People's Committees of communes to develop a project to arrange villages and residential groups; organize to collect people's opinions; submit the project to the People's Council of communes for approval.
According to the draft, after arrangement, the number of villages, hamlets, and residential groups in the provinces will be reduced by nearly half.
The arrangement of villages and residential groups not only aims to streamline focal points and improve the efficiency of state management, but also focuses on preserving cultural and historical values and the inherent cohesion of the residential community.
In Thanh Hoa, the whole province currently has 4,351 villages and residential groups. Of which, 4,126 villages and residential groups will be rearranged and reorganized; 225 villages and residential groups will not be rearranged due to specific factors or have met the standards according to regulations.
After arrangement, Thanh Hoa will have 1,933 villages and residential groups, a decrease of 2,418 units, equivalent to a decrease of 55.6% compared to the present.
According to the assessment of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, the arrangement will create larger-scale villages and residential groups, improve the operational efficiency of the grassroots political system, and at the same time reduce about 4,400 non-specialized personnel. It is expected that the budget for villages and residential groups will decrease by about 424 billion VND per year.
Meanwhile, Khanh Hoa province currently has 1,233 villages and residential groups (683 villages, 550 residential groups) and 1 residential area in Cam Hiep commune. Through review, the whole province has 479 villages and residential groups (equivalent to 38.8%) that have not met the standard of household size according to Decree No. 185 of the Government.

Some villages and residential groups, although not meeting the standards, are still maintained due to specific factors (mountainous areas, ethnic minority areas, particularly difficult, complexly divided terrain, difficult travel, scattered population; islands or areas planned for land clearance, migration, resettlement; isolated on islands... ).
For 3 villages in the Truong Sa special zone, there will be a separate arrangement and reorganization plan.
