Da Nang, the most livable city in Vietnam, is not only famous for its economic development and modern infrastructure but also for its efforts in environmental protection.
However, the situation of litter scattered in vacant lots, parks, and beaches is still a frustrating problem for residents and tourists. To deal with this problem, the city has applied a new approach: Using technology to monitor and manage waste.
The Da Nang Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that in the coming time, the city will strongly deploy measures to apply information technology to environmental protection. Specifically, the installation of surveillance cameras in vacant lots is to control the situation of indiscriminate littering.
This is not only a deterrent but also helps local authorities promptly detect and handle violations, while raising people's awareness.
More broadly, Da Nang's use of technology to protect the environment is not only a temporary response measure but also a preparation for the future. Digital transformation in waste and environmental management helps optimize resources, reduce waste and improve management efficiency.
This model is being applied by some localities, such as Ho Chi Minh City, and has been very effective in reducing the situation of people littering.
However, technology is only a supporting tool. To thoroughly solve the problem of littering, there needs to be synchronous coordination between the government, people and social organizations.
Recently, Da Nang has assigned associations, unions, and residential groups to manage unbuilt land areas and plant trees to protect the landscape. This is a positive model, helping the community participate in environmental protection, creating a sense of common responsibility.
However, just using technology for monitoring is not enough. In addition to monitoring, local authorities need to have more strict sanctions for littering. Only when sanctions are strong enough and strictly enforced will people really change their behavior.
At the same time, rewarding and encouraging individuals and organizations that make positive contributions to environmental protection is also an important factor to promote awareness and responsibility in the community.
Da Nang is on the right track with combining technology and environmental management measures. This is a good way to not only help improve the living environment but also contribute to building the image of a green, clean and beautiful city.
With these steps, Da Nang not only protects its own environment but also, once again, along with a number of other localities is a model for consultation!
