of the islanders. Therefore, this indicator will be divided into two sub-indicators:
a1. Natural tourism attractiveness a2. Cultural tourism attractiveness
b. Tourist capacity
The two island communes in Quan Lan have different capacities to receive tourists. Minh Chau Commune is home to many standard hotels and resorts, attracting high-income domestic and international tourists. Meanwhile, Quan Lan Commune has many motels mainly built and operated by local people, so the scale and quality are not high, and will be suitable for ordinary tourists such as students.
c. Time of exploitation of Quan Lan Island Commune:
Quan Lan tourism is seasonal due to weather and climate conditions and festivals only take place on certain days of the year, specifically in spring. In Quan Lan commune, the period from April to June and from September to November is considered the best time to visit Quan Lan because the cultural tourism activities are mainly associated with festivals taking place during this time.
Minh Chau island commune:
Tourism exploitation time is all year round, because this is a place with a number of tourist attractions with diverse ecosystems such as Bai Tu Long National Park Research Center, Tram forest, Turtle Laying Beach, so besides coming to the beach for tourism and vacation in the summer, Minh Chau will attract research groups to come for tourism combined with research at other times of the year.
d. Sustainability
The sustainability of ecotourism sites in Quan Lan and Minh Chau communes depends on the sensitivity of the ecosystems to climate changes.
landscape. In general, these tourist destinations have a fairly high level of sustainability, because they are natural ecosystems, planned and protected. However, if a large number of tourists gather at certain times, it can exceed the carrying capacity and affect the sustainability of the environment (polluted beaches, damaged trees, animals moving away from their habitats, etc.), then the sustainability of the above ecosystems (natural ecosystems, human ecosystems) will also be affected and become less sustainable.
e. Location and accessibility
Both island communes have ports to take tourists to visit from Van Don wharf:
- Quan Lan – Van Don traffic route:
Phuc Thinh – Viet Anh high-speed boat and Quang Minh high-speed boat, depart at 8am and 2pm from Van Don to Quan Lan, and at 7am and 1pm from Quan Lan to Van Don. There are also wooden boats departing at 7am and 1pm.
- Van Don - Minh Chau traffic route:
Chung Huong high-speed train, Minh Chau train, morning 7:30 and afternoon 13:30 from Van Don to Minh Chau, morning 6:30 and afternoon 13:00 from Minh Chau to Van Don.
f. Infrastructure
Despite receiving investment attention, the issue of infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism on Quan Lan Island is still an issue that needs to be resolved because it has a direct impact on the implementation of ecotourism activities. The minimum conditions for serving tourists such as accommodation, electricity, water, communication, especially medical services, and security work need to be given top priority. Ecotourism spots in Minh Chau commune are assessed to have better infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism because there are quite complete and synchronous conditions for serving tourists, meeting many needs of domestic and foreign tourists.
3.2.1.4. Determine assessment levels and assessment scales
Corresponding to the levels of each criterion, the index is the score of those levels in the order of 4, 3, 2, 1 decreasing according to the standard of each level: very attractive (4), attractive (3), average (2), less attractive (1).
3.2.1.5. Determining the coefficients of the criteria
For the assessment of DLST in the two communes of Quan Lan and Minh Chau islands, the students added evaluation coefficients to show the importance of the criteria and indicators as follows:
Coefficient 3 with criteria: Attractiveness, Exploitation time. These are the 2 most important criteria for attracting tourists to tourism in general and eco-tourism in particular, so they have the highest coefficient.
Coefficient 2 with criteria: Capacity, Infrastructure, Location and accessibility . Because the assessment area is an island commune of Van Don district, the above criteria are selected by the author with appropriate coefficients at the average level.
Coefficient 1 with criteria: Sustainability. Quan Lan has natural and human-made ecotourism sites, with high biodiversity and little impact from local human factors. Most of the ecotourism sites are still wild, so they are highly sustainable.
3.2.1.6. Results of DLST assessment on Quan Lan island
a. Assessment of the potential for natural tourism development
For Minh Chau commune:
+ Natural tourism attractiveness is determined to be very attractive (4 points) and the most important coefficient (coefficient 3), so the score of the Attractiveness criterion is 4 x 3 = 12.
+ Capacity is determined as average (2 points) and the coefficient is quite important (coefficient 2), then the score of Capacity criterion is 2 x 2 = 4.
+ Exploitation time is long (4 points), the most important coefficient (coefficient 3) so the score of the Exploitation time criterion is 4 x 3 = 12.

Basically, both Minh Chau and Quan Lan localities have quite favorable conditions for developing ecotourism. However, Quan Lan commune has more advantages to develop ecotourism in a humanistic direction, because this is an area with many famous historical relics such as Quan Lan Communal House, Quan Lan Pagoda, Temple worshiping the hero Tran Khanh Du, ... along with local festivals held annually such as the wind praying ceremony (March 15), Quan Lan festival (June 10-19); due to its location near the port and long exploitation time, the beaches in Quan Lan commune (especially Quan Lan beach) are no longer hygienic and clean to ensure the needs of tourists coming to relax and swim; this is also an area with many beautiful landscapes such as Got Beo wind pass, Ong Phong head, Voi Voi cave, but the ability to access these places is still very limited (dirt hill road, lots of gravel and rocks), especially during rainy and windy times; In addition, other natural resources such as mangrove forests and sea worms have not been really exploited for tourism purposes and ecotourism development. On the contrary, Minh Chau commune has more advantages in developing ecotourism in the direction of natural tourism, this is an area with diverse ecosystems such as at Rua De Beach, Bai Tu Long National Park Conservation Center...; Minh Chau beach is highly appreciated for its natural beauty and cleanliness, ranked in the top ten most beautiful beaches in Vietnam; Minh Chau commune is also home to Tram forest with a large area and a purity of up to 90%, suitable for building bridges through the forest (a very effective type of natural ecotourism currently applied by many countries) for tourists to sightsee, as well as for the purpose of studying and researching.

3.2.2. Using SWOT matrix to evaluate Quan Lan island tourism
General assessment of current tourism activities of Quan Lan island is shown through the following SWOT matrix:
Table 3.5: SWOT matrix evaluating tourism activities on Quan Lan island
Internal agent
Strengths- There is a lot of potential for tourism development, especially natural ecotourism and humanistic ecotourism.- The unskilled labor force is relatively abundant.- resource environmentunpolluted, still
Weaknesses- Poorly developed infrastructure, especially traffic routes to tourist destinations on the island.- The team of professional staff is still weak.- Tourism products in general
quite wild, originalintact
general and DLST in particularalone is monotonous.
External agents
Opportunity- Tourism is a key industry in the socio-economic development strategy of the province and Van Don economic zone.- Quan Lan was selected as a pilot area for eco-tourism development within the framework of the green growth project between Quang Ninh province and the Japanese organization JICA.- The flow of tourists and especially ecotourism in the world tends toincreasing
Challenge- Weather and climate change abnormally.- Competition in tourism products is increasingly fierce, especially with other localities in the province such as Ha Long, Mong Cai...- Awareness of tourists, especially domestic tourists, about ecotourism and nature conservation is not high.
Through summary analysis using SWOT matrix we see that:
To exploit strengths and take advantage of opportunities, it is necessary to:
- Diversify products and service types (build more tourism routes aimed at specific needs of tourists: experiential tourism immersed in nature, spiritual cultural tourism...)
- Effective exploitation of resources and differentiated products (natural resources and human resources)

Proposing Some Solutions for Solid Waste Control in Long Bien District

With the characteristic of Hong Hai ward having a high proportion of households being civil servants, working hours at the office are according to administrative hours. However, during the survey, many opinions reflected that the garbage collection time of the environmental sanitation team was not reasonable (garbage collection from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.), this is the time when many households do not have anyone at home to take the garbage out. In addition, in the afternoon from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. is the time when the most garbage is generated at households, but there are no garbage trucks to collect it, causing garbage to accumulate at households. The next morning, if households leave garbage in front of their doors waiting for the garbage trucks to collect it at the prescribed time, it will affect the urban beauty. This is the difficulty in arranging workers to collect garbage on some routes in Hong Hai ward.
- In Hong Hai ward, there are 07 waste collection points. These are the locations specified by INDEVCO Urban Environment Joint Stock Company for garbage collection routes to gather there to wait for the Company's garbage compactor to come and collect the garbage and then transport it to Deo Sen landfill for burial. The garbage collection locations include:
+ Next to the children's cultural palace lake
+ Opposite the entrance to the Department of Justice
+ Next to flower garden column 3 (In front of water supply company)
+ Opposite the entrance to the ethnic boarding school
+ Entrance to Dong Bac Coal Company
+ Head of Hai Ha stream
+ Next to the wall of Quang Trung Primary School
- At each point, about 1,969 kg/day is collected. The total amount of garbage collected in the whole ward is 15,750 kg/day. The collection rate is 97%. Similar to Bach Dang ward, Hong Hai ward has many temporary garbage collection points on main roads, causing traffic jams as well as urban aesthetics.
Hong Ha Ward: population is 15,604 people with 5,201 households, of which 1,862 are business households, the rest are households of civil servants.
The ward has 16 areas with 133 residential groups. Currently, to ensure environmental sanitation on main streets and alleys, Hong Ha ward also has 3 sanitation teams with 32 people participating in the work of maintaining, cleaning and collecting household waste in the ward. The ward's solid waste collection activities are divided into 2 teams.
Team 1: Maintain street cleaning and collect household solid waste on Nguyen Van Cu street from (bordering Hong Hai ward) to Cau Trang (bordering Ha Trung ward) with 3 shifts (shift 1: 4am - 12pm, shift 2: 12pm - 8pm, shift 3: 8pm - 4am the next day). Transportation time is from 3am - 7am, from 3pm - 11pm).
Team 2: Collects household solid waste in residential areas and hamlets with operating hours from 4am to 8pm with 46 collection routes shown in the table below:

With detailed and specific collection routes in Hong Ha ward, waste collection is quite convenient. The collection rate of about 95% is a
The rate is quite high, but compared to Hong Hai ward and Bach Dang ward, Hong Ha ward has a lower collection rate. Because Hong Ha ward has a large area, besides, Hong Ha ward has 2 new urban areas, column 5 and column 8 urban areas, forming a new residential area. The construction density is only about 30% so in these residential areas, although collection routes have been arranged, according to the survey and investigation results, the phenomenon of garbage being thrown haphazardly on sidewalks or in vacant lots is quite common. Besides, Hong Ha ward area concentrates many administrative agencies and companies, but in these areas there are no convenient garbage collection locations for dumping garbage at the concentrated areas of these agencies and offices. Therefore, the garbage collection rate in the ward is lower.
- Waste collection points include the following 13 points:
+ Next to the embankment of the Electricity Department football field.
+ Entrance to the electrical laboratory (next to the electrical department).
+ Sidewalk at the entrance to the river (raft house area).
+ Provincial Party Committee fence (next to the press house).
+ Intersection of Zone 3 Hong Ha Street (Go up from Provincial Party Committee Guest House).
+ Near the gate of Hon Gai coal processing factory.
+ Next to the fence of the Provincial Conference Center (bus stop).
+ Sidewalk of youth employment promotion center.
+ Fence next to the old Hong Ha market gate.
+ Embankment next to the provincial police headquarters.
+ Concrete road (adjacent to Hon Gai Coal Company).
+ Near Hong Ha wastewater treatment plant.
+ Land in area 2 Hong Ha
Because the area of Hong Ha ward is large, the population is not as dense as Hong Hai ward and Bach Dang ward, and the newly planned traffic system is larger and wider, so in general, the garbage collection locations do not cause traffic jams like the other two wards. In addition, the garbage collection locations have not been planned according to the correct standards, so the garbage collection also affects the urban beauty.
Regarding the collection of environmental sanitation fees in the wards, there are also many problems arising such as: households still complain about the fee level not being suitable for each family living far away, living near, little garbage, much garbage but the money is the same. The division of the fee level according to business households is also not satisfactory and there are many conflicts between business households of types that generate a lot of waste such as food and beverage and other types of business.
Electronic business households.... The following is a summary of environmental sanitation fees in the city as follows:
Table 3.11. Household waste collection fee in wards in the Eastern area of Ha Long City

Objects collected | Unit of measure | Collection level ( VND ) | |
1 | Household | Export/month | 20,000 |
2 | For households with a combination business (except food business) | Household/month | 60,000 |
3 | Schools, kindergartens | School/month | 250,000 |

6 | Gasoline stores and dealers oil | Copper/door goods/month | 500,000 |
7 | At the markets (depending on the type of business) business with corresponding gas level) | Coin/business point sales/month | 50,000 – 100,000 |
Current status of transportation
The collection and transportation of domestic solid waste in the study area is undertaken by the transportation teams of INDEVCO Urban Environment Joint Stock Company, combining manual and mechanical means. The equipment used includes both primitive and modern equipment.
Transport by handcart
The work of transporting solid waste by handcart in Bach Dang ward is undertaken by 23 workers, Hong Hai ward by 32 workers, Hong Ha ward by 42 workers. Each worker is assigned 04 400-liter handcarts.
Solid waste from each household is collected at a set time with a frequency of once a day. At the set time, garbage trucks will come to each residential area to collect garbage from households. Then, the garbage trucks will be gathered at the designated collection locations and wait until the time comes for the garbage compactors to come and collect the garbage and take it to the landfill.
Garbage from the garbage collection and cleaning work on main streets such as Le Thanh Tong Street, Kho Than 1+2 Street (Bach Dang Ward), Kenh Liem Street, Dong Bac Street (Hong Hai Ward) and Nguyen Van Cu Street (Hong Ha Ward) is continuously swept by workers in 3 shifts (shift 1: from 4am to 12pm, shift 2: from 12pm to 8pm, shift 3: from 8pm to 4am the next day). Each solid waste cleaning worker collects 3 to 4 carts/day. The carts will then be gathered at the garbage collection point. In Bach Dang Ward, there are currently 9 garbage collection locations, Hong Hai Ward has 8 garbage collection locations and Hong Ha Ward has 12 garbage collection locations.
Through actual investigation and observation, the garbage carts are all extended a lot higher than the mouth of the bin by about 0.5m - 1m to facilitate the collection of workers because households living far away and not stacking high will not collect all the garbage and have to go back again, wasting time and effort. The garbage trucks have been extended to carry more garbage in one trip, so on average, the garbage trucks can carry about 200 kg of garbage. The extension leads to the possibility of garbage falling during transportation and the garbage trucks being too high will obstruct the vision of the people pushing the garbage carts, leading to the possibility of traffic accidents during transportation.
Transport by car:
Garbage is collected at the gathering locations and will be picked up by a team of cars (compressors and garbage trucks) and transported to Deo Sen landfill. The transportation route from the gathering points to the Deo Sen landfill area is about 5 to 12 km.
Collection time includes 2 shifts: shift 1: from 3am - 7am, shift 2: from 3pm - 11pm).
In general, the environmental sanitation movement in the study area has become regular, and the piles of solid waste stored on the streets have gradually been eliminated. People's awareness has been raised. However, there are still some shortcomings as follows:
Hong Hai and Hong Ha wards have new urban areas with high living standards, leading to a large amount of waste generated. However, in these urban areas, the population is still sparse, the number of households living here accounts for about 30% - 50% of the planned households. Because it is a new residential area, there is currently no
There is a garbage collection point in the area. Garbage collectors have to travel between garbage collection points which is quite far, affecting the time and productivity of garbage collection.
Although solid waste does not accumulate in each household, solid waste often accumulates on the streets late at night and early in the morning due to limited collection times (once a day). Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of garbage collections per day.
