The Fourth Industrial Revolution, especially the digital technology, has been rapidly transforming all aspects of social life, driving a powerful process of digital transformation across all fields. The digital transformation program in Vietnam identifies the digital society as one of the three fundamental pillars, encompassing changes in the way social interactions and connections shift from traditional methods to digital connections through modern technology and communication infrastructure. Alongside the numerous positive aspects, the process of building a digital society also presents significant challenges for each country in managing issues related to ensuring digital citizen rights, establishing digital lifestyle standards, and ensuring fairness in digital commerce. In this study, we will: (1) Clarify the concept and characteristics of the digital society; (2) Explore the current status of building a digital society in Vietnam; (3) Analyze some barriers to the digital society construction; (4) Propose some recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of national governance in Vietnam today.
Coal is one of the most precious mineral resource, mining and mineral processing contributes to the economic development. In Vietnam, coal mining industry is economically profitable. However, this industry shows several disadvantages such as low productivity, wasting resources, negative environmental impact. Therefore, the State of Vietnam need to improve the coal mining governance to raise revenues, avoid wasting resources and meet the requirements of sustainable development. The paper aims to evaluate State governance of coal mining industry in Vietnam, and shows the advantages and disadvantages of this governance. Therefore, this paper proposes the strategies and solutions to improve coal mining governance in Vietnam towards sustainable development. The structure of the paper includes: (i) Literature review of the importance and requirements of state governance of coal mining industry towards sustainable development; (ii) State governance of coal mining industry in Vietnam; (iii) Proposals to improve State governance of coal mining industry towards sustainable development in Vietnam.
Coal mining is one of the key mining industries in Vietnam. Coal is also an important fuel for many other industries. Currently, coal mining is mainly concentrated in Quang Ninh coal basin, the proportion of open-pit coal mining and underground mining is quite similar. However, according to Decision 403/QD-Ttg on approving the adjustment of the Vietnam coal industry development plan up to 2020, considering the prospects by 2030, the mining output will be from 51 to 54 million tons by year 2025 and from 55 to 57 million tons by 2030. In which, the proportion of underground coal mining will increase gradually compared with that of open-cast mining, specifically, by 2030, the proportion of the later compared to that of the former will be only 11%. According to this plan, open-pit coal mines have been shifting to underground mining technology, due to the increasingly deep conditions of coal seams. The following article will analyze the current status of coal mining in Vietnam and some highlights of the coal industry development plan to 2030, in order to provide a general picture of Vietnam’s coal industry in the future.
