    "Objective: This study aims to investigate the attributing factors influencing major identity design for the historical city and making a design case with the factors. Background: Design historical city identity has a wide range of research areas. Diversity of research topic is one of the major strong points of this discipline, especially city branding. Dominant areas among diversity changed from time to time. It is interesting to study the design identity of the historical city of the dominant areas. Nowadays, the challenge for cities to thrive is to compete globally and make a clear difference. In that sense, small developing cities are particularly threatened, their distinctive values blurred by modernization. Method: Research the combination of the city’s specific values and characteristics with the tangible and intangible heritage values in the heritage city branding process. Heritage promotion is also very important in branding, building the city’s image based on the morphological and structural values of heritage buildings. Based on several heritage value methodologies, the paper examines these factors’ potential role in branding a historical city. Results: City branding has proven its ability to deliver strategic growth opportunities and attract investment. This article examines the role of identity and the ability to exploit heritage building values in Hue’s heritage city’s branding process. Conclusion: Branding a heritage city is a lifelong process based on defined strategic goals and programs to replicate, plan, and executed by the government. Application: The results of publishing trends analysis can help determine identity methods for many historical cities in Vietnam."

    A model of reforming Institutional Structure to manage Open-Space in Hanoi City, Vietnam
    ( 2021)
    N M Hung
    A new Hanoi city had been expanded over 3,300km2, which merged the old Hanoi with Ha Tay province and parts of Vinh Phuc and Hoa Binh provinces from August 1, 2008. After more than 10 emerge years, the population in the new city has gone up to over 8,05 million people in 2020. Improving urban living environment is one of the important targets for the new Hanoi, and managing open-space (m-OS) is a key element in achieving this goal. M-OS is a crucial issue since the expansion and re-zoning of the city can increase the rate of urbanization, cause disappearance of open-space and lead to a serious deterioration of living conditions. Administratively, institutions need to be reformed to effectively manage open spaces in the expanded Hanoi and there is a need to implement specific strategies to manage these areas. This paper aims to provide a solution in managing open-spaces. A managerial model consists of regulatory simplification and adjustment, decentralization of decision-making and simplification of open-space management process. Lastly, proposing an active plan is necessary to implement such strategies successfully and ensure effective and efficient management of open-space and community participation for a mega- Hanoi.

    Community-based behaviour towards Affordances in Conservation of Hanoi Old Quarter in the Vietnam context
    ( 2020)
    Ngo Minh Hung
    The 36 Old Street Quarter is a downtown area of Hanoi City, which has over 1000 years old and contains such traces of history and architecture. The grid structure gives it a significant character that is a part of the local heritage facing phenomenon of replacing settings of ancient spaces, stoning the streets and concretizing old buildings due to anti-conservative interplay from its users. Therefore, this paper examines the user’s behaviour in optimizing different settings of Hanoi Old Quarter (HOQ) towards conservation efforts. Theoretically, the research was conducted by making use of ‘affordances’ terminology of Gibson (1986/1979) to understand interactions between the spatial settings and its user. Methodologically, the purposeful method of local people and layout-based sketch of the blocks, and analysed images of outdoor and shared places have been employed for three survey sites respectively. The results of community-based behaviours, its patterns and ‘verb-ability’ are fundamental factor to develop ground-up programs on urban and architectural conservation in the Vietnam’s contextualisation

    Not just a monastery: The Đông Duong Complex of Vietnam
    ( 2021)

    In this article we provide a critical re-examination of the sites associated with the “Đông Dương Buddhist Monastery” of the Champā civilization in Quảng Nam province, Vietnam. We argue this re-examination is needed because contemporary understandings are based on research that is more than 100 years old. While Vietnamese language research has progressed, until now, no English language publication has provided an update on the Đông Dương complex sites, including watchtowers, a citadel, relations with nearby ports, religious sites, a production site, and funerary sites, all associated with the Indrapura polity of Champā.
