| Abstract |
It is important to monitor the progress of carbon emission reduction by applying evaluation index to cities around the world in order to deal with global climate change. Therefore, in Korea, the "Green City Index" was developed funded by R&D of the MOLIT. This paper has applied 6 Key Indicators of the Green City Index to Danang and compared it with Vietnam national average, using 2010 as a base year. Danang has showed a relatively good status in terms of carbon emissions, fossil energy consumption, secondary industries, GRDP and urbanization rate. A large number of vehicles, meanwhile, calls for proper transportation policies. As a result, it is identified that the Key Indicator is applicable to Vietnam and Danang because it is feasible for industrial and economic conditions and data obtainability. It would lead to higher understanding and participation in personal activities to reduce carbon emissions. The widespread adoption of the Indicator in developing countries will contribute to identify alternative policies and establish strategic plans through comparison between cities and sectors. |
