Abstract

Raising public awareness and participation of the local communities can have an important input for public involvement in the project design and implementation process, and it has become a major objective of sound development programs. This chapter focuses on (1) public participation in the design and adjust boundary of the underground station of the Metro line 2 in Ho Chi Minh City and (2) public awareness and participation in canal environmental protection. Research is mainly based on the results of community meetings on project information, communication to raise public awareness on environmental protection, and survey questionnaires. The study will add to several recent studies on the roles of public participation in infrastructure projects for sustainable development. There are three important lessons that stand out from the experiences using public consultants in infrastructure projects.

Public Participation In The Design And Adjusting Of The Underground Station Of Metro Line 2 – In Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee (PC) has drawn out a plan of a Metro Rail System with six main lines to link the city center of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to outlying areas of the City. The six metro lines will be the backbone of the new HCMC public transport system and Line No.2 is a priority in the system development. It is predicted to transport over 600,000 people/day, and to provide a more environment-friendly and safer means of public mass transport in the city (MVA Systra Group, 2013).

The Metro line 2 (Ben Thanh - Tham Luong) is a dual-track line with a length of approximately 11.3 km, of which approximately 9 km consists of a Twin Bored Tunnel and the rest of an Elevated Section. It is planned to have 10 Stations, 1 km of Depot link, a new Workshop, and twelve new 3-car trains to operate the line.
