Not arranging villages and residential groups with specific elements in many localities

Implementing the policy of arranging villages and residential groups (TDP), localities are proactively completing the steps according to the roadmap, striving to complete the arrangement in June according to the direction of the Government.

In Tay Ninh province, this locality has issued an overall plan to rearrange and reorganize hamlets and neighborhoods in the province in 2026.

Before the arrangement, Tay Ninh had 1,531 hamlets and neighborhoods, including 1,261 hamlets and 270 neighborhoods. Through review, 870 units met the standards, accounting for nearly 57%; and 661 units did not meet the standards for the scale of households according to regulations.

In addition, the whole province has 91 border hamlets adjacent to Cambodia along with many hamlets and neighborhoods belonging to ethnic minority areas, which are areas that need to consider specific factors when developing plans.

Based on the review, localities developed 558 arrangement plans, including merging hamlets and neighborhoods in their original state; adjusting part of the boundaries for merger; combining adjustment and merger; in some cases, only changing names to agree with the new commune-level administrative unit.

After arrangement, the whole province still has 987 hamlets and neighborhoods, of which 968 units meet standards and 19 hamlets do not meet standards but are kept or formed after arrangement due to specific factors in national defense, security, border areas, natural conditions or the presence of many ethnic minorities.

According to the Provincial People's Committee, maintaining these units is to ensure convenience in management, maintain national defense and security, stabilize people's lives and promote the specific characteristics of each area.

In Hung Yen province, there are currently 358 villages and residential groups that meet the standards without rearranging or reorganizing; rearranging in its original state 2. 173 villages and residential groups; 56 villages and residential groups partially reorganized; 29 villages and residential groups dissolved and 7 villages and residential groups with specific elements proposed not to be rearranged.

After arranging and reorganizing villages and residential groups, the whole province will have 1,322 villages and residential groups, a decrease of 1,301 villages and residential groups, equivalent to a decrease of 49.6% in the number of villages and residential groups.

The goal set by Hung Yen province in arranging villages and residential groups is based on the principle: The arrangement and arrangement must be suitable to the conditions and natural characteristics of the residential community and especially not disrupt historical, cultural, religious, and customary elements.

Communes and wards in the process of implementation must ensure compliance with the criteria and conditions according to the Central Government's regulations; at the same time, fully consider the specific factors of history, culture, customs, habits, geographical conditions, national defense, security, religious factors and the natural cohesion of the residential community; associated with the requirement to improve the efficiency of governance at the grassroots level, promote digital transformation and improve the quality of service to the people.

In the process of reviewing and developing plans, it is necessary to ensure a sharp reduction in village and TDP focal points. Do not implement mechanical arrangement, divide areas or maintain the old model in other forms.
