CapaViet

From September 2017 to August 2019, UfU is once again carrying out a project to improve the management of contaminated sites in Vietnam. The joint project “CapaViet – Capacity building and infrastructure development for the creation of a soil contamination register in Vietnam using the example of Bắc Ninh province” aims to strengthen Vietnamese authorities at provincial level in the independent recording and assessment of contaminated sites. Together with our partner MSP Bochum and the regional environmental office (DONRE), a soil contamination register is being created in Bắc Ninh province as part of the project. Sites with potential contamination are being recorded by German and Vietnamese experts in a database and in GIS. The participating employees of DONRE Bắc Ninh are thus acquiring the know-how required to create the cadastre in practice. As a lighthouse project, the cadastre for Bắc Ninh is intended to serve as a transferable example for other provinces in Vietnam. Accompanying specialist training in the creation of cadastres and in the use of mobile analysis methods for measuring heavy metals in soil will strengthen the employees of Vietnamese authorities at national and provincial level in their ability to independently create contaminated site cadastres in other provinces in the future. To this end, they will be provided with a series of working aids for mobile heavy metal analysis and for the creation of contaminated site registers, which will be created and disseminated as part of the project. In order to make the creation of contaminated site registers standard throughout Vietnam in the future, UfU will develop an exemplary template for a legal regulation for the cadastral recording of soil contamination. As a follow-up project to AnaViet (2016), CapaViet is funded by the “Environmental Technologies Export Initiative” of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.
