| Abstract | Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam has been founded on the
floodplain of the Red River. It is underlain by thick Quaternary
deposits. The young unconsolidated deposits serve at the same
time as foundation~, construction materials, water bearing and
waste receiving medium. As the geologic environment could be
regarded as both resource and hazard, favorable and adverse
conditions coexist in the area. Floods, land subsidence and
earthquakes are geologic hazards that are highlighted in this
study. For conservation and sustainable development of Hanoi
proper land use planning represents an imperative that involves
the integration of a series of factors. The present study will
provides an example of how geology can be ยท integrated in the
planning process with the aid of a new technology known as
Geographic Information System (GIS). It also constitutes an
incentive for new studies that would follow in the years to come
in order to make the city a nice place to live. |
