Reasons for the study With the goals up to 2020 that, our country will basically become an industrial country, our country’s industrialization and modernization process has more and more rapidly and strongly happened, but quite complicated in all cities and provinces. This process has changed the socio-economic face of localities at various levels; and promoted the urbanization process.
The urban development in several big cities such as: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City,… has impacted on not only the economy – society – environment on the field of those cities but also the surrounding districts and provinces strongly. Together with the comprehensive change of the country, Dong Anh, a suburb district in the North of Hanoi City is stepping into innovation period and created the significant changes in all aspects. However, nowadays, to foster the comprehensive development process, take full advantage of its socio-economic potentials, Dong Anh district should form and perform a long-term strategy for its sustainable development by itself. Therefore, to explain the socio-economic changes in the district, not only figures are taken to prove those changes in two different periods but also we will find out the other reasons, which control those changes, and then take solutions to promote and adjust the socio-economic development in Dong Anh District.
With the goals, we selected the subject “Socio-economic changes in Dong Anh in the innovation period” for research and expected to find out the major characteristics of the process, which changed structure and operating-mechanism of the economy in Dong Anh; showed and analyzed the major changes in the social structure and relationship in Dong Anh. Not only figures are taken to prove changes in two different periods but also from that we will find out the reasons, which control those changes, and then take solutions to foster and adjust the socio-economic development in 5 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Dong Anh. On that basis, we hope that we will contribute our effort into the socio-economic development in Dong Anh. The study of the process of socio-economic change and the socio- economic changes in Vietnam in the innovation period On consideration of the economic changes, the authors Le Thong, Do Thi Minh Duc, Nguyen Viet Thinh, Vu Nhu Van agreed that they were purely changes in the structure including economy structure, structure of territory and structure of economic components.
According to Encyclopedic Dictionary: the social change is “a concept, which mentions changes in specific conditions and operating methods, or in a specific structure of a group, a specific social organization, or even in the whole specific society. The social change is in various levels in individual aspects of the society, and created evolutionary-based changes. It can appear on all aspects of the society and gradually change the society. In a certain period, it will create great advances, deep changes, substance transformation from this status to another one (urgent transformation, revolution).
The revolution is the most peremptory time of the social change”. In the social changes in Vietnam after more than 20 years of innovation, Prof. Hoang Chi Bao (Central Theoretical Council) said that, “Until the present, (2008), Vietnam has innovated for 20 years, more than one-fifth of the century. In this time, there have been many changes in the aspects of the society in Vietnam such as the social change or change in the social side, the social aspect in the overall society.
In Changes in the socio-economic structure in Vietnam in the period of 1986- 2000, Prof. Dr Nguyen Dinh Le focused on the following issues: The Party’s innovation opinions and socio-economic orientations in the five-year plans 6 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (1986-1990, 1991-1995, 1996-2000); Impacts of the international background on innovation task in Vietnam; changes of structure in investments, gross products, national expenditure; growth and density changes in the economic sectors, change of structure in sectors….; changing labor forces in the society; growth of economic sectors; changing class-social structure; income and living standards of the people; the gap between rich and poor; the significant achievements and matters in question in the industrialization and modernization career. In Changes in the cultivated land structure and the agricultural economics in Red River Delta in the innovation period (by surveys in several villages and communes) Prof. Nguyen Van Khanh emphasized on the following issues: changes in the rural areas in Red River Delta in view of the cultivated land and agricultural economics in the innovation period; impacts of policies of agricultural innovation on the socio-economic situation in several villages and communes in Red River Delta … [12].
Regarding the interactive relationship between the economic changes and the social changes, according to Marxist theory of production mode, “Change and development process of the society is dependent to mode of production. The history of the social changes and development is the history of changes and development of mode of production”. It can be seen that, studies are in this view identical in the same point and affirmed that a group or a system of social aspects – social problems – social policies and social security system has strong ties and connection with the social changes. In this system, it is seen that: Any changed thing is the social change, or social matters have the dialectical relationship with the economic matters.
The social changes is firstly expressed through the social problems, which are directly questioned in the daily life together with demands and interests of the human (Individuals, groups, genders, 7 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com ages, generations, communities and so forth) or the social consequences arisen from economics and political impacts, operations. Generally, the studies are not only unified in the facts, the main social structure, which is directly resulted from the socio-economic structure but also on refers to the socio-economic changes, the author emphasizes on the structural changes and impacts of socio-economic policies on the socio-economic changes in the whole country or in a quietly large area. This is the theoretically reliable fulcrum for our application into the study of socio-economic changes of a particular field – Dong Anh. Studies of the socio-economics change process in Hanoi in the innovation period Dang Duy Loi, the author of Hanoi geography and Le Thong in the book of Geography of provinces and cities in Vietnam have quite fully implemented the studies of the social-economic aspects of provinces, cities in general and Hanoi in particular; and summarized the basic socio-economic changes in Hanoi in recent years (especially after the innovation period).
However, the authors mostly approach to it in the geographical view. Therefore, analyzing those changes will take not only development sources but face with difficulties, not deeply explains in various aspects. In the socio-economic changes in the edge of Hanoi in the urbanization process, the author Nguyen Huu Minh and his colleague noted that: “Urbanization process has created the strong changes in life of the people in the rural area, especially in edge of the city. It is possibly considered that the edge of Hanoi is the buffer zone for transition from rural to urban form and clearly reflects impacts of the urbanization process in the rural areas.
