Before the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, Vietnam was one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets. With the ambition that more than ninety percent of the population will have access to the airport within 100 km, the Vietnamese government approved developing the airport systems of 22 existing airports and six new airports. The rapid increase in air traffic in Vietnam has given rise to serious noise problems around airports. Preservation of the living environment for the areas around the airport was an urgent task to the Vietnamese government. Although the situation has entirely changed by the pandemic, environmental problems will be severe again as the aviation industry recovers. Therefore, a sustainable approach is to create a policy framework to prevent and decrease noise from air traffic parallelly with strengthening the air transport network. However, although Vietnam issued standards for general environmental noise, there had not been a legal and regulatory system that formed the basis of policies for aircraft noise. In this paper, the authors introduce Vietnam's viewpoints and efforts in developing the framework related to noise management around airports and discuss future issues and prospects. The authors summarize the activities that the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has been working on with the support of Japanese experts for several years before the outbreak of Corona on noise policy development in Vietnam, including evaluation methods and monitoring technologies. These efforts have formed the basis for Vietnam's aviation noise policy. |
