Carbon Footprint of Vietnam’s Small Urban Areas (Ha Dong District, Hanoi)
Increasing urbanization advocates the compact city. This study classifies small urban areas in the Ha Dong district (Hanoi, Vietnam) based on indicators for a compact city and calculates the carbon footprint of urban clusters based on data household of lifestyle surveys. A step use approach combining exploratory factor analysis, hierarchy cluster analysis, and carbon footprint is used. The results sort out four main factors characterizing the compact city such as quality of infrastructure, the density of open space, transportation pattern, public transportation, and urban green space. Small urban areas in Ha Dong are grouped into 4 urban clusters based on the factor of quality of infrastructure. The carbon footprint (CF) of the Ha Dong district is 6.66 ton.year−1.person−1, which is higher than that of the average world, about 3 times over the GHG target, and nearly 6 times than that of GHGs in Vietnam. The urban cluster C3 shows the highest carbon footprint, whereas the C4 has the lowest one. Recommendations based on the study result include the following: raise study area as the number of high-density cities increase (compact city), develop the urban green spaces and public transport system, and improve tools for urban planning based on the criteria of sustainable development and green growth.
