13. Before and After the LCMT Project Implementation (2010 vs 2015)

14. Feedback for LCT-I System
Some evaluation contents are difficult to assess in Da Nang City:
Supply Side (Area Energy System, Multi Energy System)
Adjacent Workplace and Residence
Securing Green Space calculations
Proposals for development of LCT-I System:
Consider real situations of each LCMT in order to add/omit criteria suitable for each case.
Adjust criteria to be focused more on outcomes than on measures undertaken.

15. Future Plan of Da Nang a) Transportation b) Industry
Develop BRT system and encourage usage of bicycles, electric bicycles;
Land-use planning for transportation: allocate parking spaces; friendly walking paths for pedestrians; bus stations and lanes.
Limiting number of motorbikes and cars in city center to reduce traffic congestions .
b) Industry
Implement energy-saving programs in industries, especially in those with high carbon emission and usage of electricity and resources such as: construction materials, chemicals, foods, paper. Continue implement ECO action 21 program.
Cleaner production in industries which have resource-saving potentials such as: paper, mechanics and plating.
Pilot construction of environmentally-friendly industrial zone (Hoa Khanh IZ).
