The Anada community

I have has such a bad experience living in the Anada community in Dalat with household and construction waste dumped everywhere, sometimes within a few meters of my property.

Your answer lies with the Peoples Committee. Environment as well as the Construction departments.

If I remember, the Anada Community builds houses to specification, in Da Lat.

They have a contact address:
Anada Community
27/2 Phu Dong Thien Vuong, Phuong 8
Da Lat
Cell: +84-94-3901547
Email: [email protected]


Take some photos so they can't tidy up quickly and claim innocence.

When I constructed three buildings in Buon Ma Thuot, over the hill from you, the Buildings Department kept a friendly eye on our sites, just verbal advice - no official complaints. 

Since you seem interested in keeping Da Lat clean, have a look at Da Lat history.

Jaitch,

When we try to clean up the place, she calls the police saying that we trespass.

Here are some of the photos I took:

Many thanks.

That's why you should involve officialdom.

Or seek put an ecology group and ask their advice. Go to a flower promotion society and ask them for leads.

Your photos show eyesores more than anything. Remember the old maxim Location, location, location doesn't apply to VietNam. I have seen expensive houses jammed up against tin shacks with small industry in them. And like the Greeks, they have little pride in their country by way of keeping it clean.

In Cam Ranh Bay, where my wife owns a hotel, we sponsored a beach cleanup up whereby school children, solicited through the schools, were paid by her to keep a strip of beach free of junk, one Sunday each month. We not only gave them VND100,000 SIM cards for showing up, but also 'paid' them for each bag of junk collected.

I should let her call the police, if you are not removing stuff, and ask them for help.

The local police are useless in solving this problem. The police do nothing. They side with the developer and say that she has a right to dump household and construction waste anywhere on her property.

xpolivier and Jaitch. Thanks for the photos and links. I think I passed through that community on my last trip to Dalat. Regarding the Da Lat link Jaitch supplied. Interesting to see that the map prepared when Nam Trung Ky was a protectorate was drawn up in Chinese, the official language of the Court. That must have been quite a challenge for their French advisors, though the last French scholar I ran into (in Nha Trang one night) had taken her degree in Chinese (and was regretting not having taken Vietnamese).

Jaitch, the "School for military children" noted in the article refers to a school set up to educate half-Vietnamese orphan boys who were trained in general subjects and trades in preparation for military careers. Their graduates actually have an association. http://aet.d.perso.sfr.fr/  One of their graduates had a very interesting career in the French Army.
