Gia Lai officials plan relocation of residents near Mot Mountain landslide zone

Authorities in Gia Lai province are preparing to relocate residents living near Mot Mountain in Quy Nhon Ward due to severe landslide risks. The area, covering approximately 35,377 square meters, features steep terrain and high population density, making geological stabilization technically complex and resource-intensive.

Local assessments have identified approximately 100 households at high risk. This includes 52 households located directly on Mot Mountain in Residential Group 19 and about 40 households at the foot of the mountain in Residential Group 20.

Due to a lack of available land within Quy Nhon Ward for resettlement, local officials have proposed using land in Quy Nhon Dong and Quy Nhon Bac to accommodate the displaced families. Provincial leadership has directed local authorities to urgently review the scope of the risk and finalize lists of households requiring relocation to ensure long-term stability and safety.
