Authorities in Vietnam are developing plans to relocate residents from areas vulnerable to landslides. In Gia Lai province, officials in Quy Nhon Ward are addressing risks at Mot Mountain, where steep terrain and high population density make geological stabilization difficult. Initial assessments identified approximately 100 high-risk households, with proposals to move displaced families to land in Quy Nhon Dong and Quy Nhon Bac.

Broader relocation efforts are also underway in Hue City, where a compensation plan exceeding 60.7 billion VND has been approved for 34 households at the foot of Phu Gia Mountain. This project aims for completion by 2026 to mitigate risks from soil erosion and stone mining. 

In Gia Lai, the scope of the Mot Mountain proposal has expanded to include the potential relocation of 228 households. To improve safety, authorities are considering clearing the area and reducing the mountain’s height, noting that the resulting excavated earth and rock could provide roughly one million cubic meters of material for local infrastructure projects.
