the process of urbanization, has been and will pose improve the theory as well as to build and propose
additional legal corridors in the state management of fire prevention and fighting for urban areas, it is necessary and meaningful. important in applying theory to practical state management on fire prevention and fighting in Vietnam today.
According to the Urban Planning Law of the Socialist Republic ofVietnam, urban areas are areas with high population density and mainly in non-agricultural economy, which is the main center. administrative, administrative, economic, cultural or specialized, playing a role in promoting the socio-economic development of the country or a territory, a locality, including the city and suburbs of the city; inner towns and suburbs of the town; town. Thus, it can be seen that the urbanities are an area with high population density, mainly production and business activities, being a political, economic and social center of a locality, a region, including cities, towns and towns.
Along with that, through research, it is possible to understand fire prevention and fighting for urban areas: Synthesizing measures, organizational, technical and technological solutions applied in urban areas to eliminate or limit processing causes and conditions of fire here; is a combination of people and means in applying methods, tactics to save people, save assets, prevent the spread and extinguish fires in a timely and effective manner, ensuring security and disobedience self and environment in urban areas.
From the above arguments, the initial approach to research, according to us, the state management offire prevention and fighting for urban areas is an organized impact and adjusted by the legal power of the state. For fire prevention and fighting activities in urban areas of authorized subjects, to minimize the occurrence of fires and damage caused by fires, contributing to protecting lives and protecting property of the house. water, organization and individuals, environmental protection, security, social order and safety.
Accordingly, pursuant to Article 57 of the Fire Code, the content of state management on fire prevention and fighting for urban areas includes: Building and directing the implementation of strategies, plan-
ning and plans on fire protection for urban areas; issue, guide and organize the implementation oflegal documents on fire prevention and fighting for urban areas; propaganda, education and dissemination of laws and knowledge about fire prevention and fighting; building the movement of the entire fire prevention and fighting in urban areas; organizing and directing fire prevention and fighting activities in urban areas; equipping and managing fire prevention and fighting facilities in urban areas; inspecting, examining, handling violations, settling complaints and denunciations and investigating fires in urban centers.
2. Practical state management on fire prevention and fighting in urban areas in Vietnam today
Recognizing the importance of state management on fire prevention and fighting in general and state management on fire prevention and fighting for urban areas in particular, after the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Fire Code was passed by the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The Prime Minister signed Decision No. 493/QD-TTg dated April 8, 2014 issuing detailed implementation plans the law. The ministries, branches and localities have closely followed the direction of the Government, concretized by plans, directives and action programs. Since 2014, the Government has issued 09 Decrees and 02 Resolutions related to fire prevention and fighting; The Prime Minister issued 05 Decisions, 03 Directive, 11 Electricity and Directive documents. The promulgation of the above documents has complied with the regulations on competence, order, procedures and contents to ensure constitutional, legal, practical requirements for fire prevention and fighting work. On that basis, the ministries and branches within their management have elaborated and promulgated 24 Circulars to guide the implementation of the legislation on fire prevention and fighting; issued many directives, electricity, instructions and instructions on this work. So far there are over 150 standards and technical regulations related to fire prevention and fighting, of which over 50% of regulations and standards directly regu-
late fire prevention and fighting, of which mainly focus on fire prevention and fighting in urban areas. Thus, it can be seen that, the work of advising and proposing the issuance of documents related to state management on fire prevention and fighting for urban centers is very interested in implementing, creating facilities and practices. a solid legal framework for state management entities to perform their duties.
Along with that, propaganda, dissemination and legal education, knowledge of fire prevention and fighting have been strengthened, there are innovations in content and form. From 2014 to 2018, it was posted on the mass media of 62.320 news and articles; broadcast 3.173 reports, documentaries on fire prevention and fighting; issue 308.997 zippers, slogans and 4.025.005 leaflets, recommendations on fire prevention and fighting; print copies, issue 7.296 tapes and CDs to propagate on fire prevention and fire safety ... All of these activities are aimed primarily at managed subjects in urban areas. In the work of approval, pre-acceptance test of fire prevention and fighting in urban areas, in the past 5 years, the police force of the Ministry of Public Security has been appraising and approving the design for fire prevention and fire fighting for 58,504 projects; organized acceptance for 29.230 projects and works in urban areas. Besides, for the inspection, examination and handling ofviolations of regulations on fire prevention and fighting for management objects in urban areas, it is very interested, in the last 5 years, agencies The function has conducted 357 inspections of the observance of the law on fire prevention and fighting; organizing fire safety and fire safety inspection 1,575,154, issuing 98,384 official letters proposing to overcome loopholes and shortcomings in fire prevention and fighting. Contents, regimes and procedures for conducting inspections and inspections shall comply with current law provisions; Thereby, it was fined with a total budget of over VND 200 billion, suspended operation of 1.956 cases, temporarily suspended 2.720 cases ... On the other hand, in the
implementation of state management functions fire prevention and fighting of the subjects under management, also deploying synchronously other measures such as fire fighting, building fire prevention and fighting forces in urban areas, national cooperation on fire prevention and fire fighting, the implementation of compulsory fire and explosion insurance, the settlement of complaints and denunciations...
However, besides the above results, in the state management of fire prevention and fighting for urban areas, there are still limitations and shortcomings such as: advising and proposing the issuance ofdocuments detailing and guiding fire prevention and fighting for a number of specific areas in urban centers such as mini condominiums, super high-rise buildings . not yet issued; effectiveness ofpropaganda on fire prevention and fighting is not high, awareness and awareness of a part of people in urban areas is still limited; There are still 2.662 dangerous fire and explosion projects put into use, which have not been approved for design and approval or approved but not yet approved for fire prevention and fighting, as ofJuly 2018, Vietnam. 110 apartment buildings and high-rise buildings have been put into operation by investors but have not been tested for fire prevention and fighting; about 60% of urban areas in Vietnam have not been planned for urban fire fighting water supply; building civil defense fire prevention and fighting forces, grassroots and specialized fire prevention and fighting forces that have not been given adequate attention; investment, equipment for fire prevention and fighting activities is still slow, unsecured ... The cause of these problems is due to awareness of responsibility for fire prevention and fighting activities of a limited number of committees, local authorities, heads of agencies, organizations and establishments in urban areas; Some provisions of the law on fire prevention and fighting are still slow to implement; Infrastructure conditions in urban areas are still inadequate, incomprehensive, especially the planning of transport systems, water sources, communications for degradation and fire fighting .
