Group 01. Comprehensive Indicators

0101. National Integrated Marine and Island Governance Index of Coastal Provinces and Cities under Central Administration

1. Concept, Calculation Method

The National Integrated Marine and Island Governance Index of Coastal Provinces and Cities under Central Administration is a comprehensive measure reflecting the current status of the sea and islands across six main areas: (1) Implementation of provincial and city-level programs and action plans; (2) Coastal business environment management; (3) Coastal water quality management; (4) Coastal mineral resources, energy, and transportation management; (5) Coastal land management; and (6) Coastal biological resource management.

Calculation Method: The National Integrated Marine and Island Governance Index of Coastal Provinces and Cities under Central Administration is calculated using the arithmetic mean method of component indices.

2. Publication Period: Yearly.

3. Data Sources

- National Statistical Reporting System;

- Ministry and Sector Statistical Reporting System;

- Statistical Surveys;

- Administrative Data.

4. Agency responsible for collecting and compiling: Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office).

0102. Human Development Index (HDI) of coastal provinces and centrally governed cities.

1. Concept, Calculation Method

1.1. Method for calculating the composite HDI index.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite measure reflecting human development across three dimensions: health (represented by life expectancy at birth), knowledge (represented by education), and income (represented by gross national income per capita).

The Human Development Index is calculated using the formula:

Where:

HDI

: Human Development Index;

I_health

: Health Index, calculated through the average life expectancy at birth indicator; also known as average life expectancy or average life prospects at birth;

I_教育

: Education Index, calculated through two indicators: the average years of schooling for those aged 25 and above and the expected years of schooling for children of school age;

I_income

: Income Index, calculated through the gross national income (GNI) per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP).

HDI ranges from 0 to 1 (0 ≤ HDI ≤ 1). HDI reaches its maximum value of 1, indicating ideal levels of human development; HDI at its minimum value of 0 indicates a society without humanistic development. Based on the HDI value, UNDP has ranked countries, regions, or areas within a country into four groups:

- Group 1: Very high level with HDI ≥ 0.800;

- Group 2: High level with 0.700 ≤ HDI < 0.800;

- Group 3: Medium level with 0.550 ≤ HDI < 0.700;

- Group 4: Low level with HDI < 0.550.

1.2. Method for calculating component indices

a) Health Index

Where:

I_health: Health Index;

b) Education Index

The Education Index is calculated through two indicators:

- Average years of schooling for those aged 25 and above;

- Expected years of schooling for children of school age.

Corresponding to these two indicators, there are two indices that need to be calculated. To determine the value of the education index constituting the HDI, three steps must be taken:

Step 1: Calculate the average years of schooling index for those aged 25 and above (hereinafter referred to as the average years of schooling) according to the formula:

Where:

I_{the actual shortest distance of each position receiving the allocation.}: Average years of schooling index;

Step 2: Calculate the expected years of schooling index for children of school age (hereinafter referred to as the expected years of schooling) according to the formula:

 

Where:

I_expected: Expected years of schooling index;

Step 3: Calculate the education index:

Where:

I_education: Education index;

I_{the actual shortest distance of each position receiving the allocation.}: Average years of schooling index;

I_expected: Expected years of schooling index.

c) Income Index

The Income Index is determined by the natural logarithm of the gross national income (GNI) per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) (usually converted to US dollars (USD - PPP)).

Where:

I_income: Income Index;ln: Natural logarithm;

0224. Installed capacity and electricity generation from wind and tidal energy

1. Concept, Calculation Method

a) Installed capacity and electricity generation from wind energy

Installed capacity and electricity generation from wind energy is the amount of electricity produced from wind energy, measured by the meter at the production site and transferred to consumers over a certain period.

Wind energy is the kinetic energy of air moving in the Earth's atmosphere. Wind energy is an indirect form of solar energy. Utilizing wind energy is one of the oldest ways to harness natural environmental energy and has been known since ancient times.

Wind energy describes the process where wind is utilized to generate mechanical or electrical energy. Wind turbines convert dynamic energy in the wind into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or an electric generator may convert mechanical energy into electricity at a power plant.

Wind is a form of solar energy, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's atmosphere by the sun, anomalies on the Earth's surface, and the rotation of the Earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the terrain of the Earth, bodies of water, and vegetation cover. This wind flow energy, or movement, can be harnessed through modern wind turbines to produce electricity.

Calculation Method

Within this standard, only wind energy used for electricity generation is considered, or only the amount of electricity produced from wind energy is calculated.

The electrical power capacity of wind energy is the ability of the power plant to produce electricity, thus the unit of measurement is also used like other sources of electricity: W or multiples of W such as KW and MW.

Electricity production is the amount of electricity generated over a certain period, measured in kWh. Electricity production is calculated based on the metering device at the production site and transferred to the consumer.

The electricity produced is measured at the generator head of each unit through the plant's separate meter, which distinguishes self-consumption and transformer losses, leaving the remaining electricity for consumption.

b) Installed capacity and electricity production from tidal energy

Installed capacity and electricity production from tidal energy is the amount of electricity produced from tidal energy sources, calculated based on the metering device at the production site and transferred to the consumer during a specific period.

Tidal energy is extracted from the daily rise and fall of tides. By utilizing tidal currents, systems are installed to generate electricity.

Currently, there are two types of technology applied worldwide to efficiently exploit this energy source: technology based on kinetic energy of tidal currents and technology based on tidal potential energy.

With technology based on tidal potential energy, reservoirs must be constructed and the tidal rise and fall pattern exploited to create a static water level difference between the volume of water in the reservoir and the sea, or vice versa. At that point, hydro turbines are used to generate electricity. This technology has the advantage of reducing the instability of tidal energy, but it faces difficulties in constructing dams to create reservoirs in coastal areas with complex terrain conditions.

Currently, some places around the world have implemented tidal power generation systems.

Calculation Method:

The electrical power capacity of tidal energy is the ability of the power plant to produce electricity, therefore the unit of measurement is also used like other sources of electricity: W or multiples of W such as KW and MW.

Electricity production is the amount of electricity generated over a certain period, measured in kWh. Electricity production is calculated based on the metering device at the production site and transferred to the consumer.

The electricity produced is measured at the generator head of each unit through the plant's separate meter, which distinguishes self-consumption and transformer losses, leaving the remaining electricity for consumption.

0225. Proportion of energy from wind and tidal sources in total primary energy supply

1. Concept, Calculation Method

The proportion of energy from wind and tidal sources in total primary energy supply is the percentage ratio between the energy generated from wind and tidal sources compared to the total primary energy supply.

Primary energy is energy extracted or obtained directly from nature without undergoing conversion processes, including fossil fuels (such as coal, oil shale, lignite and its products, crude oil and natural gas), biofuels, waste, nuclear energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, solar energy, wind energy, and heat from thermal pumps obtained from the surrounding environment.

Total primary energy supply is the total amount of energy used by a country within a specific period.

Calculation formula:

Total primary energy supply = Production of primary energy + Import of primary energy - Export of primary energy - Sea and international air reserves of primary energy +/- Change in primary energy reserve (inventory)

0413. Ratio of the area of restored marine ecosystems.

1. Concept, Calculation Method

The ratio of restored marine ecosystem area is the percentage between the area of degraded marine ecosystems that have been restored and the total area of degraded marine ecosystems.

A marine ecosystem is a combination of marine biological communities, marine environments, and marine organisms interacting with the marine environment to form material cycles (biological, geological, chemical cycles and energy transformation in the sea), including: Nearshore ecosystems (such as salt fields, tidal flats, seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, intertidal rock systems and submerged coral reefs...), offshore ecosystems (including offshore ecosystems, oceans, surface seawater, deep sea, hydrothermal vents and ocean floor...). Marine ecosystems are characterized by their associated biological communities and their physical environments.

A degraded ecosystem is a state where ecosystems are significantly affected by both objective and subjective factors, leading to a reduction in the size of ecosystems, a decline in biodiversity, which may result in the extinction of plant and animal species listed for priority protection.

A restored ecosystem is a state where a degraded ecosystem has been restored and regenerated to become a place with life equivalent to its condition before degradation.

Calculation formula:

Ratio of restored marine ecosystem area (%)=Restored area of degraded marine ecosystemx 100Total area of degraded marine ecosystem

2. Main category: Marine ecosystem.

3. Publication Period: Every five years.

4. Data source:

0414. Ratio of hazardous waste and solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards in coastal provinces and centrally governed cities

1. Concept, Calculation Method

a) Ratio of hazardous waste collected and treated to meet environmental standards

Waste is solid, liquid, gas or other forms of matter discharged from production, business, service, daily activities or other activities (Clause 18, Article 3 of the Law on Environmental Protection).

Hazardous waste is waste containing harmful elements, radioactive substances, infectious agents, flammable, explosive materials, corrosive substances, toxic substances or other hazardous characteristics (Clause 20, Article 3 of the Law on Environmental Protection).

The ratio of hazardous waste collected and treated to meet environmental standards is the percentage between the quantity of hazardous waste collected and treated to meet environmental standards (including recycling, co-processing, energy recovery from hazardous waste) and the total quantity of hazardous waste generated.

The higher this ratio reflects a better level of environmental protection and vice versa.

Calculation formula:

Ratio of hazardous waste collected and treated to meet environmental standards (%)=Quantity of hazardous waste collected and treated to meet environmental standards (tons)x 100Total quantity of hazardous waste generated (tons)

b) Ratio of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards

- The ratio of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards is the percentage between the quantity of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards and the total quantity of solid waste from daily activities generated.

- Quantity of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards is the quantity of solid waste from daily activities collected and transported by public utility companies, private enterprises, teams collecting solid waste from daily activities,... and delivered to facilities treating solid waste or landfill sites meeting environmental standards.

Calculation formula:

Ratio of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards (%)=Quantity of solid waste from daily activities collected and treated to meet environmental standards (tons)x 100Total quantity of solid waste from daily activities generated (tons)

An economic zone is a defined geographic area comprising multiple functional zones established to achieve investment attraction, socio-economic development, and national defense and security goals (Clause 13, Article 2 of Decree No. 35/2022/NĐ-CP dated May 28, 2022 of the Government).

A coastal economic zone is an economic zone established in coastal areas and adjacent regions (Clause 14, Article 2 of Decree No. 35/2022/NĐ-CP dated May 28, 2022 of the Government).

An industrial park is a defined geographic area specializing in industrial production and providing services for industrial production (Clause 1, Article 2 of Decree No. 35/2022/NĐ-CP dated May 28, 2022 of the Government).

An urban area is a region developed with one or more urban functional zones limited by natural boundaries, artificial boundaries, or main urban roads. Urban areas include: Residential units; service facilities for the urban area itself; may also include common service facilities for the entire city or regional level.

The ratio of coastal economic zones, industrial parks, and urban areas planned and constructed sustainably is the percentage of the number of coastal economic zones, industrial parks, and urban areas planned and constructed sustainably compared to the total number of such zones.

Note: When calculating the number of industrial parks, it includes industrial parks within economic zones.

Calculation formula:

Ratio of economic zones planned and constructed sustainably (%)=Number of economic zones planned and constructed sustainablyx 100Total number of economic zones

 

Ratio of industrial parks planned and constructed sustainably (%)=Number of industrial parks planned and constructed sustainablyx 100Total number of industrial parks
