Therefore, according to the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in Bac Kan province in 2025 and the Project on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in Bac Kan province in 2025, from the existing 108 communes, wards and towns, Bac Kan province will arrange them into 37 commune-level administrative units (including 35 communes and 2 wards), reducing 71 commune-level administrative units (a reduction of 65.74%) compared to the present. Of which, the number of commune-level administrative units established on the original basis is 1 unit, there are 7 administrative units merged from 2 communes, 23 administrative units merged from 3 communes, 6 administrative units merged from 4 communes.
With the goal of building a government that is close to the people, serving the people better, the development of the plan also ensures the creation of new space and development space for localities. Such as the decision to establish Bach Thong commune on the basis of merging Dong Thang commune (Cho Don district), Duong Phong commune, Quang Thuan commune (Bach Thong district), with the headquarters located in Duong Phong commune before the arrangement. This arrangement is not within the scope of a district but is expanded to neighboring localities with convenient traffic connections, promoting potential, advantages, and expanding the development space of the locality.
Similarly, the Provincial People's Council agreed on the plan to establish Phong Quang commune on the basis of merging Duong Quang commune (Bac Kan city) and Don Phong commune (Bach Thong district). The plan was developed considering historical, traditional, cultural and ethnic similarities. The locality after the arrangement has a geographical location adjacent to convenient traffic connections, with Nam Cat lake as the center of the two communes. The merger of the two communes aims to create a space for eco-tourism development associated with Nam Cat lake, creating a driving force to attract investment and develop tourism in the future, contributing to economic and social development, and increasing the income of people in the two communes after the merger.
To create development space, the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in Bac Kan province in 2025 approved the plan to merge many communes to expand the development space of the locality. For example, in Pac Nam district, Bang Thanh commune was established on the basis of merging 4 communes, including Bang Thanh, Boc Bo, Nhan Mon and Giao Hieu. As a mountainous locality with difficulties, the arrangement of 4 communes with adjacent geographical locations will ensure convenient traffic connections, promote potentials, advantages, and expand the development space of the locality. Currently, the center of Boc Bo commune was chosen as the center of Bang Thanh commune after the arrangement with synchronously invested infrastructure, convenient traffic routes connecting with the remaining units, which will help people conveniently transact with local authorities.
In addition to Bang Thanh commune established on the basis of merging 4 communes, the whole province has 5 administrative units also established from 4 merged communes, including Bac Kan ward established on the basis of merging Song Cau ward, Phung Chi Kien ward, Nong Thuong commune and Xuat Hoa ward; Dong Phuc commune established on the basis of merging Quang Khe, Hoang Tri, Dong Phuc and Bang Phuc communes; Cho Don commune established on the basis of merging Ngoc Phai, Phuong Vien communes, Bang Lung town and Bang Lang commune; Cam Giang commune established on the basis of merging Quan Ha, Cam Giang, Nguyen Phuc and My Thanh communes; Phu Thong commune established on the basis of merging Vi Huong commune, Phu Thong town, Tan Tu and Luc Binh communes.
To expand the space and maximize the potential and advantages, Bac Kan established Ba Be commune on the basis of merging Cao Thuong commune, Nam Mau commune and Khang Ninh commune. Inheriting the history and tradition of district-level administrative names, the name Ba Be was unanimously chosen by the people because Ba Be lake is located entirely within the territory of three communes, Cao Thuong, Khang Ninh and Nam Mau. Retaining the name Ba Be is a brand for tourism development, when the name Ba Be lake is famous domestically and internationally.
Ba Be commune was established on the basis of merging Cao Thuong commune, Nam Mau commune and Khang Ninh commune.
will expand the development space of the province's tourism potential and strengths.
In the arrangement of administrative units, the province also took into account specific factors, such as Thuong Quan commune (Ngan Son) was established on the basis of maintaining the status quo of Thuong Quan commune due to its isolated location and difficulty in organizing convenient traffic connections with adjacent administrative units. The natural area and population size both exceeded the prescribed standards, in which the area reached 155% and the population reached 300% of the standards. Being a poor commune, with a large area, fragmented terrain, difficult traffic, the farthest village from the commune center was Slam Coóc village, 80 km away. Therefore, when implementing the arrangement, the province calculated to maintain the status quo to promote socio-economic development, ensure national defense, political security, and social order and safety in the area.
Based on the current situation of organizing administrative units in the province and implementing the Central's directives, the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units in Bac Kan province is carried out to contribute to streamlining the organization and apparatus, reducing focal points, streamlining the payroll, improving the efficiency of socio-economic investment, the effectiveness and efficiency of the political system, creating conditions to focus on effectively exploiting existing potentials, advantages, and economic strengths, ensuring harmonious and sustainable development in the future.
Immediately after the Provincial People's Council unanimously approved the Resolution on the policy of rearranging commune-level administrative units in Bac Kan province in 2025, Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Phuong Thi Thanh requested the Provincial People's Committee to complete the documents related to the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units and submit them to the competent authority to ensure progress according to regulations. Proactively implement the project and plans for rearranging the apparatus, personnel work, management, and handling of assets to ensure compliance with regulations.
According to the roadmap, the People's Committee of Bac Kan province will submit to the Ministry of Home Affairs for appraisal, synthesize a report to the Government and submit to the National Assembly Standing Committee for consideration, decision and approval of the resolution on rearranging commune-level administrative units in the province before June 30, 2025./.
