Innovation in the way of doing things

In A Luoi 1 commune, the emulation movement to build new rural areas was "inspired" by the A Nor community tourism model. From small-scale activities in the past, Pa Co people have registered to compete to "raise tourism standards" by investing in homestays, expanding experiential services and preserving landscapes and indigenous cultures. Household groups said that their income has improved significantly since the cooperative launched the movement: Homestay groups compete to keep the space clean and beautiful; art groups compete to prepare special performances; culinary groups compete to preserve traditional dishes, creating a competition that spreads in every household.

According to Mr. Hoang Thanh Duy, Director of A Nor Community Ecotourism Cooperative, what makes the momentum is not the number of services, but the common spirit: competing to protect the forest, protect the water source and preserve the culture of the Pa Co people, considering it a common asset to be preserved together. Many families shared that, since community tourism has been introduced, every weekend they voluntarily clear the path to the waterfall and take care of their gardens because "the large number of visitors is thanks to the efforts of the whole village".

Mr. Nguyen Van Hai, Chairman of the People's Committee of A Luoi 1 Commune, said that the commune is continuing to launch a competition to improve service standards, open training classes on welcoming guests and support households participating in tourism to complete the income - culture - environment criteria in the set of criteria for the new rural areas in the highlands.

In Quang Dien commune, the emulation movement to apply technology is becoming a spearhead in building new rural areas. Based on the smart control room completed in the previous phase, the commune has deployed a security monitoring system, interconnected digital reports and environmental monitoring equipment to serve natural disaster warnings. According to Mr. Tran Kim, Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, the digital transformation emulation movement not only shortens the time to process documents but also improves the transparency and effectiveness of leadership, direction and operation.

Quang Tho II Cooperative chose to register for the competition "digitalizing production - expanding the market". Cooperative Director, Mr. Nguyen Luong Tri, said that putting OCOP pennywort tea products on e-commerce platforms, applying 3D simulation and AR in product promotion has opened up a new approach for farmers, in line with the emulation movement to develop digital rural areas.

In environmental criteria - one of the key requirements of the advanced NTM - many localities in the city launched competitions to classify waste at source, build safe food markets and deploy household wastewater treatment models.

Moving from “movement” to “substance”

After the administrative unit arrangement, the scale of communes in the city was expanded, the population increased, the workload was larger, so it required a more direct and flexible management mechanism. In Quang Dien commune, the emulation movement was initiated by the cadres: Clear assignment and division of tasks, prioritizing the completion of production area planning, upgrading schools, medical stations, traffic and irrigation to meet the increasing needs of the people. "Emulation must start from within; if cadres do well, the movement will spread to the people", Mr. Tran Kim emphasized.

In Khe Tre commune, the emulation movement focuses on mobilizing people to participate in building the new rural area, in which each household has a suitable part of work to contribute to the common achievement. Mr. Tran Van Quang, Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Committee shared: "Each village and each household contributes with their own work. People are the subjects that decide the success of the new rural area movement."

Along with that, digital transformation is also becoming a highlight in the emulation movement in many localities. The following communes have proactively included digital transformation content in the emulation tasks, focusing on administrative procedure reform, natural disaster monitoring and transparency of operating processes. Local authorities assess that digital transformation helps the emulation movement become more and more substantial, serving the people better.

Mr. Le Thanh Nam, Deputy Chief of the Office of the National Target Program for New Rural Development, said that in the coming period, the city will continue to prioritize infrastructure investment, promote digital transformation, develop ecological agriculture and expand the smart commune model in the spirit of Resolution 19-NQ/TW of the Central Executive Committee on agriculture, farmers and rural areas in the new period. "The important thing is not to leave gaps in management, ensuring that each commune has strong and sustainable changes," Mr. Nam emphasized.

From community tourism models, technology applications and emulation movements from the grassroots, it can be seen that the construction of new rural areas in the city is shifting from "movement" to "substance". Each commune has a way of doing things, each community has an initiative, each person has a part of the work... is creating new vitality for Hue's countryside in the context of effective operation of the 2-level local government. Emulation has become an important driving force, contributing to improving people's lives and shaping a green - smart - ecological - modern Hue countryside in the new development stage.
