Abstract

In the past two decades, establishment and development of industrial parks, originating from the economic reform, has helped form a modern infrastructure, expand sources of finance and affect favorably the economic growth and changes in the structure of industry, and create new jobs in Vietnam. There have been numerous studies of economic efficiency of industrial parks, but their effects on quality of life of local communities have not been fully examined, especially in quantitative aspect. This problem has become a challenge to researchers and policy makers in Vietnam. To help solve it, authors have conducted a case study in Beán Tre with a view to collecting data and evidence from reality and this article tries to present a quantitative model of factors affecting the community satisfaction and some policy suggestions for local authorities.
