| There are currently more than 20 households living temporarily in the Ban Ve Hydropower Reservoir. These are households that are being relocated to the Ngoc Lam and Thanh Son resettlement areas in Thanh Chuong district to serve the construction of the Ban Ve Hydropower Plant. Of these, the majority have moved to the new resettlement area, but due to many reasons, the above households have returned to their old places to work and live temporarily. There are a few households that have not moved because they believe that many compensation issues are not satisfactory. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| These households are mainly in Kim Hong village (Kim Tien commune) and Cha Coong village (Huu Duong commune). Mr. Quang Van Tuyen in Kim Hong village said: His family moved to Kim Hong village, Ngoc Lam commune, Thanh Chuong district (in Ngoc Lam resettlement area) since 2009, and celebrated two Tet holidays at the new place. However, due to lack of water for daily life and no land for production, he was forced to bring his family back to the old place to do business and live. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Returning to the old place, the households are now living mainly on exploiting forest products, fishing and raising livestock and poultry. Education, medical treatment and other social security issues are facing many difficulties. Many people are not entitled to enjoy the rights because they reside and do not participate in activities of a certain social community. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Mr. Luong Khac Phung, who lives in Cha Coong village, Huu Duong commune (an old commune of Tuong Duong district), is one of the few households who have never moved to a new place. Mr. Phung said: he did not move for many reasons, the biggest reason being that he did not agree that a large area of his family's land was not compensated or transferred to a new place.
