ABSTRACT

Construction and development of industrial parks make inevitable demands of the

process of industrialization and modernization. Since the re-establishment

(01/01/1997) Binh Duong province has high economic growth rate with the

strong development of industrial parks in both quantity and quality. The

development of industrial parks and power has created a new life for Binh Duong

with rapid urbanization rate, attracting a large amount of labor in and outside

the province, and economic restructuring. Binh Duong province became the

bright spot, the local leader in the industrialization and modernization. However,

the pace of development of "hot" industrial parks raises many issues and

shortcomings. In particular, the problem of environmental pollution is an urgent

problem to be answered in order to meet the requirements of sustainable

development of industrial parks.
