Abstract
The core research focus is an investigation of the physical problems associated with small dam safety in Vietnam and exploration of factors contributing to current dam safety problems. Findings derived from stakeholder interviews and on-site dam surveys provide strong evidence that many small dams in the study area - Tan Moc commune, Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province in Vietnam - are seriously deficient and constitute a threat to downstream communities, property and environment. Results highlight that natural factors such as the age of dams, flood and landslides are perceived to be significant causes of current dam safety problems. Human factors, including lack of responsibility and accountability, poor local dam safety management, insufficient central dam safety assurance and the undervaluation of lives in the local community, are also perceived as important for dam safety
