摘要
The current economic development is the process of improving the physical and spiritual living conditions for people through the production of material wealth and the improvement of social relations as well as the improvement of cultural quality.In recent years,Vietnam showed robust growth in terms of economic development,along with the fast pace of urbanization and population increase.However,the economic growth has led to serious problems relating to the environment,such as the pollution of the air,water,and soil,which hugely affected the quality of human life.The Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)implied that a country with strong economic background shifting to industrialization or mechanization of agriculture will have positive GDP and the environmental damage level will decrease.The analysis and assessment showed that the environmental problems caused by economic activities are:air pollution in the urban area still maintained at high level;water pollution in rivers and limited fresh water supply;and the soil pollution and declining water supply underneath soil are developing.
