Respondents expressed levels of satisfaction of living in the RUA and were
attracted by the location’s advantages such as cheap prices of land and house, cool air,
proximity to the CBD and suitable livelihood options as number of people in Hai Boi
and Cu Khoi wards could cultivate vegetables or flowers selling to the city’s
inhabitants. The respondents identified poor infrastructure and frequent flood as disadvantages of living in the RUA and interestingly only 8.2 per cent of the
respondents rated the flood as a major disadvantage (Figure 4).
