It is located on the country’s South Central Coast. It is sometimes seen as part of the Southeast region. The province is known for its scenery and beaches. There are also a number of sites of archaeological significance.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Geography[edit]Demography[edit]Administrative divisions[edit]Cham villages[edit]Economy[edit]Agriculture, forestry, fishing[edit]Industry[edit]Mining[edit]Infrastructure[edit]Transport[edit]Energy[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Much of what is now B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn province was part of the Cham principality of Panduranga, which had its political centre in neighbouring Ninh Thu\u1eadn province. It was the last independent principality after the fall of Vijaya in 1471. B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn was later incorporated into Vietnam, while Ninh Thu\u1eadn remained independent longer, until 1832. Before 1976, B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn province was much smaller because much of the west was in the separate B\u00ecnh Tuy province). B\u00ecnh Tuy, B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn and Ninh Thu\u1eadn were merged in 1976 to form Thu\u1eadn H\u1ea3i province. It was divided again into Ninh Thu\u1eadn and Binh Thu\u1eadn in 1991, while B\u00ecnh Tuy remained part of B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn Province.[citation needed]Geography[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn borders L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng province in the north, Ninh Thu\u1eadn province in the northeast, and \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai and B\u00e0 R\u1ecba\u2013V\u0169ng T\u00e0u provinces in the west. Much of the borders with L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng and Ninh Thu\u1eadn are mountainous, while much of the rest of the province is relatively flat. However, there are several hills with a height of at least 200 m along the coast of the province.[1] The highest peak in the province (1548m) is in northwestern T\u00e1nh Linh District, near L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng.[2]Ph\u00fa Qu\u00fd island is located around 120\u00a0km south-east of Phan Thi\u1ebft. It is a separate district. There are several much smaller islands off the coast of B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn, including C\u00e2u Island (c\u00f9 lao C\u00e2u) in the east, Lao Island (h\u00f2n Lao) at M\u0169i N\u00e9, and B\u00e0 Island (h\u00f2n B\u00e0) in the west.[2]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn has several rivers mostly originating in the province itself or in the highlands of neighboring L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng Province. Most flow into the East Vietnam Sea. Some of the major rivers are the Lu\u1ef9 River (S\u00f4ng Lu\u1ef9) in the east, the C\u00e1i River (S\u00f4ng C\u00e1i) in the centre, and the Dinh River (S\u00f4ng Dinh) in the west.[2]La Ng\u00e0 River (S\u00f4ng La Ng\u00e0) flows through four districts in the northwest of the province and is a major tributary of the \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai River.[1] The largest lake is S\u00f4ng Qu\u00e1n Lake (h\u1ed3 S\u00f4ng Qu\u00e1n) in the centre of the province around 30\u00a0 km north of Phan Thi\u1ebft. Another major lake is Bi\u1ec3n L\u1ea1c in the northwest region of the province.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4As of 2007, 50% of the province (394,100 ha) is covered with forests, which is high compared to most other provinces of the South Central Coast region.[3] Forests are mostly located in the province’s mountainous regions in the northwest and northeast.[1] Despite its large forested area, the province also has a lot of agricultural land. 284,200 ha were used for agriculture in 2007, which is the largest figure among all provinces of the central coast regions (both North Central and South Central).[3]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn is one of the aridest provinces in Vietnam. Much of the province receives less than 800 mm of rain per year. The months from November to April are particularly dry, with less than 200 mm of rain. It has reserves of arsenic in the northwestern mountains and titanium along its western coast.[1]Demography[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn had a population of 1,170,700 people in 2007.[3] The population grew by 1.35% per year on average between 2000 and 2007. Growth was particularly strong in urban areas at 4.42% per year on average. As a result, urbanisation increased from 30.4% in 2000 to 37.5% in 2007, making it one of the most urbanized provinces of the South Central Coast (second after Kh\u00e1nh H\u00f2a province).[4] Population density ranges from around 1000\/km2 in Phan Thi\u1ebft to less than 100\/km2 in the districts of B\u1eafc B\u00ecnh, H\u00e0m T\u00e2n, H\u00e0m Thu\u1eadn Nam and T\u00e1nh Linh.[2]Apart from the majority Kinh, there are several ethnic minorities in the province. Some Cham communities are in the coastal regions of eastern B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn. Other minorities mainly inhabit the mountainous regions along the border with L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng province.[1] They include the Koho and Raglai.Administrative divisions[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn is subdivided into 10 district-level sub-divisions:8 districts:1 district-level town:1 provincial city:They are further subdivided into 12 commune-level towns (or townlets), 96 communes, and 19 wards.Cham villages[edit]Cham names for Cham villages in B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn province are as follows (Sakaya et al. 2014:757-758).[5]Tuy Phong DistrictCawait: L\u1ea1c Tr\u1ecbM\u00e2n\u00e2ng Krueic: Cao H\u1eadu and Ph\u00fa \u0110i\u1ec1nPlom: Tuy T\u1ecbnhKarang: V\u0129nh HanhB\u1eafc B\u00ecnh DistrictDhaong Panan: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnPa-aok: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnRanjoh: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnHamu Ak: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnJraow: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnHamu Rok: B\u00ecnh Ti\u1ebfnRagaok: B\u00ecnh \u0110\u1ee9cYok Yang: B\u00ecnh Hi\u1ebfuCanan: T\u1ecbnh M\u1ef9Bah Ribaong: Tr\u00ed Th\u00e1iSah Bingu: Mai L\u00e3nhGaok Lithei: An L\u1ea1cAia M\u00e2mih: B\u00ecnh MinhPanat: B\u00ecnh Th\u1eafngDik: B\u00ecnh H\u00f2aCakak: C\u1ea3nh Di\u1ec5nCaraih: Ch\u00e2u HanhNjen: Thanh Ki\u1ebftH\u00e0m Thu\u1eadn B\u1eafc DistrictHamu Kam: Ma L\u00e2m 3Craoh Tang: L\u00e2m Thu\u1eadnJamau: Giang M\u00e2uLam Bal: L\u00e2m Th\u00e0nhAia Ru: H\u00e0m Tr\u00edHamu Ci\u00e9t: H\u00e0m Tr\u00edAia Ru: \u0110\u1ed3ng TreH\u00e0m Thu\u1eadn Nam DistrictHala Puen: Hi\u1ec7p Ngh\u0129aMali: Hi\u1ec7p H\u00f2aT\u00e1nh Linh DistrictBicam: khu ph\u1ed1 Ch\u0103m L\u1ea1c T\u00e1nhDanaw HalinH\u00e0m T\u00e2n DistrictEconomy[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn had a GDP per capita of 11 million VND in 2007, which is the third highest in the South Central Coast after \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng and Kh\u00e1nh H\u00f2a province, and slightly higher than the regional average of 10.8 million. The economy has been the fastest growing in the South Central Coast with an average yearly growth of almost 14% from 2000 to 2007, with growth of all three sectors of the economy significantly exceeding the regional average. Agriculture, forestry and fishing had an average growth of 7.4%, industry 21.6%, and services 15.4%.[4]Agriculture, forestry, fishing[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn is a relatively large producer of rice. 434,600 t were harvested in 2007. This is a significant increase from 2000 (321,500 t), although the area used for growing rice did not increase significantly (93,100 ha to 96,400 ha). Roughly one third of the province’s agricultural land is used to cultivate rice, less than many other provinces.[citation needed]CropAreaOutput (2007)[3]% of national[4]Main location(s)[1]Cotton1900 ha2000 t12.4%B\u1eafc B\u00ecnh (E)Cashew nuts30,971 ha17,565 t5.82%\u0110\u1ee9c Linh, T\u00e1nh Linh (NW), H\u00e0m T\u00e2n, La Gi (SW)Pepper2091 ha2326 t2.58%\u0110\u1ee9c Linh (NW)Maize19,800 ha100,700 t2.45%H\u00e0m T\u00e2n (SW)Rubber20,538 ha12,332 t2.05%\u0110\u1ee9c Linh (NW)Rice96,400 ha434,600 t1.21%H\u00e0m Thu\u1eadn Nam (central)B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn has increased the area used for some crops significantly over the last few years, including rubber, pepper and cashew nuts, while cultivation of sugar-cane and sweet potatoes has been shrinking. There are large fishing grounds off the coast of B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn and around Ph\u00fa Qu\u00fd island, including shrimp, squid, and tuna.[1] However, their contribution to the local economy is relatively small compared to agriculture. Forestry has made a very small contribution to the economy of the province and its growth has been slow from 2000 to 2007. The largest increase has actually been in forest cultivation rather than exploitation of forest products.[3]Industry[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn’s industry has been booming in the first years of the 21st century, with average an average growth rate of 21.6% until 2007.[4] B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn’s industrial development is currently facing problems of land management. Licensed industrial parks have been found to overlap with titanium reserves and their development may be delayed as a result.[6] The province has seen a decline in state industry from 2000 to 2007. The private sector now makes up most of industrial output and even the foreign-invested sector has overtaken state-owned industry. Despite its spectacular growth, industry was not able to absorb much of the growth of the labour force. It created 17,200 new jobs between 2000 and 2007, while the slower growing service sector created 44,100 and even agriculture, forestry and fishing created 57,600 jobs.[3]Mining[edit]Infrastructure[edit]Transport[edit]B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn is located along Vietnam’s main north-south transport corridors. National Route 1 runs through the province, connecting 6 out of the province’s 10 districts to the rest of the country. B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn’s main railway station along the North\u2013South Railway is M\u01b0\u01a1ng M\u00e1n Railway Station, located around 10\u00a0km northwest of Phan Thi\u1ebft. Four smaller railway stations are in Phan Thi\u1ebft and the eastern part of the province.[2]The province is connected to the Central Highlands by two national roads: 28 from Phan Thi\u1ebft to Di Linh and \u0110\u1eafk N\u00f4ng province and 55 from V\u0169ng T\u00e0u to La Gi and B\u1ea3o L\u1ed9c. B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn does not have an airport; the nearest commercial airport is located near \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t.[citation needed]Energy[edit]H\u00e0m Thu\u1eadn hydropower plant is located in the northwest of the province.[1] B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn is the site of several new energy projects and will be important for Vietnam’s diversification away from hydropower. B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn has significant potential for wind power generation, estimated at 3,000 MW.[7] The wind power project in Tuy Phong District,[8] was set to be hooked up to the national electricity grid by 2009. The large wind energy project is expected to help boost regional socio-economic development and pave the way for further exploitation of renewable energy sources in the country. Located on Highway 1, the section running through B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn Commune, the Wind Power Plant 1 is about 300 meters from the coast. This is an arid area usually short in rainfall but abundant in wind. Other wind power projects are in preparation, with 12 licenses issued as of August 2010. However, the land for many of these projects overlaps with land with rich titanium reserves.[7] These overlaps have remained unresolved for several years.[7]A thermoelectric plant is under construction in Tuy Phong District in the east of the province. It is a cooperation of EVN and Chinese investors and projected to generate 1,200MW of electricity.[9]References[edit]External links[edit]Wikimedia Commons has media related to Binh Thuan.Places adjacent to B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn provinceOur servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem.Please try again in a few\u00a0minutes.See the error message at the bottom of this page for more\u00a0information.
