The  policies  and  strategies  of  the  city  government  have  been   ineffective  or  inadequate to  protect  surface  water bodi es .  The purpose of this study is to investigate the causative relationship between  the   attenuation  of  surface  water  bodies  and  increasing  local  flooding  incident s .  The  investigation  is  based  on   the  perspective  of  stakeholders  ranging  from  citizens  and  city authorities. The study revealed that  ineffective planning  measure s ,  lack of awareness of  local  people  and  lack  of  regulation  for  the   protection  of  surface  water  bodies  as  main  causative factors for the attenuation of surface water bodies. The  study also c onfirms that  the flooding incident s  and intensity have increased with the decrease of the area of surface  water bodies. Based on these  findings the study proposes to  integrate water bodies as a  spatial element in urban plan ning  and suggest role s and respon sibilities  for stakeholders in  protection of surface water bodies in Hanoi.  aThesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2010 0aFloodsxManagementzVietnamzHanoi 0aFlood controlzVietnamzHanoi0 aRanjith Perera, eChairperson0 aVilas Nitivattananon, eExaminaiton committee1 aNguyen, Thi Kim Oanh,eExamination Committee2 aCanada  (CIDA), eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
