In Dong Chum commune, for many years, the model of "Self-managed residential area" has been operating very effectively. Mr. Luong Van Thinh, Chairman of Dong Chum Commune People's Committee, said: The model was implemented in 2007, starting in Pa Che hamlet. At that time, many social evils appeared in the hamlet such as students dropping out of school, getting drunk, fighting, gambling, and theft that occurred frequently, disrupting security and order in the commune.

Faced with that situation, the village elders, village chiefs, prestigious people and the hamlet Party Committee met to discuss and agree on the contents to maintain security, order and social safety such as building conventions and village covenants. Establishing household groups (each group has 5-7 households) to manage children and for household groups in the family to manage each other. In addition, actively promoting the role of cadres, party members, village elders, prestigious people in propagating the policies and guidelines of the Party and State to each household group. As a result, in a short time, social evils have decreased significantly, many students have returned to school, and there are no more drunken disturbances or fights.

After 1 year of implementation, the model was replicated in 9/9 hamlets of Dong Chum commune and expanded to the entire district. A typical example is the Xa Sinh Vi Quan clan, one of the Tay ethnic clans with 614 households, 2,237 people, living concentrated in 3 communes of Dong Chum, Muong Chieng, Giap Dat (Da Dac district) launched the model of "self-governing clan" since 2017. Mr. Xa Van Tien, a prestigious person, Head of the Xa Sinh Vi Quan clan, said: About five or seven years ago, in the hamlets and villages of the Tay ethnic community in the 3 communes of Muong Chieng, Giap Dat, Dong Chum, there were still some backward customs in funerals, ceremonies, and weddings. Especially the custom of dowry often became a burden for families. As the head of the clan, he expressed his opinion and discussed with the branches and relatives to find a common consensus. It was not included in the village and hamlet conventions. Up to now, the custom of asking for a high dowry has been reduced, the ceremony procedure is reduced to a maximum of 3 sets of pig legs.

In reality, life in rural families often has many conflicts and disagreements between families, even within the family. As the head of the Xa Sinh Vi Quan clan with over 600 households living in 3 highland communes, Mr. Tien has paid attention, coordinated, and closely contacted representatives of the Liaison Committee, the village chiefs, and the branch chiefs to grasp the situation and have measures to resolve conflicts right at the grassroots level. About 6 years ago, there were a few prominent incidents in the clan, such as: Theft, traffic safety violations... However, up to now, the above situation has been almost completely resolved. Within the clan, there have been some conflicts or disputes between husbands, wives, and children, but they have all been promptly resolved, and no case has had to be transferred to the local authorities for resolution.
