The Economic and Budget Committee of Thua Thien Hue province believes that adjusting and expanding the scope of the project will speed up the process of relocating people out of the protected area of the relic, contributing to preserving and promoting the value of the relic, and creating momentum for local economic development.

After 1975, many Nguyen Dynasty relics in Hue were encroached upon by people to build houses, some of which are no longer intact. From 2019 to present, Thua Thien Hue province has relocated people from relics in the areas of Thuong Thanh, Eo Bau, Ho Thanh Hao - Tuyen Phong Lo, Tran Binh Dai, Tinh Tam Lake, Dan Xa Tac, the area adjacent to the Provincial Military Command, Hoc Hai Lake, Kham Thien Giam, Xien Vo Tu and Luc Bo at Thuong Thu Duong Bo Cong. The number of affected households is 5,024 (2,239 main households, 2,785 secondary households).

To relocate people, the locality has built a resettlement area in the north of Huong So, An Hoa ward and Huong So ward from area 1 to area 10 with a total area of 82.77 hectares.
