According to Associate Professor Dr. Bui Hoai Son, the new name after the province's merger can become a driving force for solidarity, inspiring people to look to the future.
On February 28, the Politburo and the Secretariat issued Conclusion 127 on the implementation of research and proposals to continue to reorganize the apparatus of the political system. The content includes research on the orientation of merging a number of provincial-level units, ensuring streamlining, efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency.
The spirit of “running and queuing at the same time” has been vigorously implemented by central agencies in the past and now this spirit is spreading in the implementation of administrative boundary rearrangement. Especially, there is a very high consensus from all the people, as well as the active efforts of the entire political system from the central to local levels.
This proves that the policy of restructuring the apparatus from the central to local levels, as well as the study and consideration of restructuring administrative boundaries, is extremely correct. This is identified as an opportunity to reorganize the national development space at the local level to meet the requirements of double-digit economic growth.
In that process, if the name and administrative boundaries are changed, it will certainly not be just a name and many issues will arise. To better understand this issue, a reporter from the Industry and Trade Newspaper had a conversation with Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son - Standing Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education.

More than just an administrative title
According to National Assembly delegate, Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son, the name of a locality is not only an administrative designation but also carries historical memories, cultural values and pride of the people. When a province merges with another province, the cultural space of each locality will have an exchange and interweaving. A place name is not only a geographical designation, but also a spiritual symbol of the people living there for many generations.
According to National Assembly delegate, Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son, the selection of a name after the province's merger to ensure cultural, historical and local identity factors must be based on criteria. According to him, the selection of a name after the province's merger is not simply an administrative decision, but also a story of history, culture and local identity. A name is not just a title, but also a memory, a source of pride for many generations, a link between the past and the future.
" I think that when naming a new province, it is necessary to inherit the values that have been shaped for a long time, avoiding fading important historical marks. I realize that a meaningful name must reflect the characteristics of the land, expressing a distinct spirit and culture, so that when mentioned, people can immediately imagine what belongs to that place. Consulting the opinions of the people, of historical and cultural researchers is extremely important, because they are the ones who understand best the value of each name, each place name that has entered the subconscious of the community. Without consensus, a name, no matter how good, can hardly become a source of common pride, " Associate Professor Dr. Bui Hoai Son emphasized and said that mechanically combining two place names together is sometimes not the optimal solution, because it can lose the naturalness in the language and make it difficult to create a distinct mark. A beautiful name is not only easy to call, easy to remember but also has to evoke positive images. extremely, expressing the local development aspirations in the future. And most importantly, that name must bring a sense of closeness and familiarity to the people living on that land, so that they can feel that, despite the administrative changes, the identity of their homeland remains intact.
“ I believe that, if carefully considered and carefully selected with the consensus of the community, the new name will not only be a connection between lands, but also a new symbol of solidarity, development and integration in the new era” , Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son shared.
How does the name affect the economic sector?
Many people believe that changing the name of a province or city can also affect local brand recognition, especially in the economic field. Place names associated with typical products, geographical indications, and famous brands, if suddenly changed, can cause difficulties in promotion and marketing. Therefore, if there is a change, a systematic communication roadmap is needed, along with policies to support businesses during the transition period.
Regarding this issue, Associate Professor Dr. Bui Hoai Son expressed his opinion that, in terms of socio-economics, a name can bring positive effects if it creates a clear identity, helping to promote the local image more strongly. In the context of integration and development, a place name with a strong brand can contribute to attracting investment, promoting tourism and enhancing the position of the locality in the eyes of domestic and foreign friends. On the contrary, if the new name is not attractive, does not reflect the identity or is too unfamiliar to the public, it can cause the locality to lose its competitive advantage, making it difficult to build its image in national and international forums.
Therefore, many opinions believe that, in order to maximize the benefits that a new name brings, the selection needs to be done systematically, with the participation of people, researchers and experts. The important thing is to ensure inheritance and development, both preserving existing values and expressing the local aspiration to rise in the new period, starting the era of national rise.
Experts say that the name of the province after the merger is not simply an administrative decision but also a story of emotions, memories and identity. To have a reasonable decision and receive the highest consensus, the most important thing is to have extensive consultation from historical and cultural researchers, management experts and especially the opinions of the people.
“ In addition, the media also plays an important role in helping people understand and agree with this decision. When consultation and communication work is done well, change will no longer be a pressure but become an opportunity for localities to enter a new stage of development, both inheriting traditional values and looking towards the future, ” said Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son.
