11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

- Effectively apply systematic theory and geotechnical systematic theory for urban area into evaluating and forecasting environmental – geotechnical hazards in Hanoi city.

- Build a system of maps dividing engineering geology, maps dividing geological background structure of Hanoi city with the scale of 1:50,000, maps showing impacts on Hanoi’s geological environment by the urban technical system.

- Calculate and build maps forecasting environmental – geotechnical hazards in Hanoi city (zoning maps forecasting land subsidence caused by ground filling load, zoning maps forecasting land subsidence caused by Hanoi city’s construction load with the scale of 1:50,000, zoning maps forecasting land subsidence caused by underground water exploitation with the scale of 1:25,000).

- Calculate and forecast environmental – geotechnical hazards (tunnel vault collapse, tunnel wall slide, tunnel floor swelling, water seeping into foundation pit...) related to Hanoi city’s specific underground constructions (point-based and line-based).

12. Practical applicability, if any:

The thesis results are reference document for concerning authorities to carry out construction investigation, projection and design in considerations of hazard prevention, environmental protection, sustainable development and strategy of efficiently managing and exploiting geological and environmental resources in Hanoi.

13. Further research directions, if any:

- Research on measures to minimize environmental – geotechnical hazards in Hanoi city.

- Build observation and monitor system to support the management of urban geotechnical system.
