  The Life Quality

   TTVHTT-The peaceful life and calm environment in the Hoi An old town may be one of the important and necessary conditions for people to last their lives out
   The statistics by Hoi An Department of Health Care says the over 60 year-old people in two sub-wards of An Dinh and An Thai (Minh An ward - inside the Old town) account for 14.85 % over their population (569 over 3,831 people). This percentage is quite high if it is compared with equivalent indicators in whole Minh An ward and in whole three urban wards of Minh An, Cam Pho, Son Phong – 12.72 % (1,026 / 8,067 people) and 12.55 % (2,755 / 21,945 people), respectively. Meanwhile, the percentage of over 60 year-old people in whole Hoi An city is just 10.75 %, with 9,352 / 86,927 people
  The above analysis in Hoi An indicates that calm residential areas, environment of non-pollution of noise, dust and smoke … can make the longevity increase.
   Therefore, we can affirm 0that the policy of making Hoi An old town non-motorcycled by the local authority will make an important contribution in enhancing the life quality especially the longevity for the local people.
