“This is the first time, Quang Nam province has issued the Regulation of Protection of the World Cultural Heritage Site - Hoi An Ancient Town. This Regulation is built on the basis of decrees, circulars and inheritances of six regulations previously issued by Hoi An city. It has many broad, strict and clear regulations creating a specific legal basis in the protection and promotion of the World Cultural Heritage - Hoi An Ancient Town in particular and Hoi An Cultural Heritage in general. Therefore, leaders and agencies must understand the regulations and be responsible for widely propagating and disseminating to the community, especially to the part of residents who are living and using houses/relics in Hoi An Ancient Town”.
