Methods for preserving and promoting the cultural values of traditional craft villages in economic development in Hanoi

Abstract

With a rich and long-standing system of craft villages, Hanoi possesses a unique cultural resource of great historical and economic value. Preserving and promoting the cultural value of traditional craft villages is considered a strategic approach to enhance competitiveness, promote sustainable production, and increase the brand value of the villages. Therefore, exploring suitable methods to effectively conserve and utilize this resource is a necessary and practically meaningful issue today. In addition to the important legal policies of local authorities, traditional craft villages actively register trademarks, develop tourism, stabilize raw material areas, and apply technology to both preserve the distinctive characteristics of the villages and diversify products, thereby reducing environmental pollution. Through these efforts, they contribute to increasing economic value and promoting Hanoi's craft villages' image both domestically and internationally.
