Raising public awareness and participation of the local communities can have an important input for public involvement in the project design and implementation process, and it has become a major objective of sound development programs. This chapter focuses on (1) public participation in the design and adjust boundary of the underground station of the Metro line 2 in Ho Chi Minh City and (2) public awareness and participation in canal environmental protection. Research is mainly based on the results of community meetings on project information, communication to raise public awareness on environmental protection, and survey questionnaires. The study will add to several recent studies on the roles of public participation in infrastructure projects for sustainable development. There are three important lessons that stand out from the experiences using public consultants in infrastructure projects.

Both natural and anthropogenic forces could play significant roles in coastal erosion in Western Taiwan and Central Vietnam's coastlines. Intensive socio-economic development, sea level rise, more frequent and strong intensity of disasters are predicted to occur in a future of global climate change, which poses an urgent need for coastal hazard management strategies. This chapter describes main causes and discusses the applied engineering interventions to reduce coastal erosion at these sites. Hard engineering structures are often constructed in these areas, but they seem to be merely short-term costly solutions and have a negative impact on the coastal environment and its residents. Nature-based solutions and soft engineering approaches are proposed, which seem to be sustainable and less expensive than hard engineering options. These possible future solutions can be applied in coastal settings to meet the principles of sustainable and humanitarian engineering with multiple benefits to reduce the risk and negative impacts on both humans and the environment.
