Dr. Dang Kim Son began by a speech on “Policy analysis methods”. According to Dr Dang, there are still a lot of mistake while taking policy analysis. “The way you analysis would lead to some one-sided conclusions and inconsiderate proposes. From his own experiences, Dr Dang said: “Members of Institute are lack of flexibility in using analysis methods. It leads to the fact that their conclusions and proposes are not correct”. Moreover, many Members are “still looking back to the old policies, or giving out high-faluting objectives, and the result is that the conclusion is not matched to the assumptions. In their research, their objectives, contents and conclusions is different from each other”. To advoid these mistake, he advised to clarify the assumptions, estalbishing the cause and effect realtionship and chosing the exact method.
The next speech came from Ma. Phung Duc Tung, he told the attendant that impact evaluation methods were researched and developed from 1974 by Rubin and then Heckman and Angist developed them further. Almost impact evaluation research projects are the combination of quality and quantity analysis. Quanlity analysis is matched with cause and effect evaluation and probably leads to a conclusion for the whole program. In the other hand, quantity analysis would bring futher conclusion about the impact on the inheritors as well as the hiding causes.
Dr. Pham Manh Cuong from the Forest Investigating and Programing Institute, Ministry of Agricutural and Rural Development ended the seminar by the speech on “Collecting and processing information methods in analysis the impact of integration on forest management”. According to Dr. Pham, there are many problem in collecting information about forest like: huge amount of information, difficult to approach. Today, “Remote Sensing” has been used to collect information by many Institutes. “Remote Sensing” is a technology which enabled to send and receive data and information, survey about the preferences of objectives from distant. US Forest Union recommended that “Using remote sensing and related technologies is the one out of ten outstanding advances in the field of forestation in the past ten years”
