been taking place in all countries around the world In our country, this process is occurring strongly This trend is aligned with the context of economic development towards industrialization, modernization and global integration This process is followed by major changes in all aspects: economic, social, cultural ones in rural areas, etc In nature, this is the process of transferring a rural social organization into an urban social one or" from the village to the city" which is not only happening in many suburban areas, but also in many villages in Vietnam Hanoi is the country's capital and also a growing city both in-width and indepth As a result, the urbanization process in Hanoi is taking place very strongly, especially in the suburban areas The fast process of urbanization in Hanoi has turned many suburban areas into the inner ones, and many suburban areas have become suburbs Together with this process, there is a drastic change from landscape to careers, population proportion which previously worked in agricultural sector to non-agricultural areas In addition, the change can be seen in lifestyles, from rural to urban ones, and in customs and practices, administrative apparatus from rural (villages, communes) to urban ones (wards) Kim Lu is an ancient village with a long historical and cultural tradition is also integrating into the urbanization trend Kim Lu is a village with well - known academic and fond of learning tradition lying along the river This is a typical village sharing the similar characteristics with any other villages in the north areas from the landscape with village gates, banyan trees, wells, and yards of communal houses in villages to customs of the people Inhabitants here used to live mainly on agriculture and other occupations associated with agriculture, etc However, in the process of urbanization and capital expansion, Kim Lu village has become a part of Dai Kim Ward, Hanoi City Therefore, this village has been going on with a lot of changes in all aspects from economic, social to cultural one both positively and negatively In learning about the process of changing from village to urban area in Kim Lu, the research aims at clarifying changes in socio - economic aspects, especially its impact on people living in this area It is hoped that this research can provide a comprehensive, in-depth look on the process of urbanization in the suburban village of our country nowadays From which, it is targeted to offer more information for administrators while making polices so that proper and practical suggestions for the sustainable development in suburban areas can be given contributing to the development of the country today Literature Review Villages in Vietnam were formed very early, nearly at the time of establishing the first State Villages play a very important role in the country's history and in the life of each person; thus, village has been the topic studies by a variety of research scientists for a long time Since the seventeenth century, there were some works referring to Vietnamese village; however, a majority of materials is mainly collected by Western traders and missionaries a number of works such as A Description of External Area by S.Baron, The history of External Area by Richard, External Area Kingdom by A de Rhodes, New and interesting review on External Area by Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, etc Until late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, monographs on Vietnamese villages written by French authors such as La Commune Annamite au Tonkin (An Nam Villages in the North) by P.Ory (Pairs, 1894 ) appeared And after the First World War, a number of studies carried out by Vietnamese authors in addition to ones by French could be seen, such as Vietnam's customs by Phan Ke Binh, Recherche sur la Commune Annamite (Research on An Nam Villages) by Nguyen Van Huyen, etc So far, many researches on villages and communes have been successfully conducted by Vietnamese author such as Farmers' issues by Qua Ninh and Van Dinh (1937), Vietnam's communes by Nguyen Hong Phong (1959), Vietnam's villages by Toan Anh (1968), Vietnam's rural areas in the history by Institute of History, Organizational structure of the traditional villages in the North by Tran Tu (1984), Experiences on arranging and managing Vietnam's rural areas in the history by Professor and Assistant Doctor Phan Dai Doan Nguyen Quang Ngoc (ch.b) (1994), Some issues on Vietnam's villages and communes by Nguyen Quang Ngoc (2009), etc Urbanization and its impact on society, environment and family have drawn much attention of many scientists and managers Especially, in recent years, along with the strong development of industrialization and modernization has created a lot of issues and challenges for not only policy makers but also scientists In 1960s, the book The history of Hanoi edited by Tran Huy Lieu described comprehensively and systematically all aspects of Hanoi's historical development for a long time from the beginning of the eleventh century to 1960 The book also analyzed and reviewed historical, social and economic issues happening in Hanoi in each different period In addition, the process of expansion and development of the capital was also clarified Other books written by Tran Quoc Vuong includes “Hanoi with thousand civilized years” and other researches such as: Hanoi's geographical and historical position (1984), Realizing ancient Hanoi via remains (1986), Thang Long - Dong Do - Ke Cho (general planning and markets in particular) (1987), Introduction of Dong Da and Dong Da Mound (1989), Discovery of Hanoi's cultural values (1993), etc and a number of other studies such as: Thang
