Key Concepts

• Pickbon/Pô (PB): Refers to the badminton/sports courts causing noise pollution.
• Land Violation: The courts are built on land belonging to the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (formerly Hanoi College of High Technology), constituting illegal encroachment.
• Noise Pollution: The primary issue, stemming from the constant sounds of badminton playing, shouting, and loudspeakers.
• Local Resident Distress: The negative impact of the noise on the health, well-being, and daily lives of nearby residents.
• Enforcement Action: The local authorities (Từ Liêm Ward People's Committee) have issued violation notices and are prepared to enforce demolition if necessary.

Introduction: The Growing Conflict

The report focuses on the escalating conflict between residents of Đình Thôn and the operators of Pickbon (Pô - PB) badminton courts. These courts, attracting hundreds of players daily, are causing significant noise pollution, severely impacting the quality of life for those living nearby. The pricing is attractive – “a few hundred thousand đồng for comfortable play day and night” – but this comes at a considerable cost to the surrounding community.

Operational Details & Pricing

The courts operate with varying hours. Evening play extends until 10 PM (22:00), with hourly rates around 200+ đồng. Daytime rates are slightly lower, exceeding 100 đồng per hour. This affordability contributes to the high volume of players, exacerbating the noise problem.

Resident Testimonials: A Life Disrupted

Residents express profound frustration and distress. A resident describes the constant noise as “bập bập bập bộc” (a repetitive thumping sound) causing headaches. Another states, “Going to work all day and coming home to be tortured by the noise of Bí Cô is unbearable.” Bà Tín, living on the third floor directly adjacent to the courts, details the constant barrage of sounds impacting her family. She specifically mentions the difficulty for elderly residents (“Người già rồi đấy thì khó ngủ lắm, mệt lắm”) and the disruption to children’s studies (“các cháu nó học và nó cứ nhịp nó cứ tăng lên tăng lên”). The overall sentiment is one of constant stress and declining health due to the unrelenting noise. A quote highlighting this is: “Những tiếng đấy nó làm cho mình rất là căng thẳng, rất là khó chịu ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe.”

Escalation of the Problem: A Second Court

The situation is worsened by the recent construction of a second, larger Pickbon court adjacent to the original. This new facility, described as over 6000 m², further intensifies the noise pollution and amplifies the residents’ grievances. Residents express despair at the prospect of continued expansion: “Hàng ngày đã chịu sức ép của sân B ở bên kia. Tiếng ồn gây áp lực đối với đời sống bà con. Mọi người nhìn xem với một hệ thống chân tiếp tục mọc lên như thế này thì chúng tôi người dân ở đây chịu làm sao nổi.”

Legal Status & Local Authority Response

The Từ Liêm Ward People's Committee acknowledges the courts as illegal constructions. They are built on land belonging to the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (Cao đẳng công nghệ cao Hà Nội). The committee has identified two categories of violations: encroachment on university land by an individual, and construction in violation of regulations by Công ty dịch vụ thể thao Đại Kim (Đại Kim Sports Service Company). The committee states they have issued violation notices and are demanding the owner self-remediate and demolish the structures. A representative states: “Sau khi kiểm tra tuần tra kiểm soát thì chúng tôi phát hiện và lập hồ sơ các công trình vi phạm và yêu cầu chủ đầu tư tự khắc phục tháo dỡ công trình. Trong thời gian tới nếu mà chủ đầu tư cố tình không chấp hành tháo dỡ thì chúng tôi sẽ tổ chức cưỡng chế theo quy định.” (After inspection and patrol, we discovered and documented the violations and requested the investor to self-remediate and demolish the structures. In the future, if the investor intentionally fails to comply with the demolition, we will organize forced demolition as prescribed.)

Nighttime Impact & Conclusion

The report concludes by emphasizing the particularly disruptive nature of the noise at night. The sounds of badminton and shouting penetrate homes, eliminating the possibility of peace and quiet. The overall takeaway is a clear depiction of a community suffering from significant noise pollution due to illegally constructed sports facilities, and the local authorities’ stated intention to address the issue through enforcement.
