Resumo

The rapid commodification of urban heritage sites in the Global South, such as Hanoi's Old Quarter, exacerbates severe environmental degradation. This poses a critical threat to environmental security and disproportionately impacts female informal workers, who sustain the local tourism economy. This study examined the complex intersection of environmental security, sustainable tourism, and gender dynamics within Vietnam's evolving legal framework, specifically analyzing the enforcement of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and the Cultural Heritage Law 2024. A qualitative socio-legal approach was employed, integrating dogmatic analysis of statutory frameworks with a zetetic evaluation of localized spatial and gendered realities. Results indicated that while environmental protection strongly dictates tourist loyalty, a profound disjuncture existed between progressive macro-legal mandates and gender-blind micro-level enforcement. Female informal workers endured the chronic "slow violence" of urban pollution while acting as unrecognized environmental stewards. The study introduces the Gender-Responsive Urban Heritage Security (GUHS) Model, theoretically advancing environmental jurisprudence. Practically, it advocates for mandatory Gender Impact Assessments and the inclusive formalization of female workers to achieve genuine socio-environmental resilience.
