Summary/Abstract: Development of evaluation relevant indicators and a method for assessing the level of sustainable development is one of the effective ways to monitor and measure the progress toward sustainability. The author developed a system of 20 core indicators of sustainable development in Vietnam and a concept of comprehensive index which allow a quick of recognition of sustainable development level in different spatial units. The results of research indicate that the comprehensive index of sustainable development of Vietnam was still at the low-medium level, but getting better over period of time. There are spatial differences between components of sustainable development and the level of sustainable development is the highest in South East and Red River Delta and the lowest in the northeastern periphery of the country.
