Last year, Nha Trang City also got many positive results in building cultural life in communities. Specifically, 89% of hamlets and residential groups were recognized as cultural residential areas; 92% of households were honored as cultural families; eight wards satisfied the criteria for urban civilization; 115 weddings and 1,924 out of 1,930 funerals were held in civilized ways.
 
Under the directions of the city People's Committee on handling advertising violating regulations, the functional agencies and localities inspected, handled and penalized the violations, collected VND36,600,000 fine. In addition, the city's cultural-information interdisciplinary inspection team inspected 170 business establishments and discovered 12 ones violating regulations on culture and advertising; coordinated with the local people's committees to inspect and supervise 220 karaoke establishments, public internet places, discos, bars, etc. to ensure the compliance with the regulations on temporary closure during COVID-19 outbreak. 
 
Besides the positive results, there were still shortcomings in directing and managing the operations of cultural, information and advertising establishments. In 2021, the city’s culture sector will try to organize well the cultural activities as planned and strengthen the management in the fields of culture, information and advertising, according to Tran Thanh Nha, deputy head of Nha Trang City Bureau of Culture and Information.
