HCMC – Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has signed a directive initiating a nationwide land inventory, set to start on August 1, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
The 2024 land inventory will include the areas of various land types as outlined in Articles 6 and 7 of the 2024 Land Law, as well as the management and use of land for golf courses, airports, erosion-prone areas, reclamation sites, and land from agricultural and forestry estates.
The inventory is intended to assess the current status of land management and use, track land changes over the past five years in each locality, evaluate compliance with land regulations by organizations and individuals, and propose measures to improve land use efficiency.
Data will be collected up to December 31, 2024.
Provincial-level governments are responsible for setting the deadlines for completing and submitting the land inventory results, which must be finalized by June 30, 2025.
The Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security will submit their results to provincial-level governments by March 31, 2025, for reporting to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment by June 30, 2025.
The results of the 2024 land inventory are expected to be published by September 30, 2025.
The inventory will be used as a basis to propose mechanisms, policies, and measures to enhance the effectiveness of state management over land.
It will provide statistical data to support economic, social, national defense, and security activities, as well as scientific research and education. Additionally, it will help adjust planning and land use strategies for national defense, security, and other purposes for the 2021-2030 period, with an outlook through 2045.
