The Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment (Isponre) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment hosted a seminar entitled “Land-use planning and long-term land resource management strategy building in Vietnam” in Hanoi on October 1, 2013.
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Nguyen Manh Hien said, land-use planning is being set at four levels in accordance with the Land Law 2003. Land fund has been reasonably allocated and basically met development needs. Nevertheless, land planning in some localities is wasteful and inefficient, resulting to rampant corruption and public anxieties. Hence, in the current globalisation and international integration, land planning will have to resolve conflicts between population growth and food security, between industrialisation and modernisation, coupled with climate change impacts, with secured land for agricultural production; between production rights and land-use rights; and others.
Accelerating socioeconomic development leads to an increasing demand for land but the land fund is shrinking because of climate change. Therefore, Vietnam needs plans and strategies to use land in the most efficiently manner for the good development and protection of this resource.
