What are the rules for formulating land use planning and land use plans in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Article 60 of the Land Law 2024, the rules for formulating land use planning and land use plans in Vietnam are stipulated as follows:
- The preparation of land use planning at all levels must comply with the principles and relationships between different types of planning as prescribed by the Planning Law.
- Land use planning at all levels must aggregate and balance the land use needs of sectors and fields that use the land.
- National land use planning must ensure the specificity and regional linkage; ensure the balance between the land use needs of sectors, fields, and localities, and be appropriate to the national land potential to use land economically and efficiently.
- Land use planning and plans prepared at national, provincial, and district levels must meet the requirements for the rapid and sustainable socio-economic development strategy; ensure national defense and security.
- Ensure consistency and synchronization; higher-level land use planning must ensure the land use needs of lower levels; lower-level land use planning must be consistent with higher-level land use planning; district-level land use planning must determine the land use contents down to the commune level; land use plans must be consistent with the land use planning of the same level approved by the competent authority.
- The content of land use planning must combine land use indicators linked with space, land use zoning, and natural ecosystems.
- Use land economically and efficiently; rationally exploit natural resources and protect the environment; adapt to climate change; ensure national food security and forest cover; conserve, embellish, and promote the value of historical-cultural relics, and scenic spots.
- Ensure continuity, inheritance, stability, specificity, and the linkage of socio-economic regions; balance harmoniously between sectors, fields, localities, and generations; be suitable with the land potential.
- The preparation of land use planning and plans at all levels must ensure the participation of political-social organizations, communities, and individuals; ensure publicity and transparency.
- Land use planning at all levels is prepared simultaneously; higher-level land use planning must be decided and approved before lower-level land use planning. When the land use planning period ends but the next period's land use planning has not been decided and approved by the competent authority, the unused land use indicators will continue to be implemented until the next period's land use planning is decided and approved by the competent state authority.
- Land use plans are prepared simultaneously with the preparation and adjustment of land use planning at the same level. The land use plan for the first year of district-level land use planning is prepared simultaneously with the preparation of district-level land use planning.
