Approval of the Scheme for land inventory and preparation of the land use map in Vietnam in 2024 

(1) Objectives and Requirements of the Scheme

The land inventory and creation of the map of current land use status in 2024 aim to assess the actual land use situation of each administrative unit at the commune, district, and provincial levels, economic-social regions, and the entire country. This assessment serves as a basis for evaluating the management and use of land by various levels over the past five years and proposing mechanisms, policies, and measures to enhance state land management and increase land use efficiency. Additionally, it provides a foundation for adjusting land use planning, plans for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, and constitutes an essential basis for implementing the socio-economic, defense, and security development strategy until 2030, with a vision to 2045;

- The 2024 land inventory will be conducted following the regulations of Article 9 on land classification of the Land Law 2024. During this inventory period, the management and use of golf course lands; airport and airfield lands; lands in eroded and accreted areas; lands originating from agricultural and forestry enterprises, and other special topics at localities will be assessed to serve as a basis for implementing measures to enhance the management and effective use of these land types;

- The organization, collection, processing, summarizing, publication, and storage of inventory data shall be carried out diligently. The 2024 land inventory results and the creation of the map of current land use status must be conducted comprehensively, accurately, and on time; ensuring objectivity, honesty, and a reflection of the actual land use situation.

(2) Scope of Implementation

Scope of implementation: The land inventory and creation of the map of current land use status in 2024 will be carried out nationwide, across all administrative units (commune, district, province), economic-social regions, and the entire country.

The subjects of 2024 include: the area of different land types, various users, and entities assigned for management. During this inventory period, the management and use of golf course lands; airport and airfield lands; lands in eroded and accreted areas; lands originating from agricultural and forestry enterprises, and other special topics at localities will be assessed to serve as a basis for implementing measures to enhance the management and effective use of these land types.
