Guidelines on preparation work for establishing application for forest boundary demarcation in Vietnam from February 1, 2025

The preparatory work for establishing application for forest boundary demarcation in Vietnam is guided as follows:

- Collect relevant information and materials to serve the task: collect documents, current forest status maps, local cadastral maps for marking, forest boundary demarcation tables, land allocation maps, land lease decisions, land allocation decisions, land lease, land use right certification, forest establishment decisions of forest owners.

- Develop a technical outline and budget estimate: analyze data, determine objectives, content, implementation methods; determine the volume of work; develop a budget estimate for the task of establishing forest boundary demarcation files, marking, and forest boundary demarcation tables.

- Conference to approve the technical outline and budget estimate.

- Revise the technical outline and cost estimate for the task based on the conference's conclusions and submit it to the competent authority for approval.

- Design the technical implementation of the task: detail the time, methods, technical measures, and technology to implement each specific task.

- Disseminate technical measures to the team participating in the task.

- Develop an implementation plan for the task, including: content, location of implementation, implementation time, personnel participation, expected outcomes, report on task deployment results, and templates for work minutes, survey forms, interview templates, consultation, synthesis tables.

- Transfer sub-compartment, section, plot boundaries, and forest owner boundaries onto the current forest status map: use the current forest status map as the forest boundary demarcation map; transfer all sub-compartment, section, plot boundaries, forest owner boundaries, as well as the boundaries of the three types of forests onto the current forest status map; preliminarily design the proposed location of markers, and boundary tables on the map, using the forest boundary demarcation map to determine the layout of marker positions and boundary tables.

- Prepare materials and technical equipment: prepare necessary machinery, equipment, supplies, tools; reporting templates, print templates to serve the work of forest boundary demarcation on the field.
