Improve the effectiveness of planning and land use planning

Reasonable land allocation

Land use planning and plans are important bases for implementing specialized planning, and are the basis for land allocation, land lease, and land use conversion. Therefore, the People's Committee of Chi Lang district always pays close attention to and directs the implementation of land use planning and plans, with the viewpoint: Using land economically, reasonably, effectively, and in conjunction with protecting the ecological environment.

Chi Lang Land Registration Office Branch guides people in carrying out land procedures.

According to the 2023 Land Use Plan, Chi Lang has a total area of over 70,400 hectares; of which, over 53,400 hectares are agricultural land; over 4,200 hectares are non-agricultural land; over 12,700 hectares are unused land. It is expected to convert 426 hectares of agricultural land to non-agricultural land; reclaim 392 hectares of agricultural land, 46.6 hectares of non-agricultural land; and put 173.7 hectares of unused land into use.

The process of implementing planning and land use plans closely follows the situation and results of implementing previous planning and plans, local socio -economic development plans; with the participation of opinions from people, sectors, communes and towns. Ensure that land is arranged reasonably and harmoniously, meeting the land use needs of all levels, sectors, organizations and individuals, building technical infrastructure, urban and rural residential areas, contributing to the development of the district in the short term as well as in the long term.

Accordingly, agricultural land continues to decrease, focusing on converting crop structure, investing in intensive farming, increasing crops, applying scientific and technological advances in production to increase land use coefficient. Expanding non-agricultural land area to build technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, develop urban areas, tourism, and services. Fully exploiting unused land fund, but must ensure savings, harmony, proper use, and sufficient demand. Closely combining land improvement with land use, especially agricultural land, to increase soil fertility, prevent soil degradation, protect ecological environment, and urban landscape.

Mr. Le Anh Tung - Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Chi Lang district, said: In recent years, the work of land allocation, land recovery, and land use conversion in the district has always closely followed the planning and land use plan approved by the Provincial People's Committee. Thanks to that, the work of managing urban areas and rural residential areas has had positive changes compared to the previous period, gradually overcoming the situation of illegal land use conversion, not following the planning, limiting land disputes and complaints.

The district also always prioritizes allocating enough land for the purposes of industrial development, tourism services and other production and business purposes. Along with that, through the auction of land use rights and bidding for projects using land, land has become an important financial resource serving the local socio-economic development.

Promoting the people's supervisory role

After the planning and land use plan were approved by the Provincial People's Committee, Chi Lang organized the announcement and publicization to all levels, sectors and people in the district to know and supervise the implementation. Through that, it helps land users grasp information and correctly perceive the role and importance of planning and land use plans in socio-economic development.

Land use planning and plans contribute to improving the effectiveness of state management of land.

Regularly urge relevant units to strictly implement land use plans, ensuring consistency and continuity in land management and use. Review and resolutely reclaim projects that have not put land into use after the prescribed time limit or are ineffectively used to organize auctions of land use rights and bids to select investors to implement projects using land.

Assign the People's Committees of communes and towns to regularly inspect land use in the management area to promptly detect and recommend competent authorities to handle cases of land use for improper purposes or not in accordance with land use planning and plans.

However, in addition, in some residential areas, there are still cases of encroachment, illegal construction, construction not in accordance with planning, not for the right purpose. The management of land records in localities still has many shortcomings, leading to difficulties in inspection, supervision, and implementation of land use plans. Investment resources for implementing some projects using land as defined in land use planning and plans are still limited due to many subjective and objective factors, directly affecting the implementation of planning and land use planning targets.

Currently, Chi Lang is focusing on completing the 2024 Land Use Plan to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval. At the same time, continue to promote propaganda, education, and raise awareness for organizations and individuals on land management and use. Allocate resources to complete land registration work and build a database of land information systems.

Strengthen inspection and examination of land use by land users according to the plan to promptly detect and strictly handle violations. Improve the effectiveness of supervision by People's Councils, Fatherland Front Committees at all levels, socio-political organizations and people in land management, planning management and land use plans. Focus on receiving and properly handling voters' opinions, recommendations and reflections on land management in the whole district.
