Breakthrough in resource management

In the context of the province continuing to promote economic restructuring, environmental protection and climate change adaptation, resource management is identified as one of the breakthroughs to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management and promote sustainable development.

Since the beginning of 2025, the Provincial People's Committee has issued a Plan to monitor the implementation of laws in the field of natural resources and environment (TN&MT), including granting land use right certificates, land recovery; protecting the marine and island environment; establishing and managing water resource protection corridors. On that basis, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (now the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development) has promptly implemented the 2024 Land Law, the 2023 Water Resources Law and guiding decrees and circulars; fully promulgated legal documents under its authority, creating a solid legal framework for management and implementation.

In addition to completing documents, dissemination and training are always focused on. The province has organized training conferences to implement the Law on Water Resources and guiding documents for more than 100 delegates from departments, branches, localities, businesses and related organizations. News, articles and columns on land and water resources management are regularly posted on the provincial electronic information portal and mass media, creating a widespread effect in the community.

After merging the departments, the Provincial People's Committee has reorganized the structure, clearly assigned tasks to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, ensuring sufficient human resources, equipment, and funding for management, inspection, and examination of the field of natural resources and environment. At the same time, localities have completed acceptance, payment, land inventory, and mapping of current land use status in 2024, ready for the stage of digitizing cadastral records and issuing land use right certificates according to the requirements of the new Land Law.

Mineral management - a field that always has the potential for over-exploitation and violations, the province pays special attention to resolving the recommendations and difficulties of mining enterprises in site clearance. The Provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 1420/QD-UBND (dated May 9, 2025) approving the plan to select a consultant to develop the first land price list applicable from January 1, 2026; at the same time, speeding up the approval of the results of selecting consultants to determine land prices for 11 major projects, such as the Ha Long Xanh Urban Complex, Ha Long Ocean Park, etc.

Up to now, the province has leased land to 23 organizations (508.51 hectares), allocated land to 16 organizations (71.89 hectares), extended land leases to 18 organizations (168.12 hectares); recovered land from 4 organizations (17.25 hectares), ensuring a balance between development and resource protection.

In the field of agricultural and forestry land management, the province has developed regulations on contract allocation, decentralization of limits and minimum areas in land division and consolidation to suit the planning, and coordinated with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to implement the allocation of coastal areas for aquaculture according to the planning (1,298.67/2,766.32 ha proposed, reaching nearly 47% of the demand). The province has strengthened the application of IT and digital transformation in resource management. The digitization of land records, issuance of land use right certificates, and the province's electronic one-stop information system for handling administrative procedures have resulted in a 73.9% early resolution rate and a people's satisfaction rate of over 99.9%. The automatic monitoring system and interconnected land data warehouse support timely analysis, forecasting and decision making.

The province always has a policy of listening to and accepting opinions from businesses and people. Reflections and recommendations on land prices, licensing procedures, environmental impacts, etc. are received and thoroughly handled, not allowing "hot spots" to arise.

The above results are a solid premise for the province to continue striving to achieve the 5-year socio -economic development targets for 2021-2025, aiming to become a sustainable "green driving force", harmonizing the interests between economic development and natural resource protection.
