Land is a particularly important resource for socio-economic development. However, despite the achievements, land management over the years has still faced numerous limitations. In some localities, cadastral records have not been digitized uniformly; land data remains scattered and lacks connectivity between different levels and sectors. Many places still manage land using paper records, and the updating of land changes is not timely, leading to inaccurate information and difficulties in management. The synchronization of local land databases with the national land database requires multiple iterations...
The lack of digitalization in land management is also one of the reasons why land information is not publicly and transparently available, causing difficulties for both management agencies and citizens, and easily leading to prolonged disputes and lawsuits. The absence of a complete and accurate land data system, from a governance perspective, also limits the effectiveness of land planning, forecasting, valuation, real estate market management, and the exploitation of land resources for development.
A land database is a collection of land data organized and arranged for access, exploitation, management, and updating through electronic means. The land price surges that have occurred in many localities in recent years show that they stem from a lack of information related to land among the population. Therefore, building a complete land database would be a tool to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state land management. When all information about land parcels, users, planning, and land changes is fully updated, unified, and connected in a digital environment, management agencies can monitor and supervise; helping to make land planning, valuation, investment attraction, real estate market development, and resource mobilization from land more effective.
In reality, land procedures have often been described as a "jungle of procedures," therefore, building a complete land database is a crucial foundation for administrative reform, reducing costs and time for citizens and businesses. Citizens can complete many procedures online without having to re-provide information that government agencies already possess. When all land data and information are transparent, it will help limit negative practices, corruption, and policy abuse, and prevent illegal interference with land records for personal gain.
Resolution 79-NQ/TW of the Politburo clearly states: “Striving to complete the surveying, statistics, digitization, and cleaning of the national land data system by the end of 2026, connecting and sharing it with other national data systems.” In a recent speech, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung emphasized that completing the national land database is a particularly important task aimed at reforming national governance methods. Based on this, the Deputy Prime Minister requested ministries, sectors, and localities to continue fully implementing the task of building the land database, ensuring three overarching principles: not delaying the completion target by 2026, not lowering the requirements for data quality, and not allowing data to be created but not put into use. The final product is that each land parcel has complete, standardized, verified, updated, connected, and effectively used data in practice.
The goal of building a national land database by 2026 is clear; the crucial task is for ministries, sectors, and localities to immediately begin implementation to meet the deadline. To achieve this, it is necessary to continue improving the institutional framework, technical standards, and regulations on data sharing and exploitation, ensuring that data is built uniformly nationwide. Ministries, sectors, and localities must accelerate the digitization of land records, regularly update land changes, and ensure that the data is "accurate, complete, clean, and up-to-date." Strengthening the connection and interoperability of land databases with other national databases will create a synchronized data ecosystem. And, most importantly, accountability must be linked to a mechanism for inspection, supervision, and strict handling of responsibility based on clear responsibilities, tasks, timelines, and expected results.
Completing the national land database by 2026 is not simply the completion of an IT project. It is a crucial foundational step towards building a modern, transparent, and efficient land governance system. This will unlock land resources for economic development, aiming for double-digit growth.
