Ho Chi Minh City speeds up cleaning of land data

On the afternoon of October 30, the Department of Agriculture and Environment (DARD) of Ho Chi Minh City coordinated with the Ho Chi Minh City Police to organize a conference to review 60 days of implementing Plan No. 94/KH-UBND of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on building and perfecting the land database (DB).

The conference was held online from the Department of Agriculture and Environment's meeting hall, connecting to 168 locations including commune-level People's Committees and special administrative regions throughout the city.

Speaking at the conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Agriculture and Environment, emphasized that the land database is the core foundation for unified, transparent, and effective management. However, in reality, the data currently contains much inaccurate, duplicated, and inconsistent information between paper records, digital records, and cadastral maps. Therefore, cleaning, standardizing, and enriching the data is a crucial step to ensure that the data meets the criteria of being "accurate, complete, clean, active, and consistent for common use," serving the people and state management.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tien, Head of the Land Surveying and Archiving Technical Department – ​​Ho Chi Minh City Land Registration Office, said that during the implementation process, some localities encountered difficulties due to continuous changes in land use, a large number of land parcels, while officials had to handle multiple tasks, leading to overload in some areas.

Assessing the results of the first 60 days of the "90-day campaign to clean and enrich land data," Colonel Nguyen Dinh Duong, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Police, said that the entire city has successfully matched more than 4 million pieces of information on land users and homeowners with the national database on population, and nearly 2.5 million land parcels have been synchronized into the national land database.

Colonel Nguyen Dinh Duong highly appreciated the sense of responsibility of the units, especially the Land Registration Offices of the three regions under the Department of Agriculture and Environment and the PC06 Department of the City Police, which coordinated synchronously and implemented seriously, creating clear changes. However, he also frankly acknowledged that the progress among localities is still uneven.

During the final 30 days of the campaign, especially the next 15 days, Colonel Nguyen Dinh Duong requested that the heads of commune-level police and the heads of the Economic, Infrastructure, and Urban Planning departments be directly responsible to the People's Committees at the same level for the progress of implementation. Units need to focus on handling tasks according to the principle: "Easy tasks first – difficult tasks later," ensuring close coordination between the two forces at the grassroots level. At the same time, the process of collecting and updating data must strictly comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security , and the copying and transmission of data via personal devices is strictly prohibited.
