In consideration of the National Assembly oversight delegation’s Report No. 28/BC-DGS of May 20, 2019, on oversight results of the implementation of policies and laws on urban land planning, management and use from the effective date of the 2013 Land Law to the end of 2018, and opinions of the National Assembly deputies;

RESOLVES:

Article 1. Evaluation of implementation results

The National Assembly agrees with the National Assembly oversight delegation’s Report No. 28/BC-DGS of May 20, 2019, on oversight results of the implementation of policies and laws on urban land planning, management and use from the effective date of the 2013 Land Law to the end of 2018, with the results as well as shortcomings and limitations and main causes thereof listed below:

The policies and laws on urban land planning, management and use have been promulgated in a relatively synchronous and timely manner and in various fields, fundamentally concretized the Party’s guidelines, well suited the national development and international practice, and laid an important legal foundation for urban land planning, management and use. The implementation of policies and laws has recorded positive improvements and the effectiveness of urban land management and use has gradually increased, thus contributing to reducing losses, negative phenomena and wastes. Land use master plans and plans and urban master plans have helped better exploit land potential for socio-economic development, national defense and security and environmental protection. The determination of administrative boundaries, survey, and making of cadastral maps have basically been completed. Land allocation, land lease, and change of land use purposes have been on the right track. Land-related financial policies and land prices have seen numerous changes and land revenues have made significant contributions to the state budget. Land recovery, compensation, support and resettlement policies have become stricter and better guaranteed the interests of persons whose land is recovered, thus creating a consensus among the people. Improvements have been recognized in the compliance with urban master plans and the land law. Due attention has been paid to the inspection and examination work and handling of violations of the regulations on urban planning and land management and use. All-level administrations have paid attention to the settlement of land-related complaints and denunciations and handled complicated complaints involving lots of people, and such complaints and denunciations have seen reduction in number year by year. Spacious and modern urban systems have been formed with dramatically changed urban appearance, and improved infrastructure and people’s life, thus promoting the development of socio-economic activities. Social welfare policies have been implemented synchronously with urban development policies. Localities have paid greater attention to the allocation of land areas to building social houses to meet low-income earners’ demands.
