Leaders of Quy Hop District People's Committee pointed out some objective reasons such as some consulting units on surveying, cadastral mapping and land use right certificate issuance were slow in completing the dossiers; and did not send staff directly to the commune to supplement.

The capacity of some officials working in State management of land, especially in remote communes, is still limited, lacking experience and not fully understanding the history, origin and land use process of the people.

During the process of reviewing and appraising the application for the Land Use Right Certificate, the confirmation of the origin and land use period of some communes did not accurately reflect the actual use.

In addition, some people and land users are not aware of the benefits of being granted a Land Use Right Certificate, have not voluntarily fulfilled their responsibilities, are slow in declaring and registering; in many cases, they still expect support from the State in fulfilling related financial obligations...

Accordingly, the leader of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district proposed that the province direct consulting units to speed up the progress of preparing documents, declaring and granting Land Use Right Certificates for 17 communes in the district, completing the work of measuring cadastral maps and completing the work of measuring cadastral maps for the remaining communes; allocating funds in the annual budget estimate to speed up the implementation of the project to build a cadastral records system and a land management database in the locality...

However, the Head of the Provincial People's Council's Legal Committee also emphasized that there are still many shortcomings in land management, some commune-level authorities are still lax and indifferent in this issue, converting land for the wrong purpose...
