How does the Land Law regulate the investigation, assessment, protection, improvement and restoration of land?
The 2024 Land Law has more specific and detailed regulations on land investigation, evaluation, protection, improvement and restoration. So what are those regulations?. The issue of concern of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai (Nghi Loc, Nghe An).
Answer: Previously, the 2013 Land Law did not provide specific regulations on principles of land investigation, evaluation, and land protection, improvement, and restoration, which led to many difficulties and shortcomings in land resource management. Recognizing these limitations, the 2024 Land Law added new regulations in Article 51, establishing clear principles to overcome shortcomings in the process of land assessment, statistics, and inventory. These new regulations not only focus on promoting land investigation and evaluation to prevent land degradation and pollution, but also aim to improve the quality and efficiency of land use.
Accordingly, Article 51 of the 2024 Land Law stipulates four principles of land investigation, evaluation, and land protection, improvement, and restoration, including:
1. Ensure timeliness, objectivity, and accurate reflection of the actual status of land resources.
2. Implement nationwide, in socio-economic regions, provincial administrative units and ensure continuity and succession.
3. The State guarantees funding for land investigation and assessment; encourages organizations and individuals to work with the State to protect, improve and restore land.
4. Timely provide information and data to serve the State management of land and the land information needs for economic, social, defense, security, scientific research, education and training activities and other needs of the State and society.
All these principles not only demonstrate the State's commitment to effectively managing land resources but also play an important role in environmental protection and sustainable development for the future.
