PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT IN HOA LOI WARD, HO CHI MINH CITY: ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION IN 2025 AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS UNTIL 2030.

Abstract

In the context of increasing land use demand and the need to improve the efficiency of land resource management in urban areas, the management of public land in Hoa Loi Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, is raising many issues that need to be evaluated and improved. Using methods of document collection and analysis, field surveys, expert and community consultations, combined with processing secondary data from state management agencies and the list of public land areas, this study aims to assess the current state of public land, the management situation, and propose solutions to improve the efficiency of public land management and use in the study area. The results show that the total area of public land is 24.97 hectares, classified into 6 types, with cemetery land accounting for the largest proportion at 11.34 hectares (45.41%). Comparison with the land use plan until 2030 shows that 6 plots of land for public works will continue to be used stably, and 14 plots of cemetery land are slated for relocation. Based on this, the study proposes 4 groups of solutions to strengthen the management of public land, among which the solution of publicly disclosing information, marking boundaries, and installing signs indicating the location of public land is considered the most important, with a 74% agreement rate. The study shows that transparency of information and enhanced on-site identification of public land areas are key factors in improving management efficiency, contributing to the rational and sustainable use of public land resources in the locality.
