Participatory policy on benefit harmonization for land compensation, livelihood support, resettlement and acquisition

Abstract

Land is public property, owned by all the people, and represented and uniformly managed by the State. The State acquires land for use for defense and security purposes; socio-economic development for national and public interests in accordance with the law, ensuring fairness, openness, transparency, and promoting accountability. Through the process of summarizing 10 years of implementing Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW of the 11th Party Central Committee and implementing the Land Law, the mechanisms and policies for land acquisition, compensation, resettlement and livelihood support have been breakthrough innovations, contributing to the effective exploitation and promotion of land resources to serve socio-economic development goals, ensure national food security, and protect the environment. However, in the process of practical implementation, the current compensation work still has some shortcomings, leading to complaints and lawsuits occurring in many places. Within the scope of the article, the authors analyze the current situation and propose to improve mechanisms and policies on land recovery, compensation, support, and resettlement to ensure harmonious relations of interests of the parties.
