Abstract
This paper has the purpose to present briefly in the FIG meeting
the current implementation of the land administration system of
Vietnam and the successful cooperation between Vietnam and Sweden in
this area. The authors focus firstly on the history of land
administration of Vietnam from 1490 when the fist cadastral system was
established. The next part of this paper is concentrated on
description of the current status of the land administration system
including the land legislation, land use planning, cadastral mapping,
land registration, land tenure certificate issuance, and land
information system. Land issues play now an important role in the
social-economic development of Vietnam. After that, the strategic
planning for future development of land administration are discussed
on the basis of the information technology application.
To look for a reasonable solution for completion of the initial
cadastral system oriented to a computerized system, the General
Department of Land Administration (GDLA) needs to carry out several
studies on modern methodologies and technologies. Technical
assistances of the developed countries are very important for decision
on the reform process of land administration system. The authors,
therefore, present the Vietnam-Sweden Cooperation Programme on Land
Administration Reform (CPLAR) with a description of its contents and
results. During the period 1997 - 2001, the first phase of CPLAR is
carrying out several studies on modern methodologies, technology
solutions, foreign experiences learning and human resources
development. CPLAR also considers analysis of socio-economic,
environmental and gender issues in the land administration field. The
CPLAR's activities have assisted in development of several useful
technical solutions for the land administration reform in Vietnam.
