a) Viewpoints

- As land is a special national resource important for national development, land use planning must ensure economical, efficient and sustainable use of land; increase in economic and financial value that land brings about to ensure the highest land use efficiency, meeting both immediate and long-term goals for socio-economic development; national defense and security maintenance.

- Land use planning is the fundamental planning and is aligned with the national master planning; is associated with sectoral, regional and local planning to create inter-regional and inter-provincial connectivity in order to exploit the land strengths and potentials of each region and locality which serve as the basis to change the land use structure in line with the process of economic restructuring and labor division to meet the requirements of industrialization, modernization and international economic integration.

- Strictly protect ​rice cultivation land, protective forest land, special-use forest land, land of nature conservation zones, land of production forests being natural forests and land of scenic relics to ensure national food security and sustainable forest management; ensure the better coordination between socio-economic development objectives, national defense and security tasks; protect ecological landscapes and biodiversity; protect water sources, adapt to climate change and sea level rise.

- Develop unoccupied land reserves by wasteland or sea land reclamation; construction of underground works in areas where conditions permit; investment in construction of infrastructure, development of industrial sectors, services and tourism to effectively exploit and use land potentials in midlands, mountainous, border, coastal and island areas. Allow conversion of paddy land in saline, drought, flooded areas to be used for other purposes and relocation of polluting production facilities away from downtown areas to improve effective land use and minimize environmental pollution.

- Priority is given to allocating enough available land areas to build synchronous infrastructure, focusing on developing key and highly-spread infrastructures; meeting land demands for urban, industrial and service development in the process of industrialization, modernization and new rural construction, especially in mountainous, border and island areas, to attract resources to effectively exploit available land reserves.

- Absorb and apply scientific and technological achievements of countries around the world and in the region; inherit existing achievements to improve quality, efficiency and feasibility, meeting the requirements for renovation of the socialist-oriented market economy management mechanism.

b) Objectives

National land use planning for the period of 2021 - 2030 with a vision towards 2050 is to actualize the national master planning in terms of land allocation and zoning for industries, sectors and localities; use land in a right, economical and effective manner; protect ecological environment, prevent and mitigate consequences of natural disasters, adapt to climate change and result in sustainable development in order to maximize land potentials and resources to meet requirements of industrialization, modernization, and restructuring the economy, ensuring national food security and goals of socio-economic development, national defense and security.
