Resolutely clearing land, creating momentum for breakthrough development

In recent years, compensation and site clearance work has been focused on, promoted and had many positive changes, creating momentum for socio-economic development.

Resolute from policy to action

Right from the beginning of the 2020-2025 term, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 25-NQ/TU, dated November 4, 2021 on improving the effectiveness and efficiency of compensation, site clearance and resettlement (SAR) work when the State acquires land in the province. Since then, compensation, site clearance and resettlement work has been directed by all levels and sectors, associated with the responsibility of the leaders.

In addition to many outstanding results, some projects still face difficulties due to capital constraints, slow implementation of resettlement areas, and lack of a clean site before land acquisition. In addition, the delay in granting land use right certificates to resettled people, especially due to inheritance disputes, unclear transfers, or planning changes, also affects progress.

Entering 2025, the final year of implementing the Resolution of the 11th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025, the work of compensation and site clearance is set with high determination, a clear roadmap and more effective and synchronous requirements. Right from the beginning of the year, the Department of Agriculture and Environment proactively advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue a detailed action plan, as a basis for the Provincial Compensation and Site Clearance Steering Committee to direct specific implementation to each locality and each project.

In Ben Luc district, many key projects are being implemented. Recently, compensation and site clearance work has achieved many important results. In 2024, the district paid compensation, site clearance and resettlement for 19 projects with 1,574 affected cases, with a total cost of more than 6,341 billion VND, a total area of ​​more than 468 hectares, reaching 173.3% of the plan assigned by the province (270 hectares) and reaching 126.5% of the district's target (370 hectares).

According to Chairman of Ben Luc District People's Committee - Le Thanh Ut, promoting the achieved results, in 2025, the district will continue to closely, synchronously and effectively coordinate with departments and branches to clearly identify priority projects, important projects that need to focus resources on implementation as well as projects that need to be resolved completely to create clean land funds, attract investment and serve development requirements.

"For projects that still face difficulties and obstacles in compensation and site clearance, the district has deployed and implemented many combined solutions to promptly resolve them. Recently, the People's Committees of communes and towns have established advocacy groups to focus on propagating and mobilizing people to understand and agree with the State's compensation, site clearance and resettlement policies. At the same time, the district has consolidated documents to implement other measures to ensure compliance with legal regulations," said Mr. Le Thanh Ut.

According to Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment - Vo Minh Thanh, in 2025, the province sets a goal of completing the BT and GPMB work with an area of ​​1,050 hectares and strives to reach 1,450 hectares to create an important land fund to serve the implementation of infrastructure, urban, industrial and transport development projects.

Remove obstacles, complete set goals

Based on the proposed plan, the province focuses on identifying key projects that need priority for site clearance such as Provincial Road 830E, Road 822B and projects under the breakthrough program of the Resolution of the district-level Party Congress. The province also carefully prepares compensation procedures for major projects such as Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 through Long An, bridges and access roads on Road 827E, resettlement areas on Road 827E, etc. to ensure timely and correct payment to the right subjects.

In addition, the province is speeding up the work of compensation and site clearance for industrial parks (IPs) and industrial clusters (ICs) such as Nam Tan Tap IP, Thu Thua IP, The Ky IP, Loc Giang IP, Phuoc Vinh Dong 1, 2, 3, 4 IPs and Tan Tap IP. For long-standing backlog projects such as Prodezi IP, Tandoland IP, Long Hau 3 IP, Long An Port, Hoa Binh IP, the province is focusing resources and policies to resolve them completely.

In resettlement work, the province prioritizes completing clean land funds to arrange resettlement for important projects such as DT830E route and developing urban areas along DT826D (section from Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 to Rach Dua). At the same time, the province implements many large-scale urban projects such as Hau Nghia - Duc Hoa new urban area (197.2ha); urban areas in Ward 4 and Ward 6, Tan An City (137ha); Ecological urban area, trade and tourism in Thanh Phu commune, Ben Luc district (220ha); Thanh Phu - Tan Buu residential area (143.79ha); Tan My and Phuoc Vinh Tay new urban areas. These are strategic projects in developing urban space, improving the quality of life and attracting investment.

To speed up the land recovery process, the province focuses on administrative reform, shortening the time for land valuation, completing procedures and ensuring consistency and unity throughout the province. At the same time, the province pays special attention to the work of granting land use right certificates to resettled people in projects such as Hai Son Long Thuong Residential Area (Can Giuoc District), Tan Duc Residential Area - Resettlement Area (Duc Hoa District), Residential Area opposite Long An General Hospital (Tan An City), Ben Luc Town Residential Area, Long An Steel Company Limited's project and Go Den Residential Area - Resettlement Area project.

According to Mr. Vo Minh Thanh, to achieve high efficiency, the Department of Agriculture and Environment should strengthen coordination at all levels and sectors in the work of propagating and disseminating the Party's guidelines, the State's policies and laws related to compensation, site clearance and resettlement. Thereby, creating consensus and support from the people to increase the effectiveness of the implementation process.

In addition, the province continues to improve mechanisms and policies on compensation, support and resettlement; strengthen inspection and supervision of implementation progress; regularly review and promptly propose solutions to arising problems; tighten state management of land, construction, investment reception and related fields.

With proactive and decisive leadership and implementation, and the consensus of the people, the compensation and site clearance work in 2025 is expected to be completed on schedule. This will create a solid foundation and premise for the province to successfully implement its socio-economic development goals./.

Since the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 25-NQ/TU on November 4, 2021, compensation has been paid for more than 3,718 hectares in the province (the Resolution target is 4,000 hectares). Of which, from the beginning of 2025 to now, the province has paid compensation for about 400 hectares.
