Approximately 82.1 million land plots, accounting for about 77.5% of the national total, still require continued data enrichment, cleaning, completion, cross-checking, supplementation, and the building of a national land database. The scale of work ahead is therefore substantial.
Current statistics indicate the country has a total of 106 million land plots. Of these, ministries, agencies, and localities have completed reviews, refinements, and updates to meet the criteria “true – complete – clean – live” for 23.5 million plots (Group 1). Another 38.9 million plots already have data but do not meet the requirements and need further enrichment, cleaning, completion, cross-checking, and supplementation (Group 2). The remaining 43.2 million plots have not yet had a database built (Group 3).
Based on this status, the plots still needing enrichment, cleaning, completion, cross-checking, information supplementation, and database construction total about 82.1 million plots, equivalent to 77.5% of the country’s total.
To accelerate implementation, key tasks have been set out in Notification No. 239/TB-VPCP and the conclusions of Deputy Prime Minister Hoàng Quốc Dũng regarding the implementation of Directive No. 05/CT-TTg on cadastral surveying, land registration, cadastral records, and the construction of the National Land Database.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development is tasked with directing, inspecting, urging, and taking responsibility for the progress, quality, and outputs of tasks assigned under Directive No. 05/CT-TTg. The Ministry is also the lead coordinating agency for monitoring and synthesizing the Directive’s nationwide implementation status.
The Ministry is required to review all 19 tasks under Directive No. 05/CT-TTg and develop a progress schedule to monitor implementation by task, ministry, and locality. The basic milestones identified are as follows:
The Ministry is also tasked with leading, in coordination with localities and relevant ministries, the updating of the progress table and reporting to the Prime Minister every two weeks during the peak period from May 15 to the end of June 2026; thereafter, reporting should be monthly or as required. The Ministry will lead and coordinate preparation for a National Conference to summarize implementation of Directive No. 05/CT-TTg and push to complete the National Land Database in 2026, expected to be held in June 2026 in a hybrid in-person/online format.
The government also calls for adjusting duties related to summarizing, reporting, and proposing budget support for localities. This is intended to allow the Ministry to quantify the volume and funding needs from the central budget for localities to implement cadastral surveying, cadastral filing, and building the land database. The consolidated needs will be sent to the Ministry of Finance for review of central budget balances and submission to the Prime Minister in accordance with applicable state budget laws.
Provincial People’s Committees are urged to concentrate resources to continue enriching, cleaning, completing, cross-checking, and supplementing information for plots already in the database but not meeting the criteria. They are also required to conduct cadastral surveying and mapping for localities that lack data.
The Deputy Prime Minister requests a rapid review of the entire workload and the development of detailed implementation schedules by geography, data group, and implementing unit. Authorities are asked to clearly identify completed and remaining work, “white data” areas, and areas not yet surveyed or registered, and not yet cadastralized. During implementation, disputes, complaints, or legal issues related to land within jurisdiction must be resolved. Data that meets conditions should be immediately managed, operated, and used to resolve administrative procedures for citizens and businesses.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
