Abstract

The study aims to identify the influencing factors and their impact level on the public agricultural land management. The results show that the policy group is the most influential with an impact level of 38.06 %, followed by the financial group with an impact level of 36.17 %, the management factor with an impact level of 25.77 %. In order to improve the efficiency of the management of public agricultural land fund, it is necessary to amend and supplement a number of policies and laws, such as setting the maximum lease time of public agricultural land fund to be equal to the duration of district-level land use planning; strengthening the propagation and dissemination of land law; rational use of fragmented and scattered land parcels; settling encroached or occupied land plots through conversion of land use purposes into residential or public purposes of the commune.

۱٫ Introduction

In Vietnam, the public agricultural land fund is the land area not exceeding 5% of the total land area for annual crops, land for perennial crops and aquaculture land of a commune. In addition to supplementing the public agricultural land fund, there are other sources such as agricultural land returned by organizations, households and individuals or donated with the right to use to the State, reclaimed land, recovered agricultural land. It is the source to form or supplement the agricultural land fund used for public purposes of the commune. The fund of public agricultural land managed and used by the commune is to meet the needs of constructing cultural, physical training and sport facilities, health care, public entertainment, cemeteries and other works of the commune and for rent when not in use to collect land rental for public purposes of the commune. According to Vietnam’s land law, land is owned by the people and is uniformly managed by the State. People do not have the right to own land, can only use the land and transfer the land use right when needed. Land management in general, and management of public agricultural land fund in particular is the State’s purposeful impact on land in order to use land efficiently and sustainably in association with environmental protection (Pham Phuong Nam and Nguyen Van Quan, 2014). The National Assembly manages land through the promulgation of land legislation, decisions on land use planning and plans throughout the country, and exercises the supreme supervision over land management and use. The Government uniformly manages land, including land funds nationwide. The commune-level People’s Committee directly manages and leases public agricultural land fund for a period not exceeding 5 years. So far there have been a number of studies on different aspects of land management in general and public agricultural land in particular. The study of Le Thi Thanh Xuan et al. (2015) has pointed out some limitations in the management of public agricultural land such as leasing land to wrong subjects, illegally transferring public land, using land for improper purposes, encroaching and occupying public agricultural land; Public land management records are not regularly updated. According to Nguyen Huu Ngu et al. (2017), public agricultural land fund is still scattered, small plot land area; rental of public land without contracts should affect the efficiency of managing public agricultural land, causing rent losses.
