Play an active role
On March 15, 2025, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 112/QD-TTg on organizing land inventory and mapping the current land use status nationwide to accelerate the inventory progress implemented in 2024. On that basis, the People's Committees of the two provinces of Bac Giang and Bac Ninh (old) have developed a specific plan, clearly assigning responsibilities and implementation time to each department, branch and locality. After the merger of the provinces and the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units, the inventory work continues to be deployed more urgently to ensure progress and accuracy in land management according to the new administrative boundaries.

In order to improve the capacity of the implementation team, the Department of Agriculture and Environment recently organized intensive training for more than 200 leaders, cadastral officers of communes, wards and officers of land registration offices across the province. The training content focused on instructions on how to use the 2024 land inventory software, standardize cadastral maps, skills to review the current status in the field, handle boundary overlaps, determine the correct land type and update to the national software system.
Mr. Hoang Duc Dung, a civil servant of the Economic , Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department of Phuong Son Ward, shared: “This year's inventory is carried out according to the two-level local government model, meaning that data from communes and wards is pushed directly to the province, not through the district level as before. This increases the workload at the grassroots level, requiring cadres to work firmly and carefully. Thanks to the training session, I have resolved many obstacles in the implementation process, ensuring the set progress”. Currently, Phuong Son Ward has completed the land inventory and created a map of the current land use status.
In Vo Cuong ward - a new administrative unit established on the basis of arranging the entire natural area and population size of the three wards of Vo Cuong, Dai Phuc and Phong Khe (belonging to the old Bac Ninh city), the land inventory work was carried out systematically, effectively utilizing the inventory results from the old administrative units. Mr. Do Van Khoa, an official of the ward's Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department, said: "From the very first days of switching to the two-level government model, the ward People's Committee focused on directing the review, synthesis and completion of the land inventory results in the ward according to the boundaries after the arrangement. This was done based on data approved by the competent authorities of the three previous wards. Up to now, the ward has basically completed the land inventory according to the new boundaries".
In the Tay Yen Tu highland commune, where a large area of forestry land has been contracted since previous years, the inventory process encountered many difficulties due to the lack of original records and incomplete land use records. However, the commune has established a specialized working group, assigned specific tasks to each member, worked on holidays, combined field measurements and direct dialogue with people to verify each plot of land. With the coordination of the Forest Protection Department and the provincial working group, the commune has basically completed the inventory of the area. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, said: "The commune closely follows the direction and guidance of the province, and at the same time strengthens propaganda so that people understand the importance of the inventory work, thereby actively coordinating, providing information and records."
Focus on speeding up progress
With the close direction of the Provincial People's Committee and the drastic participation of localities, by the end of July 2025, the whole province had basically completed the field inventory at the commune level. One of the important foundations helping Bac Ninh accelerate is the relatively complete basic cadastral map system. Many localities have proactively completed the inventory according to the three-level government model before the merger, creating great convenience for data synthesis and synchronization later.
| In Bac Ninh province (old), 100% of commune-level administrative units have been surveyed with a total area of 82,271.1 hectares. Meanwhile, in Bac Giang province, 189/192 communes have completed surveying, reaching 96.7% of the total area; the remaining three communes in Luc Ngan district (old) are continuing to be added. |
According to regulations, after communes and wards complete land inventory and create land use status maps, specialized staff will standardize, edit and upload data to the national inventory system. On that basis, the province will synthesize land inventory data in 2024, create provincial land use status maps, and send reports to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment via the electronic system. However, according to feedback from the grassroots, the issuance of accounts to access the national software is still slow, affecting the progress of the next steps, especially the compilation and editing work at the provincial level. For example, in Tan Tien ward and Hiep Hoa commune, localities have completed all land inventory work and are now only waiting to be granted accounts to upload data to the system. According to specialized staff, if accounts are granted early, the remaining steps will be handled more smoothly.
Mr. Phi Thanh Binh, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, said: “The current inventory work is closely linked between the commune and provincial levels. If just one unit fails to complete it, it will affect the overall results of the whole province. Therefore, in the past time, localities have mobilized maximum forces, working overtime to ensure progress. On the Department's side, we have sent a document to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requesting early provision of software access accounts so that the work can be carried out on schedule”. At the same time, the Department has assigned the Bac Ninh Land Registration Office No. 1 and No. 2 to coordinate with the branches at the grassroots level, increase support in terms of human resources and technology in map editing and data uploading to the system. It is expected that the whole province will complete the entire land inventory work in 2025 before August 15 according to the plan committed to the Provincial People's Committee.
