Adjustment of Dong Nai land use planning toward 2010 needs to attach to goal of socio-economic development

Posted Date: 31/08/2009
In the past time, the land use planning in Dong Nai province has met the demand of land use of sectors and localities. However, many new projects have arisen in the process of global and domestic economic integration, and this leads to high demand of land use. Additionally, the land still is being used wastefully. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the land use planning in current situation and in the future.

Agricultural land area tends to decline

 

 Change in land structure

According to Dong Nai’s land use plan in the 2006-2010 period, the agricultural land area will decline 32,893ha and plan to reduce 18,835ha in 2008. But in reality, the agricultural land area just declined 4,114ha (accounting for 12.51%) compared to the set target. In which, the land area for agricultural production reduced 3,650ha, the forest land area declined 572ha and the fishery land area increased 57ha. As such, only fishery land area was on the increase thank to the fact that the province expand the land area to serve aquaculture. As for non-agricultural land area toward 2008, it was expected to increase 19,318ha, but in fact it just raised 4,295ha (accounting for 12.58%).

In particular, housing land area and special-use land area increased 935ha and 2,692ha respectively, and the remaining land areas also increased. The unused land area in the whole province by January 1st, 2009 was 2,293ha, declining 56ha compared to the year 2005 (occupying 11.66%). Mostly low land use targets against the plan is due to more new projects approved by the Ministries, Departments and the Provincial People’s Committee, including: bio-tech rearch centre in Cam My (208ha), Xuan Loc-Thong Nhat Agricultural and Industrial Complex (1,632ha), and Nhon Trach administrative urban zone (601ha), etc. On the other hands, the economic crisis has led to the price hike in building materials so many projects was deployed slowly.

 Therefore, Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment advised the Provincial People’s Committee on adjusting Dong Nai land use planning toward 2010, and land use plan in the 2006-2010 period.

 

New projects require the planning adjustment task

 

        How to adjust the land use planning?

 According to Mr. Le Viet Hung – Director of Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Dong Nai province had land use planning in 1995 and completed its plan in 1996. After collecting the land use need of each department and sector, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment submitted the adjustment plan to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for approval. Besides, some inappropriate land use demands will be checked and considered.

Accordingly, as for transport projects, infrastructure construction will be supplemented and implemented in order to explore full advantage of location, developing transport services and improving the capacity of investment attraction. As for industrial zones and clusters, their scale will be basically kept unchanged and their infrastructure facilities will be focused on implementing so that all industrial zones will have concentrated waste water treatment systems til 2010. As for developing urban areas and rural residential areas, specific attention will be paid to land use demand in such districts as Long Thanh, Nhon Trach, Trang Bom and Vinh Cuu, gradually establishing new modern urban areas.

 As planned, the total area of natural land in Dong Nai province will be 590,340ha until 2010, in which agricultural land area is 440,145ha, a decline of 34,296ha compared to the year 2008, accounting for 25.26% of natural land area, up 35,490ha against 2008 and up 5,641ha compared to the set target. It is expected to use 1,194ha unused land for other purposes.

 As such, with the adjustment of Dong Nai land use planning toward 2010, the land use plan in the 2006-2010 period basically met the demand of land use, preventing wasteful land use. Mr Hung said that the Department of Natural Resources and Environment should closely cooperate with departments and localities in the province to organize, adjust or check land use planning from the district level to the commune level, ensuring the land management task.
