Clean data - Bright trust [Part 4]: Determination to let the people benefit

In the context of inevitable digital transformation, Viet Nam is entering a new phase, aspiring to modernize land governance, a core field with wide-ranging socio-economic impacts. The “90-Day Campaign for Enriching and Cleaning Land Data” (September 1 - November 30, 2025) represents a strategic effort to standardize, purify, and vitalize the national land database under the principles of “accurate - complete - clean - live.”

Proactive and innovative implementation

Hai Phong is among the first localities nationwide to issue an official plan and establish a Steering Committee and Working group to implement the 90-Day Campaign for Enriching and Cleaning the Land Database.

Immediately after the campaign’s launch, the Department of Agriculture and Environment coordinated closely with commune and ward People’s Committees, special administrative areas and the Land Registration Office. Within a short time, local authorities across the city established their own steering groups and task forces, ensuring synchronized, unified implementation from the grassroots level to the city administration.

In addition, Hai Phong has adopted a systematic, modern approach to communication, guidance, and progress tracking. The city’s Department of Agriculture and Environment created Zalo groups connecting department leaders, land registration officials, technical staff, and commune-level authorities. These groups are used to report daily progress, share guidance, and promptly resolve issues under the supervision of the city People’s Committee. This creative, flexible model enables rapid information flow, real-time coordination, and efficient management across departments.

Thanks to this sense of urgency and coordinated effort, as of October 27, Hai Phong had completed most key campaign objectives, including: Revising and aligning land data after administrative unit reorganization; standardizing data according to the two-tier local government model; adding parcel identification codes; cross-verifying land data with citizen databases; successfully synchronizing 1,075,000 land parcels from the city’s land database into the National Land Database, achieving 100% completion.

Clean data - tangible benefits for citizens

Beyond technical achievements, Hai Phong’s land data cleansing campaign aims to serve citizens and businesses, creating a transparent foundation for modern land management and significantly shortening administrative processing times.

Accordingly, commune and ward People’s Committees have worked with the Land Registration Office to review, compile, and scan land-use certificates to update missing or outdated information about landowners and property titles (for residential and housing land). As of October 27, more than 440,000 land parcels had been supplemented, and over 264,000 parcels were fully updated into the city’s land database.

The introduction of parcel identification codes allows citizens to easily check, register, transfer, or verify their land-use rights on digital platforms such as VNeID, eliminating the need for multiple in-person visits.

Mr. Nguyen Tung Lam, Vice Chairman of Kien An Ward People’s Committee, said: “After completing the enrichment and cleansing of the land database, the data will be integrated into the VNeID application. This not only streamlines management for government agencies but, more importantly, allows citizens to handle land-related procedures conveniently, saving significant time and effort.”

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen The Phong, Head of the An Truong Commune Economic Department, shared: “Accurate land data make administrative procedures faster and more transparent, protecting citizens’ legal rights and increasing their confidence in transactions.”

Beyond completing data integration, Hai Phong is now working to restructure its administrative procedures and reduce required paperwork, aligning with the city’s goal of building a digital government and a service-oriented administration.

The city’s task force has proposed that the Hai Phong People’s Committee assign the Department of Agriculture and Environment to accelerate the comprehensive project on cadastral records and land database development in the eastern region, while soon conducting comprehensive surveys in the western region to supplement spatial data for land parcels updated in this campaign. At the same time, local authorities are reviewing over 170,000 parcels with missing or inaccurate scanned files to ensure synchronization with citizen data and integration into the National Land Database.

The land data enrichment and cleansing campaign in Hai Phong reflects the city’s determination, innovation, and effectiveness in advancing the digital transformation of the Agriculture and Environment sector. When land data are clean, transparent, and continuously updated, all land-related activities, from management and transactions to planning and investment, become faster, more convenient, and more accurate, delivering direct benefits to both citizens and businesses.
