Improving the law on the application of digital technologies to land information governance and land compensation

This study analyzes the role of digital technologies and land data governance in compensation when the State recovers land in Vietnam. Using qualitative legal analysis, document synthesis, comparison, and legal commentary, the study finds that land data remain fragmented, inconsistently updated, and insufficiently integrated, particularly regarding land prices. These limitations reduce transparency, delay site clearance, and increase disputes. Geographic information systems, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and mass land valuation can support data standardization, traceability, valuation accuracy, and reduced dependence on manual processing. The study recommends improving the legal framework for electronic evidence, data updating responsibilities, personal data protection, algorithmic risk control, information access, and institutional coordination. These measures would support the safe, transparent, and effective use of digital technologies in land compensation.
