Identification of residential land and proposed solutions for improving Vietnam’s land law

This study analyzes legal provisions on determining residential land when recognizing land use rights and issuing Land Use Rights Certificates to households and individuals, from legislation prior to 1993 through the Law on Land 2024. By comparing Article 141 of the Law on Land 2024 with Article 103 of the law and examining practical implementation, the study identifies several shortcomings concerning the redetermination of residential land areas and cadastral records across different historical periods. On this basis, the study proposes solutions to improve land legislation and better protect the lawful rights and interests of land users.
