This is an urgent task for Hanoi as well as the whole country to quickly solve the problem of creating jobs for farmers whose agricultural land has been recovered.

2.6. Law on resettlement for people whose land is recovered and must relocate


2.6.1. Principles of resettlement arrangement for people whose land is recovered

The issue of resettlement for people whose land has been recovered and who have to move their residence has been discussed by the Labor Code.

Decree 197/2004/NDCP was issued with clearer and more specific regulations to force state agencies to pay more attention to and better protect the rights of those who are arranged for resettlement; Specifically:

1. The agency (organization) assigned by the provincial People's Committee to be responsible for resettlement arrangement must notify each household whose land is recovered and must relocate of the proposed resettlement arrangement plan and publicly post this plan at the unit's headquarters, at the headquarters of the commune-level People's Committee where the land is recovered and where the resettlement is to take place within 20 days before the competent State agency approves the resettlement arrangement plan;

2. Prioritize on-site resettlement for people whose land is recovered in the resettlement project area, prioritize favorable locations for households that implement land acquisition early, households with favorable locations in the area, and policy households;

3. Create conditions for households entering the resettlement area to specifically view the resettlement area and publicly discuss the planned resettlement arrangement as prescribed in Clause 1 of this Article (Article 34);

Clause 3, Article 35 stipulates: “Before arranging residential land for households and individuals, resettlement areas must have synchronous infrastructure built to ensure adequate conditions for users that are better than or equal to their old place of residence”;

Articles 36 and 37 of Decree No. 197/2004/NDCP also specifically stipulate "Measures"

"People whose land is recovered must relocate"; in which, Section c, Clause 1, Article 37 stipulates that people whose land is recovered have the right to: "Refuse to enter the resettlement area if the resettlement area does not ensure the conditions as announced and publicly posted";


In Section 7, Directive No. 05/2006/CTTTg dated February 22, 2006, the Prime Minister directed: "Do a good job of resettlement work, reserve areas in favorable locations,

“Additional regulations on granting land use right certificates, land recovery, implementation of land use rights, procedures for compensation, support and resettlement when the State recovers land and settlement of land-related complaints” stipulates: “In case of resettlement arrangement, the organization performing compensation and site clearance tasks is responsible for handing over houses or residential land and certificates of land use rights and house ownership rights to the person arranged for resettlement before site clearance”;

In order to implement the above provisions of law, Hanoi City has specifically regulated the issues of resettlement in Chapter V, Decision No. 108/2009/QDUB; including the following basic contents:

a) When the State recovers land to implement an investment project and must arrange resettlement for people whose land is recovered, the project investor must prepare sufficient housing and land funds for resettlement before carrying out site clearance work;

b) In case of resettlement arrangement by land, the Investor must prepare a construction project.

c) In case of resettlement arrangement with apartments but the Investor does not have a resettlement housing fund, it is necessary to prepare a plan for usage needs, report to the Department of Natural Resources, Environment and Rural Development for inspection, and submit to the Hanoi People's Committee for arrangement from the city's resettlement housing fund;

d) Regarding the principles of resettlement arrangement, to suit the actual conditions of resettlement housing and land funds of Hanoi City, Clause 6, Article 45, Decision No. 108/2009/QDUB stipulates:

“Based on the existing land fund and resettlement housing fund (area, location structure of land plots; house type, quantity, area, apartment structure), the District People's Committee is responsible for approving the resettlement lottery regulations for the project, ensuring publicity, fairness, democracy and compliance with the law, and at the same time implementing the following preferential policies in resettlement arrangement:


Priority is given to on-site resettlement for people whose land is recovered in areas where land is within the scope of the resettlement project;

Priority location

"The earliest, the owner of the house or land has a favorable location at the place of recovery and the subject is a policy family". [14, p.1]


2.6.2. Practical application of resettlement regulations for people whose land is recovered and who have to relocate in Hanoi

Resettlement is a measure to stabilize and restore the lives of households affected when the State reclaims land and they have to relocate. Current legal regulations aim to best ensure the rights to new housing for resettled people; Hanoi People's Committee has issued regulations and measures to implement

specific; however, the process of implementing resettlement for people whose land has been recovered is still

Issues that need to be researched:

First : Land law stipulates that when the State reclaims land ,

People whose land is recovered will be compensated at a land price close to the transfer price of the right.

Land use on the market under normal conditions; when the State allocates land or sells resettlement houses, they also have to pay money or buy houses at the prescribed price and this price

is also the price close to the price of land use rights transfer on the market under the conditions

normal conditions. Thus, the rights of people whose land is recovered by the State are still guaranteed; if there is land damage, it is only the large area of ​​recovered land while the area allocated for resettlement may be less than the recovered area due to the actual land fund conditions of each locality;

However, in reality, it is not like that. As analyzed above, Hanoi in particular and provinces and cities across the country in general, the land price announced by the Provincial People's Committee according to the regulations of the Land Law is still much lower than the current price.

Actual land use rights transfer price

on the market

school under normal conditions

usually. Thus, if a household has more area recovered, the level of damage to economic rights of that household will be greater. Besides, the selling price of resettlement apartments

prescribed by Hanoi People's Committee in Decision No. 80/2005/QDUB dated June 3, 2005

(This decision is no longer in effect) has the highest price of 6,486,000 VND/m2 and the lowest is 3,420,000 VND/m2; which is also much lower than the buying and selling price on the market (because at the time Decision No. 80/2005/QDUB was in effect, the average buying and selling price of apartments on the market in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh area, Cau Giay district was from 1,315 million VND/m2). Thus, if a household is allocated land or buys more apartments, there will be a big difference in economic benefits. Therefore, Hanoi City must have regulations on standards, norms, and principles for considering the sale of resettlement houses as mentioned above. However, in practice, there are also many difficulties and complications, such as households with many land recovered but few people are only allowed to buy one apartment, while some households have few land recovered but


There are many people who can buy 2 apartments, leading to inequality between 2 households in terms of economic damage when the State reclaims land; or in the case of one household but has

…The Problems

The above has raised many questions.

complaints of people whose land is recovered and who are arranged for resettlement; at the same time, it also leads to the principles of fairness and the principle that the new place of residence must be better than or equal to the old place of residence, which the law has stipulated, are not yet guaranteed;

The problem of poor quality of houses and land in resettlement areas

in Hanoi recently has caused many frustrations and complaints from households being arranged to resettle in resettlement areas. For example, resettlement area X8 in Co Bi commune, Gia Lam district for households in Thanh Tri Bridge project, after the households have been living there for more than 1 year, there is still no electricity or clean water supply to the resettlement area; the quality of apartments in resettlement areas is not guaranteed such as: 7.2ha Vinh Phoc area, Ba Dinh district; Trung Hoa, Cau Giay district; Den Lu, Hoang Mai district... After people have moved in, they have had to request the investor and construction unit to repair and maintain. The cause of this situation is partly due to the implementation mechanism; there is no supervision of the quality of resettlement houses by the people themselves, or by the district-level People's Committee, the agency responsible for implementing the decision to reclaim land and move people whose land is reclaimed to the resettlement area;

Rank

three:

Implementation of the regulation "establishing and implementing projects"

"TDC project";

Preparing enough housing and land for resettlement before implementing land acquisition in Hanoi in the past time has not met the requirements. Many projects in the city have had to delay implementation due to lack of housing and land for resettlement, such as: the road section from Kim Dong to Tan Mai has not been implemented because there are currently 600 apartments for resettlement; the road section from O Dong Mac to Nguyen Khoi dike had to postpone the start of construction from 2006 to 2007 because the resettlement houses of the project in Nam Trung Yen area are expected to be completed by August 2007, etc.;

Or like the Ring Road I (Kim Lien O Cho Dua section) which was once called "the most expensive road on the planet". When the project was established, the road was expected to have an additional 100m of land reclaimed on both sides to make a street on both sides of the road. This task was assigned to the budget capital project management board under the Department of Natural Resources, Environment and Rural Development as the investor. According to the survey, to build the road, it is necessary to arrange resettlement for about 1,000 households and to build a street on both sides of the road, it is necessary to arrange resettlement for about 1,200 more households. By the time of the groundbreaking (October 2005), the resettlement housing fund of the project in the Nam Trung Yen area could only meet about 1,000 apartments; to meet the demand for the entire street on both sides of the road, it would take until 2007 to have enough resettlement housing to implement. Faced with the problem of traffic congestion, the road opening is urgent, so Hanoi City has decided to start construction of the road, temporarily suspending the construction of Street 2.


on the side of the road, causing high BT costs. Households are allowed to live on the street, but the State does not collect the difference in value from the land created without investment from the land users, creating unfairness between households whose land is recovered and households whose land is not recovered, automatically becoming people with houses on the street;

Through this, it can be seen that the provisions of the law on resettlement and the implementation of resettlement arrangements for people whose land is recovered and who have to relocate their residence not only aim to properly resolve the rights of people whose land is recovered but also directly affect the progress of investment projects, affecting the implementation of socio-economic development plans of each locality as well as of the State;

Complete system

general land law and land law

compensation

In general, GPMB in particular must ensure consistency and synchronization in the content of the regulations; specifically:


Firstly , it is necessary to amend and supplement the regulation that land compensation price is determined at the time of compensation to replace the current regulation that land compensation price is determined at the time the competent state agency issues a decision to reclaim land ; determining the time of compensation is the time of the decision to reclaim land.

State agencies approve when there is a decision to reclaim land. However, from the time there is

decision to reclaim land until the agency

continue to

People receive compensation sometimes for 3 years or 5 years. When that happens, the land price at the time of receiving compensation is very different from the land price at the time of the land recovery decision. Therefore, people whose land is recovered always suffer losses. During those years, the land price and the land compensation policy have changed, the currency has lost its value, and people's opportunities to invest in business or have a house have also been lost.

Second , the reclamation of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes (especially for the construction of urban areas and commercial housing) ; people whose land is reclamation are only compensated at the price of agricultural land (usually this land price is very low, only a few tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand VND/m2). After that, this land area is assigned to housing construction companies. They proceed to level the ground and build houses for sale. Each square meter of land at this time is worth up to several million or tens of millions of VND. People whose land is reclamation compare the difference between the price of the land they are compensated for and the price of the land that investors sell to home buyers: The price of the land is compensated too low while the price of the land after converting the purpose of agricultural land use is too high. Farmers think that it seems like their land is being “robbed” and they do not benefit from the reclamation of the land, so disputes and lawsuits arise for a long time. To overcome these

This inadequacy, in our opinion, should amend the regulations on

basket time

compensation

Usually for land users when the State reclaims land according to the following solution:


1. The calculation of the basket should be regulated in practice;

compensation according to the time of payment

compensation


2. In the case of agricultural land recovery from farmers, in addition to compensation according to the agricultural land price at the time of recovery, it is necessary to stipulate a support rate to reward and encourage those whose land is recovered to strictly and promptly hand over the land to investors. This support amount is deducted from the difference between the compensation price and the land price after changing the purpose of agricultural land use . For example :

People whose agricultural land is recovered are compensated according to agricultural land prices.
