Assessment of the Current Status of Land Use Right Certification and Ownership Certification of Assets Attached to Land in Hong Van Commune, Hanoi City

Abstract

This study was conducted in Hong Van Commune, Hanoi, to evaluate the current status of land use right certification and the issuance of ownership certificates for assets attached to land during the 2021–2025 period. The research employed both primary and secondary data collection and analytical methods. Following administrative consolidation, Hong Van Commune comprises seven sub-communal units (Hong Van, Ha Hoi, Lien Phuong, Van Tao, Duyen Thai, Ninh So, and Dong My), with a total natural land area of 2,439.35 hectares. During the study period, a total of 139 land use right certificates were issued for residential land, achieving 92.05% of the required target, while 10,690 certificates were granted for agricultural land, corresponding to 90.32% of the total demand. Additionally, 1,516 land-use change registration applications were processed and approved, reaching a completion rate of 97.18%. Despite these achievements, several limitations were identified. A number of applications remain unresolved, primarily due to complex land origins, incomplete documentation, or insufficient legal eligibility. Furthermore, cadastral records across different periods lack consistency, and delays in data updating have negatively affected the efficiency of administrative processing. Based on these findings, the study proposes five groups of solutions aimed at improving the effectiveness of land registration and certification processes in the coming years.
