The disparity between actual land use and the land use plan in Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province: a consideration of the post - assessment of land use plans
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. Ky Anh district is a coastal district located in the southern area of Ha Tinh province. During the 2000s, this area experienced significant changes under the national slogan, “industrialization and modernization.” In this area, there were few large scale regional development projects before the first half of the 2000s. However, during the latter half of the 2000s, a national large scale project, the “Vung Ang Economic Zone” and other regional development projects were established.
The main objective of this report is to clarify the disparity between actual land use and the land use plan in this area. Finally, we indicated our empirical conclusion concerning the disparity between actual land use and the land use plan by classifying land use. Understanding these situations will contribute to establishing scientific database of regional potentiality for sustainable development.
The result showed that there is a difference between agricultural/forestry and industrial land. Analysis results showed that: 23,344.7 ha of unused land in Ky Anh District were to be transformed into forest land; Agricultural land has been expanded from 12,886.12 ha (2001) to 22,127.94 (2010). Meanwhile, rice fields for cultivating paddy rice, a typical Vietnamese crop, decreased from 8,725.31 ha (2001) to 6,978.57 ha (2010), industrial land has been increased from 246.02 ha (2001) to 3,286.92 ha (2010). It was concluded from this result that agricultural and forestry land use planning are more difficult than industry, which implies that we must develop methods to increase the precision of agricultural and forestry land use planning.
