Preface to workshop Hanoi
Zevenbergen, Jaap
Land is vital to all life. Our food comes from it, we live and sleep on it, our work places are set on it, we transport ourselves over it, we worship on it, we have festivals on it, we die on it and we are buried or cremated on it. Organized ways of access to land for people to undertake all these activities are needed, especially when more and more people need to rely on the same land. To undertake this land governance in an organized way, the government needs to have in place a well thought through land policy, and the administrative structures to regulate, monitor and protect the access and rights to land. For this a land administration system is needed. Such a system is especially important in fast developing societies like Vietnam, where the economy is growing fast and land use is changing at a high pace.
