Regarding planning work and implementation of construction planning, the Hung Yen Provincial People’s Committee issued regulations on decentralizing management and assigning tasks in the field of construction planning, architecture that did not comply with regulations; construction work, compiling a list of planning projects for capital allocation in planning work was not complete…
In addition, the urban development program in the province has some guidelines for implementation that are not complete and not suitable. The Provincial People’s Committee has recognized 16 areas in communes that meet the standard for Grade V Urban Areas according to the plan to implement the provincial urban development program of Hung Yen, phase until 2020; however, these 16 areas have not had approved urban planning.
Regarding the issuance of land use right certificates for households and individuals in urban areas and some urban, residential areas, the rate is low, in which the cause is that land users do not understand and implement their rights and obligations in declaring and registering the issuance of land use right certificates.
