Impact of land users on the issuance of land use right certificates: A case study in Thanh Hoa City, Vietnam

AbstractThe goal of the study is to determine how land users affect the land certification process when compared with other factors. We investigated government officials who carry out land certification procedures through a two-step survey to identify hypothetical factors that influence land certification. A multivariable regression model of hypothetical factors affecting land certification was tested by evaluation criteria. There are 26 factors belonging to 7 groups affecting land use right certificate issuance. Their impact rates ranged from 3.43% to 25.95%. Land users impact the issuance of land certificates with an impact rate of 20.82%. This puts them in the second most influential group after the group of policy and legal factors. For the land certificate to be granted smoothly and on schedule, it is necessary to pay attention to solving issues related to land users, legal policies, and other factors that have a smaller impact rate.Keywords: Factors affectingImpact ratesLand certificationLand usersThanh Hoa City Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNguyen Dinh TrungNguyen Dinh Trung obtained his Ph.D. in Land Management at Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA) in 2023.
