Developing GIS decision support to stakeholders on agricultural land use planning in HA Tinh Province, Vietnam

Land use planning in Vietnam has been conducted but still insufficient for many years. In rural areas, it has been predominantly relying on assessing the suitability of soil for agricultural production. Besides, the planning has extensively incorporated statistics. The current rapid economic growth of Vietnam during its economic transition has increased the pressure on land and water resources which leads to a necessity to adjust the approach to land use planning in order to support the economic growth of the country and provide a framework to manage the development in a sustainable manner. There is a need to have a closer alignment between socio-economic development plans, the overall environmental strategy and the land use plans. Therefore, the role of land use planning must be broaden through taking into account environmental, socio-economic parameters as well as involving different stakeholders who are affected by changes in land use. It is necessary to have a tool to support policy makers and planners in developing, appraising, and selecting planning scenarios which collaborate different social, economic, and environmental development dimensions in order to gain sustainable development goals. Information that have been collected including land use and management by applying Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to stakeholders activities in relationship with land use planning. Informatics and mathematical modeling techniques have been used in data processing, optimal solution determining and information providing for making decision support. The Decision Support System (DSS) providing tools for planners, policy makers and other stakeholders to improve policies on land use planning and implementation of other rural development and land resource management programs with adaptation to climate change.

Abstract:	Land use planning in Vietnam has been conducted but still insufficient for many years. In rural areas, it has been predominantly relying on assessing the suitability of soil for agricultural production. Besides, the planning has extensively incorporated statistics. The current rapid economic growth of Vietnam during its economic transition has increased the pressure on land and water resources which leads to a necessity to adjust the approach to land use planning in order to support the economic growth of the country and provide a framework to manage the development in a sustainable manner. There is a need to have a closer alignment between socio-economic development plans, the overall environmental strategy and the land use plans. Therefore, the role of land use planning must be broaden through taking into account environmental, socio-economic parameters as well as involving different stakeholders who are affected by changes in land use.
