Land resource management in industrial zones in Hanoi, Vietnam

Abstract. Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, is one of the two major economic centers in the country. It has played a crucial role in the country’s economy, especially with the operation and development of industrial zones. As of 2022, there are eight industrial zones in Hanoi, covering a total area of over 1,427 hectares. These industrial zones have contributed significantly to the economic and social development of the capital city, attracting both domestic and foreign investment and creating numerous job opportunities. However, during the construction and development of these industrial zones, there have been many shortcomings, including ineffective use of land resources, wasting resources, misuse of land for the wrong purposes, violating space and environmental requirements, and negatively impacting the image and appearance of the capital city. One of the reasons for these issues is the ineffective land resource management in industrial zones. Therefore, there is a need for more effective and coherent solutions to managing this industrial zone. Through field investigations and surveys in Hanoi industrial zones, with the expert method, and research of published documents, the author has proposed some solutions for managing land resources in industrial zones in Hanoi, to save land resources, ensure efficient use, and promote sustainable development for industrial zones in Hanoi.
