LAND USE TRANSFORMATION IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF VIETNAM

Abstract

Vietnam is a country of mountains and plateaus, where plains occupy only a quarter of the territory but play a crucial role in the life of the country: most of the population, main cities, industrial enterprises and agricultural lands where rice is grown are concentrated here. Tien Hai is a coastal district of the country involved in the agricultural sector. In addition, the development of Vietnam towards industrialization raises concerns about the quantitative and qualitative composition of agricultural lands. In the Ba Ria city of the Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, the building industry is being intensively developed. Because of the industry development, the types of permitted use of land plots and the composition of the land change dramatically due to their transformation. Thus, the monitoring of the transformation of the land in Vietnam plays a key role in the management of the country's land resources.
