Abstract

In Vietnam, where more than 70 percents of population live in rural area while agriculture and forestry attract nearly half of national workforce, the matter of land “ownership” is vital at different levels from household economy to macro national economy. Indeed, policies aiming at liberate land resources from central and collective management to household “ownership” have been the major component of nation-wide social and economic reform since 1986. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of forest land allocation policy at local level, through the field survey in Thuong Quang Commune, Thua Thien Hue province in Central Vietnam.
