Abstract: In this study, we evaluate the advantages, limitations, and causes of public land fund management in Yen Khanh district, and we propose solutions for improving public land fund management. At the People’s Committee of the district of Yen Khanh, secondary data are collected. Primary data are collected from 120 households renting public land and 44 cadres and civil servants. Evaluation criteria include the publicity of land use planning; the size and length of the land lease; the lease procedures; human resources, facilities, and the sense of law observance by the land tenants, etc. By 2021, public land has 495.40 ha, leased to 1958 households 422.67 ha, accounting for 82.62 % of the total area of land. There is a land lease term of 1 to 3 years, and the collected land rent is 2578,287 million VND. According to 84.09 % of the total number of officials, tenants abide by the land law well, while 15.91 % say that the people do not abide by the law. Officials believe that human resources meet the job requirements 64.9% of the time, but 34.9% don’t. Among the solutions proposed are completing the land lease; promoting land law dissemination; inspecting, examining, and sanctioning administrative violations; and strengthening human resources for land management.

Keywords: Land encroachment, land lease, public land fund, Yen Khanh.
