Abstract
This resolution is a landmark legal act aimed at resolving land disputes and tenure insecurity for citizens residing within state forest boundaries. It officially approves the government's proposal to register and issue land use documents for residential land and permanent agricultural land (such as rice paddies and orchards) that are currently located inside the three categories of state forest: Protection, Conservation, and Production forests.
To be eligible for this recognition, the land must meet strict criteria: it must have complete and accurate data according to the Land Law, and the occupants must demonstrate long-term, stable use. The resolution tasks the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry with the technical work of re-delimiting these areas to ensure a clear distinction between communal living spaces and protected forest zones. This policy is intended to provide legal certainty to rural populations, allowing them to maintain their livelihoods permanently while preventing further unauthorized expansion into the nation's forest resources.
