11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis

- A scientific basis has been established to complete the set of land use indicators in the provincial planning considering regional linkages and climate change context on the basis of: (i) The results of research, analysis theoretical and practical experiences on land use planning, land use indicators in planning in the world and in Vietnam; (ii) Results of analysis of factors affecting the development of a set of land use indicators when developing a land allocation and zoning plan in the provincial planning of the Red River Delta, including: natural conditions (topography, climate, hydro-geography, soil and biological resources) create ecological sub-regions; Socio-economic conditions (population, labor, economic sectors, infrastructure development) are development factors with demand for suitable land space for positioning; The regional linkage factors create the demand for concentrated distribution for the development of the fields of production and settlement; The effects of climate change pose the need for adaptive land use arrangements.

  - A set of land use indicators in the provincial planning of the Red River Delta has been developed, considering regional linkages and climate change determined by the Delphi method, including 40 indicators belonging to 3 criteria: Criteria natural, socio-economic, including 25 land use purposes indicators; regional linkage criteria include 10 functional areas indicators (of which 08 are identified by provincial goverment: Agricultural production zones, forestry zones, industrial development zones, urban areas, tourist areas, and nature conservation zones, nature and biodiversity, rural residential area and 02 indicators allocated by the national land use planning: Hi-tech zone, economic zone); Criteria for adaptation to climate change include 5 indicators of adaptation area (Area at risk of landslides, Area at risk of saline intrusion, Area at risk of being affected by sea level rise, Area at risk of sea level rise, areas at risk of being affected by floods, Areas at risk of drought). This set of indicators ensures scientificity, completeness and suitability with practical needs.

- The functional areas and climate change adaptation indicators have been developed to serve land use orientation in the planning of Nam Dinh province for the period of 2021-2030, considering regional linkages and climate change with specific area for each indicator.

- Main solutions have been proposed in land use planning considering regional linkages and climate change, including: (i) General solutions: Developing legal documents with guidance on regions linkage and integrating climate change adaptation in land use planning, Solutions to the formulation of land allocation and zoning plans in provincial planning.); (ii) Solutions for Nam Dinh Province: Solutions to integrate regional linkages and climate change in land use for the formulation of the planning of Nam Dinh province; Solutions to improve the quality (accuracy, feasibility) of the zoning and land allocation plan in the provincial planning; ensure good exploitation of land potential, efficient, economical, sustainable and adaptive land use to climate change

12. Practical applicability:

The research results will help strengthen the capacity of State management in the field of land, especially the formulation and adjustment of land use planning, contributing to improving the quality (accuracy, calculation feasibility) of the zoning and land allocation option in the provincial plan; ensure good exploitation of land potential, use land effectively, economically, sustainably and adapt to climate change, propose solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of land use planning for land management in the direction of integrating regional linkages and climate change. The thesis is also a scientific basis for the People's Committee of Nam Dinh province to refer to in order to develop a plan for zoning and land allocation in the provincial planning period 2021 - 2030.

13. Further research directions, if any:

The results of the thesis are carried out within the Red River Delta region, which has important implications for regional planning and provincial planning in the region. On a broader scale nationwide, because each region and province has different points in terms of natural, socio-economic conditions, natural resources and impacts of climate change, it is necessary to continue further study on the set of land use indicators in planning in many regions.
