Authors - Dang Trung Thanh, Nguyen Huynh Anh Tuyet Abstract - This study evaluates the implementation of the 2024 Land Law regarding land-use conversion in Thuan An Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The research aims to assess the changes introduced by the new legal framework and examine its practical impacts on land-use conversion procedures at the local level. The study employed a combination of document analysis and a questionnaire survey of 100 respondents, including local government officials and citizens. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative methods. The results indicate that the 2024 Land Law has improved the landuse conversion process by simplifying administrative procedures, reducing processing time, and increasing transparency. Survey findings show that most respondents considered the new regulations easy to understand, the processing time efficient, and the procedural costs reasonable. Overall public satisfaction increased from 65% under the 2013 Land Law to 85% under the 2024 Land Law. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including incomplete digital land databases, limited public understanding of some legal provisions, and issues related to the implementation of market-oriented land pricing. These findings provide practical evidence for improving land-use conversion management and support the effective implementation of the 2024 Land Law at the local level.
