Vietnam City not Happy with State's Land Information System

Le Manh Ha is the Director of the Ho Chi Minh (HCM) City Department of Post and Telecommunications. He's not happy with the software provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MoNRE) for land management and has recommended the City People’s Committee not use it. In particular, he notes, that HCM City Department of Natural Resources and the Environment used the app in seven districts and it doesn’t meet requirements and that the software was "developed based on out-dated technology and is not suitable to the actual procedures of districts in HCM City."

The software, called the Vietnam Land Information System, is the result of a state project to build a provincial land database management model conducted by the MoNRE. The app is built on ArcGIS to facilitate "registering, monitoring changes in land use; managing land planning, land prices, land taxes; procedure management, etc. at high accuracy."

The Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment mandated in 2007 that all provinces and cities use the app.

I have heard that a lot of people in Vietnam are using location technology for cell phone dating services. Can anybody confirm this?

No location speed date yet. But mobile for betting and biding are popular.

This isn't really a technology issue. The MONRE (government) app wasn't necessarily bad, but the design, and work-flow is different from Ho Chi Minh city. And either size are willing for adaptation. Government want to keep their de-factor apps as national standard, and HCM city don't want to replace their in-house system, which in fact working very well.

Again, this is where we need open standard rather than ready made government software. Not sure how other country dealing with land information system. It seem in the US, each state, or even county have their own solution, as long as it meet certain government standard.
