All creatures, including human should equally exist. The creatures have interactive feeling to each other, no less and no more, according to the laws of the Creator.
Base on that concept, Land can be understood as a species, in other words, land is a unique resource, because every other species, including human achieve shelter and safety life from land. Therefore, such relating concepts of land, as land territory, land border, land demarcation, land function, land type, soil structure, components in soil, etc., the factors forming the subject of land become determinant of every creatures’ existence both on the land surface and underground. However, the human’s philosophy of conduct, operational rules and approach to land do not seem to identify sufficiently the function and the supreme power of this entity. This entity is not received reasonably, soundly in several regions, countries generally, and particularly in Vietnam. This is illustrated in the phylosophy of land use planning and strategy of control behavoirs relating to land use planning and development. This should become an equal arguable topic within and between all nations.
Land does not simply include such tangible value as capital, sanctuary for plants, animals, microorganisms and other creatures, which together with human correlately exist on earth, land is also an indispensable partner of the solar system, and certainly many other systems in nature. Land is also a subject of several studies, witnessing, as well as the concept and understanding of the harmonious development, which is felt and made sense by Ecological Farmer Field Schools of the Social Policy Ecology Research Institute – SPERI. Land is also nurturing sources for cultural identity of each ethnicity. Besides, land is a subject and determined factor for ownership of spiritual values of every ethnic groups.
Land is also a prerequisite to form and determine natural adaptability as well as historical nature of human over time. Land decides dialectic interaction between the human and the nature. Systematic nature of the eco-system has driven the human to be born in that system, and the human in turn maintain obvious characteristics of systematic nature in social relations. The ancients reassigned a saying that sacred land foster talent. Land is a component of the nature, along with the creation of terrain, river, mountains and forests, etc. to set up spectacular scenery, of which land essentially promote inpoetic sentiment of the people, nationality and nation for creating poetry, stories and tales, which are handed down for generations.
Yet, recently human’s technology has reached a high level, the earth become unsastified to be parallel with the technology, the earth even shows persuasive evidence for devorcing the human and those species, who have been inherently co-existing with the earth in harmonious way for a long time.
Why does the earth reveal such negative signs whenever technology reach to such a high top? Is that true that, human’s marching efforts have not based on full understanding of the earth needs? Do technocrats plainly perceive that land simply serve human’s needs, then they try to turn the earth into docile factor, then human may persistantly use technology to squeeze out water from soil, or human would create rain instead of the natural system?
It is time all creatures, especially human beings need to pay sufficient time, mind and alertness to listen carefully to the tired sigh of the earth. Mark that not any nation in the world that does not have any law of land with very seeming concrete convincing provisions for management, planning and control of sustainable values of each specific types of land; however, in reality, those land laws are actually empty a harmonious development perspective and respect for the land, as for a powerful soul, where acquire the distribution of life for all creatures; where all are born from, and will go back there for eternity.
It is hopeful for a revolution of ideology, institution and behaviour, towards strategy of justified and intelligent organization and management of land use planning throughout the world, for the phylosophy of nurturing safty value systems for all species, contributing to respect the belief of natural systems of thousands of indigenous groups who suffer from deprivation of ownership of spiritual values and erosion of cultural values, being disabled in equal rights between different groups in society; so that to recover the concept of the genuine values of land, which is considered as a fundamental issue for the survival on this planet for today and forever.
By the time people have to answer the question: what is the ultimate goal of mankind behaviour towards land? How do the human recognize their own sins from which to find human substance for nurturing the earth, so that to promote strategy of equal, sound land and resource use, management and in the context of globalization, in which money and its value is raging anesthetic force?
