The land is a natural resource with rich diversity, and its value tends to increase over time. Therefore, compensation, when the State acquires land, is an issue of concern. Using data from 100 households surveying and ten interviews in Da Nang, the article aims to answer two research questions: (1) assessments of landless households on land compensation policy, and (2) outstanding issues in this policy in Vietnam. The results show that the local government has strictly followed the regulations and procedures of the State on land acquisition and compensation for economic development purposes under the 2013 Land Law. However, affected people feel dissatisfied with what they received when they lost land. The first is the significant difference between the compensation prices households received and the market price, priced by the real estate broker. Second, concerns about the future arise when the means of production of families have been acquired. In addition, the policy also lacks support measures for households located in affected areas. This shortcoming leads to dissatisfaction among families.
