Agricultural land allocation is a problem that exists in most provinces in Vietnam. Each household owns many disconnected parcels, which reduces agricultural development. The solution to the problem is to repartition this agricutural land among the households, while satisfying some criteria. Historically, this problem has been approached neither using optimization technology nor computer science. The present paper describes the formulation of the problem and proposes a constraint-based local search algorithm for solving it. Experimental results on real data in Dong Trung village show that the solution computed by our algorithm is better than traditional solutions.
