The Theory And Practice Research On Regional Linkage Of The Rural Residential Land Consolidation

With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization as well as the pressure of population and the food security, the paradox between population and land has become more and more serious. The resources of available land are scarce while the phenomenon that the rural construction land is used inefficiently. The establishment of scientific outlook on development makes people realize the resource and environment restriction of economic and social development in China. Moreover, China has unfolded large-scale construction of a new socialism rural area in recent years."The rural residential land consolidation "was becoming the hot spot of the academic community gradually. The rural residential land consolidation has become one of the effective means of optimizing rural land use structure and keeping the dynamic balance of cultivated land. At the same time, it is also an inevitable choice for developing modern rural community to perfect rural areas infrastructure, change rural area appearance efficiently&improve peasants’living and production condition.However, the process of rural residential land consolidation is not easy. The developed areas have a high pulation density but a low index of the per-capita rural residential land areas. It tells that the available land is decreasing. On the other hand, the developing areas have a low population density but a high index of the per-capita rural residential land areas. It also shows that there is still much land recourse existing in these areas. The interregional imbalance of rural residential land-use brings great difficulties to the consolidation process. But, at the same time, it also brings the new thinking direction.Realizing regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation provides us with a new point of view. The study will introduce the theory of regional linkage to the rural residential land consolidation. Based on regional linkage and urban&rural linkage, the author studies the implementation approach of the regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation. Including the land index flow and compensation, the government administration and the peasants’ wishes and thoughts. Meanwhile, The theory and empirical studies have been completed, with the example of Jiangsu province. Finally, the author put forwards some suggestions for promoting efficiency on the rural residential land consolidation.This paper consists of seven chapters and can be divided into four parts. They are successively the study on the theoretical basis, the thinking of realizing regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation, the empirical studies on both the land index flow and the peasants’ wishes and thoughts, and concusionsand suggestions. Major contents of every part show as follows:The first part is composed of two chapters. The first chapters is an introduction, the second chapters one is on the summary of the domestic and foreign research and the other hand is the theoretical basis. By reviewing and commenting the related research, the background, the purpose, the significance, the thoughts and systems of the research have been elaborated systematically, and all the involved informations of this paper have been introducted as well.The second part which is the main part of the thesis is also composed of two chapters, including, chapter3and chapter4. With reference to the current policy in Chapter3, the author analyze the relationship and conflicts among urban and rural land, cultivated land and the rural residential land. Then the author puts forward a new way for coordination of conflicts between regional land-types and land-use by realizinging regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation. Chapter4is the core of this paper. The author analyses the connotation, objectives, significance, principles and the implementation approach of the regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation. Including the land index flow and compensation, the governmental management of the compensation money and the peasants’ wishes and thoughts.The third part is composed of two chapters, i.e., chapter5and chapter6. This part includes the practical research on both the peasants’wishes and thoughts and the land index flow and compensation. The peasants were chosen mainly study object in chapter5. An anonymous questio nnaire was designed to study the peasants’ wishes and thoughts on the rural residential areas consolidation, including the influence of the policy’s, economic, social, environmental and lifestyle on the peasants’ wishes and thoughts. Analysis and Comparison have been completed in both different regions and the whole Jiangsu province. Dominating Factors of Restricting and driving the peasants’ wishes and thoughts on the rural residential areas consolidation have been summarized. The practical research take example of Jiangsu province in chapter6. Firstly, the feasibility of realizing regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation has been demonstrated. Next the calculation of land index flow has been researched, with the example of Guannan Xian, Jiangsu province. Finally, the calculation of the land index compensation has been also researched, with the example of Guannan Xian, Haian Xian, Suzhou Shi, Jiangsu province.The fourth part is chapter7. The contents of chapter7include major conclusions and policy recommendations.Through above studies, conclusions come out as follows:(1) The regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation should be come ture as soon as possible. The analysis and research on the current situation of the rural residential land consolidation show that much questions, such as the phenomenon of "hollow village" in developed region, capital bottleneck, performance is the contrary of endowment on land, incompatibility of the potential with efficiency on land-use. Exist simultaneously, the contradictions among population growth, economic growth and declining are becoming increasingly acute. The index from dynamic balance on cultivated land in different regions is becoming scarce. The index from the rural residential areas consolidation may be the main source of replenishing the cultivated land area. So the reserch of the rural residential land consolidation should be not only consider itself but also consider systematically the relationship among urban and rural land, cultivated land and the rural residential land. We should break down the barrier of the political boundaries and government functions to solve the conflict. The goal for this thinking is that the limited land resources could be optimize and dispose in different area.So, the regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation should be come ture as soon as possible.(2)Combining the land resources and capital is the thinking of the regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation. The author’s thought is that cultivated land areas in undeveloped region exchange with capital in developed area. The exchange value would be calculate based on construction land or market value. The aim at that the value of cultivated land could be full show and solved the capital problem in undeveloped region. Capital bottleneck should be solved by constructing regional financing concatenation system so that the process of the rural residential land consolidation could be push forward. Much more significance lies in solving the problem of shortage of land resource in developed region, general planning of land use in diffierent regions, promoting regional cooperation and development.(3) The core of realizing regional linkage of the rural residential land consolidation is the land index flow and compensation. The thoughts of the flow are successively the the control target of the per regional rural residential land, the land area could be transfer and distribution of the land area. The thoughts of the compensation are the compensation value greater than net profit. Through the empirical research of this paper, some conclusions could be summarized as follows. The reclamation costs per mu cultivated land in undeveloped region is much lower than in developed region. On the other hand, the expected net income in developed region is much higher than in undeveloped region. The greater difference of costs, potential and income between in undeveloped region and in developed region gives the feasibility to construct this linkage mechanism. We must introduce market system and realize regional cooperation so that we can solve the contradiction between construction land requirements and cultivated land protection effectively in developed region.(4) The economic compensation is not only factor which effected the peasants’wishes and thoughts. We have finished the investigation and research of the peasants’wishes and thoughts on the rural residential areas consolidation in Jiangsu province. Then we confirmed restricting factor and driving factor. It shows that the peasants have strong wishes but these wishes are influenced by a series of factors. The result shows that the sequence of effect factors is social security, old tradition, compensation fund, neighborhood with one another and so on. Taking into acdount all of these factors,we may reach the conclusion that the economic compensation is not only factor which effected the peasants’ wishes and thoughts. Much more social factors, such as the social security, old tradition, neighborhood, also effected the peasants’wishes and thoughts.(5) The effect factors of the peasants’wishes and thoughts have great difference in the interregional and intraregional. The result shows that the peasants attach great importance to the social security in central and southern Jiangsu province. Nevertheless, the peasants attach great importance to improve the living condition in northern Jiangsu province. The results shows the the peasants attach great importance to the increase of the life quality in developed region. After comparing the peasants’wishes of interregional and intraregional. we draw another conclusion that the significance of effect factors of the peasants’wishes are different from interregional and intraregional. So we should work out measures to suit local conditions according to the difference. Based on the above conclusions,some suggestions are put forward as follow:At first, The intraregional index flow compensation mechanism should be firstly perfected in order to propel the rural residential areas consolidation. Secondly, the government should work out measures to suit local conditions so as to could be instruct the the progress of the rural residential areas consolidation. The regional linkage mechanism should be introduced to the planning of village and town so that the allocation will be arrangeed comprehensively. Thirdly, the social security system of the peasants should be perfected and be attached importance to the new community spiritual civilization. At the same time,other measures may be taked to drive the system’linkage as follows:accelerating the process of rural informationization, constructing cooperative financial system and organization in rural, reforming of land taxes and fees system, establishing the land consolidation special fund and judicial organs, supervising the proceeding of the rural residential areas consolidation and so on.
