Land Remediation And The Path Of The Coordination Mechanism To Promote Regional Economic Development

As the substantial foundation for the economic growth and social progress, Land has become the carrier loaded with rapid economy development and all-round social prosperity in the over thirty years since the Reforming and Opening-up in China. However, the consequential issues such as the food shortage, construction land inadequacy, environmental pollution and biological problems, enlarging regional gap and urban-country margin as well, so that the regional coordinated and sustainable development faces serious challenges. As the exploitation is no longer fitted to the requirements of economic development nowadays, land consolidation with an aim at revitalizing the stock land and increasing land productive capacity is enhanced to be the National Strategy instead. In the contemporary period, land consolidation is not only the key measure of ensuring development and protecting resources, but also an important prop for the implementation of regional coordinated-development.To study the mechanism and realizing route of how land consolidation promotes the coordinated-development of regional economy, the thesis uses the practice of Shandong province and explores the effects that land consolidation has on increasing regional product, narrowing the regional gap, enhancing regional relationships and improving ecological environment. Besides, the thesis conduct some routes between land consolidation and regional economic coordinated-development which direct the land consolidation along a more scientific and rational direction. All in all, the research has theoretical and practical significance to the orderly practice of land consolidation and successful completion of regional coordinated-development.After combing the literature, we discovered that the representative literature evaluating land consolidation from the angle of regional economic coordinated-development is very limited. In order to analyze the problem more clearly, this thesis first defines four connotations of regional economic coordinated-development including increasing regional product, narrowing the regional gap, enhancing regional relationships and improving economy as well as ecological environment. Based on this, it deducts and analyzes the effects that land consolidation has on each connotation by three-element growth model and improved stock-flow model and so on. The conclusions can be summarized under four main aspects:Firstly, by increasing effective land investment, land consolidation can maintain steady growth of total output. Secondly, combined with the link of the increase and decrease of the land for construction use in both urban and rural area, the land consolidation can ease the intensity of the situation in developed area where the land is scarce and the price is climbing and undeveloped area where the land price is cheap and the capital is scarce. In this way, the gap between developed and undeveloped areas can be reduced. Thirdly, by optimizing the allocation of land resources, the land consolidation can help the industrial upgrade and reception which will promote the industrial transfer and also enhance the regional relationship. Fourthly, by technological fix, the land consolidation can effectively solve many ecological environment problems such as land degradation, soil erosion and landscape function attenuation, as a result of which make regional economy and environment remain more coordinated and stable.In order to verify the pre-judgment that "land consolidation has a one-way promotional function upon regional economic coordinated-development", the thesis sets up indicator system for the evaluation on regional economic coordination degree. Based on that, two time series of land consolidation scale and regional economic coordination degree are tested by "Grainger Causality Test". After that, double logarithm regression model between them is established so that we can explore their linear relationship. According to this method and steps, the thesis carries out empirical analysis through the example of Shandong Province. The results show that land consolidation does improve the regional economic coordinated-development in Shandong Province except for the western district. The results of regression model show that the regional economic coordination degree increases by0.1%at1%increases of the land consolidation scale in the whole area. In comparison, the elasticity in the east and central district are0.15%and6.8%. In the matter of fact, the results accord with actual conditions in Shandong province very well which not only prove that the model is reliable, but also confirm the judgment that land consolidation has ability to promote the regional economic coordinated-development.Finally, based on the theory analysis and empirical study, the thesis offers four choices to help land consolidation promote the regional economic coordinated-development. The choices include carrying out differential land consolidation pattern; constructing market trading mechanism of the linking indicators of the increase and decrease of the land for construction use in both urban and rural area; forming space-fused land consolidation strategy to undertake non balanced layout in the underdeveloped areas and realize industrial transition. Only in these ways can land consolidation improve the pattern of land use and promote balanced development among regions.
