Thirdly, the paper discusses the condition and problem of the current administration system for resettlement community. Finally, based on case study, the author makes policy suggestion to government agency in the purpose of resettlement community development.The author believes that various level of government all emphasize the issue of resettlement community, because it is deeply related to new countryside construction and urbanization in China, as well as the balance-keep between urban and countryside. Currently, the major character of administration system on resettlement community is still government-led, while the community autonomy still underdeveloped. This model for resettlement community will last for some years.
