To ease the conflict with the building occupied and cultivated land protection and to solve the optimization of structure and layout in land-use, rural residential land consolidation, through which can protect arable land, replaced the space for development and improve the living conditions, became a focal point to crack conflict with rural-urban land use and aroused an active interest in academic. However, the study, from county scale and farmers'perspective, was still very limited. The study, which could provide theoretical basis for the practice of rural residential land consolidation, taking Youyang for example, could provide theory to rural residential land consolidation and land use change in urban and rural construction, and enrich its theory and practice.Youyang was the east gate of the Chongqing city and also was an key areas of poverty alleviation and development in new era. Because of its mountainous, undeveloped economic and the rapid advance of the industrialization and urbanization, the task of farmland protection was arduous. It appeared that the rural settlements scattered, Farmer's living conditions was poor, and the phenomena of over-occupied or waste were serious. When the household registration system reform was started, the conflict of the urban-rural land use would deepen. The rural residential land consolidation was an inevitable choice to protect arable land, to crack the conflict of urban-rural land use and to promote coordinated development between urban and rural areas. The main conditions, which could make the rural residential land consolidation carry out, were scientific understanding of the consolidation potential and the differences of treatment mode. The study took Youyang for example, and carried out household surveys by participatory rural assessment methods. Typical village were divided into three different types according to those terrain and income level. On this basis of farmers'living situation and housing use, the study analyzed the potential of rural residential land consolidation in different types with factor analysis; because it showed differences of types in farmers'attitude with current housing, planning of building a new house, relocation and housing disposal methods, the appropriate different treatment mode should be taken. The main conclusions were followed:(1)The five typical villages were divided into three types according to its terrain and economic level, which separately represented the village of plain, low-hill and middle-hill.(2)Farmers'living situation, mainly including housing conditions and living environment, were different in three types.â‘ Housing conditions. The farmers'housing conditions gradually became worse fromâ… â†’â…¡â†’â…¢, and the difference was obvious. The housing floor constantly grew shorter; the housing structure varied from brick→brick and shingle→shingle; the transformation time changed from near to far, the housing cost altered from high to low.â‘¡The environment of living. According to the order ofâ… â†’â…¡â†’â…¢,the source of drinking water varied from tap water to simple tap water, and the distance differed from near to far; the condition of cultivation became inconvenience, but the distance of travel and health center/primary did not significantly change.(3) The use of current and remaining housing was not significantly different in three types.â‘ The use of current housing. In the order ofâ… â†’â…¡â†’â…¢, the ration of farmers and idle area varied from high to low, and there had idle land because of migrant workers, the changes of labor force and the adjustment of family livelihood,but no significant difference among three types.â‘¡the main use of the remaining housing included collapse, using change, others'living and idle. the changes of use was the main use in the typeâ… ; the changes of use and new houses were the main use in the typeâ…¡; and others'living was the main use in the typeâ…¢. At the same time, some of remaining houses in the typeâ…¡andâ…¢had collapsed.(4) The major kind of consolidation potential in the study area had ultra-occupied land, extensive land use, more than one house and the decrease of population. And there were some differences in the three types of villages. The results showed that the first and second consolidation potential separately were ultra-occupied land and extensive land use in the typeâ… ; and the first and second consolidation potential separately were extensive land use and ultra-occupied land in the typeâ…¡; and the first and second consolidation potential separately were extensive land use and the decrease of population in the typeâ…¢.(5) The farmers'will,mainly reflected by the attitude to current housing, planning of building a new house, relocation and housing disposal methods, had a difference in the villages.â‘ The attitude to current housing. The attitude in the typeâ… andâ…¡were both mainly satisfied, but in the typeâ…¢was mainly unsatisfied.â‘¡The plan of building a new house. It became weaker fromâ…¢â†’â… â†’â…¡, but all of them intended to build a new house in other places.â‘¢The moving will. It gradually weakened fromâ…¢â†’â…¡â†’â… .â‘£The method of housing disposal. There was no significant difference on housing disposal in the three types. Most of farmers, who planned to move, mainly chose compensation, and also some farmers were willing to remove with no conditions in the typeâ…¡andâ…¢.(6) The results showed there were different from the treatment mode in three types. it should take the mode of central village and the pattern of apartment in the typeâ… , the mode of central village and the internal transformation of the village in the typeâ…¡, and the mode of overall relocation and the pattern of the internal transformation of the village in the typeâ…¢. |
