In the paper, taking Tengzhou city of Shandong Province as the research object and on the direction of related theories such as geography, economics, sociology, based on property data of spatial distribution of rural residential and survey data of living conditions of rural households, combined qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, we explore the necessity and problem of village merger. The paper includes six parts:The first part is a brief introduction that discusses the background and significance of the subject, researches the importance and analysis the situation of village merger.

By the above analysis, this article gets the following conclusions:(1) Our village construction has some problems such as a waste of land, the lower level of agricultural modernization and lack of rural infrastructure. By village merger, it could increase china's cultivated land area, improve the lever of agricultural mechanization, increase non-agricultural employment, save the nation's financial expenditures, and improve the efficiency of the rural infrastructure construction.
