"Land is the source of all production and existence, it is the place for human beings to produce and live. " In recent years, with the economic growth and urban evolution, the demand for land is growing rapidly. Because of the land resources is limited, some middle to big sized cities' land planning have achieved their saturation. Local governments have changed their direction to round suburbs. Constructions such as infrastructures, residential buildings, commercial buildings, economic development zones, and industrial parks have been built. Though expropriate land from farmers play an important role in China's economic and social developing process, some issues araise due to the expropriation. Serial problems like abuse the power of land expropriation, use land expropriation to make profits, and harm the rights of farmers happen all the time. Farmers' interests and life have not been protected through land expropriation, therefore, further social conflicts have been occurred. Further more, local governments' images are violated at the same time and the social harmony has been harmed. In conclusion, local governments' responsibility through suburbs land expropriation process should be emphasized. Promoting local governments to use their powers legally is important.This thesis is studying the local governments' responsibility during land expropriation. Firstly, it studies China's current situation of land expropriation. Use statistics to elaborate the facts that China's arable land proportion is deceasing rapidly, waste of land resources is critical, the number of landless farmers is increasing. Secondly, the article studies the case of Kangbashi newly-developed area and reviews its land expropriation process. Then, it discovers the problems such as abusing expropriation rights, illegal land expropriation, violation of farmers' interests, and violences involved through the process. However, above problems are not only occurring in the Kangbashi case, but happening in most of governments' land expatiation cases in China. Therefore, the author summarizes and analyzes the reasons are:(1)China's land expropriation system has flaws. (2)Local governments do not work effectively through the process. (3) Land expropriation divisions are lack of supervision. (4) farmers are in the inferior position. After analyzing the reasons, it's clear that local governments plays an important role in the process of land expropriation. Their responsibility are not only expressing on formulating regulations, but also on maintaining social interests. Though governments' performances are improving, new regulations has applied and better achievements are occurred, the performances are still unsatisfactory due to their deep-rooted believe of "official standard", sense of servility and governments' system flaws. In summary, the author proposes suggestions regard to strengthen the responsibility of land expropriation for governments. Governments have to not only straight their thinking, define the roles in the expropriation process, and give reasonable and effective advices to current land expropriation system, but also establish the whole process of land acquisition and monitoring system,improve government accountability mechanism, etc,In order to perform their responsibilities, solve the problem occurred through land expropriation, ensure land expropriation go smoother, and promote the whole society harmonious developing.
