During the land use, these stakeholders have this and that relation. The interest web is constructed by diversified stakeholders, benefit claims and benefit practicable ways. This complicated web leads to all kinds of land use conflict and the key of the conflict lies in the dependence on land and divergence of target among different stakeholders.(2) Through the analysis of causes of land use conflict, we can understand the essence of land use conflict and find ways to solve this conflict. This thesis explains the reasons of land use conflict in the aspects of political environment, social system, behaviors of conflict subjects, etc. It explains that the lack of political participation right and expression right among the people leads to the vulnerable status of people in the political power.
