After building a new socialist countryside was put forward in the16th of party5in plenary meeting, the central government provides rural areas with strong supportsin policies and money. Under such a background many local governments have carriedout a lot of useful exploration activities. With the new rural construction andurbanization further advancing, Village relocation and combination, as a new way ofimproving living conditions of farmers and villages, has been extensively expanded inmany cities and provinces. To a certain extent, this way promoted the intensiveutilization of rural land and benefited some farmers. However, there are also manyproblems in implementation due to different conditions in different areas. Thus it hasaroused great focus and controversy. In order to implement it timely and appropriately,it is quite significant to analyze the feasibility and non-feasibility of policies, study theproblems and seek the solutions.This paper, by using the method of normative analysis, literature analysis andempirical research, has a further research on village relocation and combination. Withthe investigation and analysis of related practice in Heze city of Shandong province, bycombining theoretical research in domestic and foreign areas, the author gives someprinciples of village relocation and combination.
