“…A new and innovative measure of "linking the increase in urban construction land with the decrease in rural construction land" was included in the plan [37][38][39]. This measure entails combining land blocks containing rural settlements that are to be demolished and reclaimed as arable land (land blocks where old buildings will be dismantled), land blocks to be used for urban construction (land blocks where new buildings will be built) and other areas on the basis of the overall land use plan to construct a project area where old buildings will be demolished and new ones built (hereinafter referred to as the "project area").…”

Farmland preservation is a national issue in modern China. Most studies have focused on farmland preservation policies in the agricultural, commercial and financial industries but have devoted relatively little attention to land use planning. Land use planning is crucial for farmland preservation. This paper selected Dachang County, a typical rural county bordering Beijing, as the study area and reviews previous management policies, analyzes changes in farmland management and the socio-economic background over the past ten years. Next, this study presents land use planning decisions regarding farmland preservation measures. These measures included the establishment of farmland preservation zones and the creation of construction expansion zones and land consolidation zones. All of the findings would be useful for researchers as a reference for the study of land resource management and planning.

In China itself the policy challenge is reflected in a growing amount of legislation under the overriding agenda of 'building a new countryside' (Long et al, 2010).…”

“…To build a stronger rural community and improve the living conditions of rural households, community-based rural development initiatives, especially farmers' cooperatives, have been promoted in these countries through policy support (Choi, Kim, Kim, & Kim, 2007;Long, Liu, Li, & Chen, 2010). Scholars argue that China reached a turning point for rural development in the 2000s in terms of per capita gross domestic product (GDP), which was US$1090 in 2003 (Long et al, 2010). The fast-growing economy and stronger international standing mean that China is in a position to broaden its development strategy and provide more support to agricultural and rural development.…”
