EVALUATING THE EVOLUTION AND PILOT REFORMS OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL LAND SYSTEMS IN CHINA

This study invested the evolution of China’s rural residential land system through seven phases, exploring shifts in peasants’ rights to their land and housing. It highlights pilot initiatives in these areas. Moreover, the adoption of the “Three Rights Separation” model in four Eastern provinces has spurred innovative policies, such as building area limits, recognition of collective economic entities, land restitution methods, and strategies for efficiently using residential and vacant lands. These initiatives have optimized land use and advanced rural development. The results have been crucial in strengthening the land system, significantly boosting peasants’ welfare and economic stability.
