RESEARCH ON LAND CONSOLIDATION POTENTIAL OF RURAL HABITAT IN CHINA:REVIEW AND PREVIEW
回顾了中国农村居民点土地整理潜力的研究，梳理了相关理论、概念、计算方法和政策，并提出了未来研究方向，对土地管理和城乡规划研究者有参考价值。
This paper reviewed and previewed the research on land consolidation potential of rural habitat(LCPRH) in China.This papercan be concluded as:① there are three primary theories related to LCPRH i.e.rural housing land transition,rural hollowing,and evolution of rural habitat which can provide rural habitat consolidation references for potential calculation and potential exploration.②The concept of LCPRH is always defined as cultivated land area increased by consolidation.Three methods are usually adopted in potential calculation i.e.method of constructive land standard per capita,method of constructive land standard per farm household and method of idle land rate for rural habitat.③ The cultivated land coefficient increased by consolidation is often utilized to rank potential level.④Connection of urban construction land increase and rural construction land decrease,new rural construction and urban-rural integration are the three central policies concerned with potential exploration.In the end,the suggestions were put forward as follows:① multi-disciplinary theories should be meshed so as to establish a new theory framework of LCPRH which can be utilized to guide the potential calculation method better.②Increased land area equally important to cultivated land area should be paid much attention in the concept depiction of LCPRH.The revision for method of constructive land standard per capita should be more systemic and logistic.The rank indexes for LCPRH should be selected more targeted.③ The relationship between potential exploration and three policies should be made clearer in order to provide enough supports forpolicy establishment and technique utilization in LCPRH.
