Rural Industrialization's Impact on Rural Land System Transformations: A Study of China's East Coast

This paper first explains the reasons and significance of studying the interaction between the changes of land systems in rural areas and rural industrialization. From the perspective of urban unemployment, this paper explains the significance and urgency of rural industrialization, and gives the definition of rural industrialization by various researchers and that of this paper itself. After that, this paper redefines property rights following Yoram Bazel's incomplete theory of property rights. On this basis, this paper discusses the interaction between different rural industrialization models and different land systems in the Pearl River Delta, Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This paper analyzes the common ownership of land in the Pearl River Delta, the collective ownership of public ownership in southern Jiangsu, and the collective ownership of public owning and private occupying in Zhejiang. Corresponding comparison and analysis of the land systems in the three places are made. Finally, this paper concludes that with the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the reasonable allocation of land development rights has become the core issue in the reform of land system in rural areas. Based on the uniqueness of the collective management construction land system in the coastal areas, taking the rural land systems and rural industrialization models in the Pearl River Delta, Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the research subjects, this paper draws several policy suggestions and enlightenment.
