abstract

orderly promoting the reform of rural collective operating construction land into the market is a key measure to improve the system and mechanism of urban-rural integration development. On the basis of measuring the scale and distribution of rural collective operating construction land, this paper analyzes the difficulties faced by rural collective operating construction land entering the market from a new perspective of land use control. In the industrial, commercial, affordable rental housing and other operational uses, rural collective operating construction land has problems such as insufficient competitiveness and slow progress in entering the market. Further, this paper analyzes the relationship between the entry of rural collective operating construction land into the market and the expropriation of land for development, and points out that under the background that the entry of rural collective operating construction land into the market is restricted by use control, excessive restrictions on the expropriation of land for development will inhibit the maximization of the value of rural collective operating construction land. According to whether it is located within the scope of urban construction land determined by land use planning, this paper divides the rural collective operating construction areas into two types: "in-circle" and "out-of-circle", and puts forward two direct and indirect entry schemes suitable for "in-circle", as well as a remote entry scheme suitable for "out-of-circle", in order to further optimize land management and release the potential of land elements to support economic development.
