“…The four predominant components were extracted from the 17 original indices with the varimax rotation method; the first four principal components can explain 81.861% of the total variance (Table 2). Based on the rotated component matrix, component I primarily describes the urban-rural social development degree, which consists of the consumption of chemical fertilizer, per capita cultivated land area, non-agriculture population proportion, percentage of rural nonfarm payrolls, average number of hospital beds per 100 inhabitants, and persons receiving lowest cost-of living per 100 inhabitants with 29.125% of the total variance [3,40,44,45]. Component II, which is composed of the per capita public-budgetary expenditure, per capita fixed-asset investment, per capita domestic product, green coverage rate of built-up area and highway net density, is related to the degree of economic development and accounts for 27.397% of total variance [41,46,47].…”

“…In recent years, many scholars have conducted detailed studies of China's urban-rural equalized development from multiple perspectives that considered development models and manners [34][35][36][37], spatio-temporal patterns [3], and land system reform [38][39][40]. Most studies used qualitative analyses and descriptions in certain aspects of URED, and the majority of these studies were focused on the eastern coastal region of China; therefore, quantitative study of urban-rural equalized development in the western region of China is of great theoretical and practical significance.…”

Urban-rural equalized development (URED) is recognized as strongly contributing to the narrowing of societal, economic, life, and environmental gaps between urban and rural areas and is also an effective way to solve the "three rural issues" of rapid industrialization and urbanization in China. This paper explores the spatio-temporal patterns of URED in the state-designated experimental zone of Chengdu at a county level by using quantitative survey data from 2004 to 2013. The major findings are as follows: (1) the regions that are closer to the central city of Chengdu had a more optimistic urban-rural equalized development outlook (i.e., the three-tier geographical distribution phenomenon); (2) this distribution characteristic was gradually broken up in the process of urban and rural integration, and the differences between the three tiers has been narrowing; and (3) the gap between urban and rural areas has been significantly improved and exhibited a higher dynamic degree in the second and third tiers than in the first tier, which suggests a new development mode that exhibits better quality and higher sustainability. Given these results, the development orientation and strategy of each tier are discussed according to the characteristics of urban and rural equalized development.

“…This has led to considerable controversy and conflict in the allocation of land, particularly relating to decisions to convert agricultural land into construction land on the urban fringe (Tang, et al, 2012;Liang, et al, 2015;Jin, et al, 2016;Yep and Forrest, 2016). Not only has this changed the character of peri-urban land, but it has threatened local food supplies (Yang and Li, 2000;Chen, 2009;Zhou, 2010;Jiang, et al, 2015;Fang, et al, 2016) and has changed the culture of rural life (Friedman, 2006;Xu, et al, 2011;Siciliano, 2012;Li, et al, 2014).…”

Collective action in implementing top-down land policy: The case of Chengdu, China

Rapid urbanization in China has led to the increasing scarcity of land suitable and available for construction. Concurrently, rural depopulation has resulted in many vacant properties, including farmhouses and buildings. In order to address this issue, a national land transfer policy has been implemented since the early 2000s in which vacant rural properties are returned to agriculture in return for similar areas of periurban land being released for construction. While there have been many different approaches to policy implementation, most commentators agree that successful schemes are characterized by the involvement of local people. As yet, however, there has been little research into how such local collective action is organized, and whether it is really possible to address top-down policies through local, bottom-up, action. Based on a case study of the earliest pilot program in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, we seek to demonstrate that the top-down nature of China's land transfer policy does not mean that it is necessarily best implemented in a top-down manner. Indeed, we suggest that effective collective action is crucial to the realization of such policies. In particular, the case study indicates that with the empowerment of villagers to participate in the policy process it is possible to achieve a broad consensus on the best approach to addressing the problems, with community interests protected and properly monitoring. In offering a new way of understanding collective action, we conclude that even in cases where a top-down approach is imposed, communities can be empowered to act collectively in implementing the policy from the bottom-up.

“…Consequently, research on potential existing construction land has developed in recent years (Reidsma et al, 2011), especially in rural land reclamation areas, coastal areas and major cities (Long, 2006;Liu et al, 2010;Long et al, 2012). Conflicting interests in the coordination of urban and rural construction land and the fragmentation of construction land in urban areas of China have also received attention (Tang et al, 2012;Siciliano, 2012;Wei and Zhang, 2012). Therefore, calculating and assessing an area's potential for construction is regarded as a fundamental area of study in regional development, industrialization and urbanization (Munda, 2006;Fan, 2009;UN, 2005;Xu et al, 2009).…”
