Analysis On The Coordinated Development Of Population Urbanization And Land Urbanization

Urbanization is one of the most important social and economic phenomenon in the world.Since the reform and opening up,the urbanization of our country has achieved great success.Nowadays,the urbanization rate has reached the world average.But there are still some problems in the current process of urbanization,such as the low quality of population urbanization,land sprawl and population urbanization's lagging behind land urbanization,and as a result,a series of social influences have been caused.The main task of urbanization should not only be the increase of speed,but also improvement of quality.We should built China's urbanization into a new-type urbanization which is harmonious,ecologic livable,which can hardly do without the coordination of population urbanization and land urbanization.Therefore,the research on population urbanization and land urbanization is of great importance to our country's urbanization development.Firstly,the development of our country's population urbanization and land urbanization from 1990 to 2012 were compared and analyzed quantitatively.The results shows that from 1990 to 2000,the speed of population urbanization and land urbanization is similar,but from 2000 to 2012,the land urbanization is significantly faster than the population urbanization.Secondly,use coefficient of dispersion to measure coordination degree,this paper divided 2000-2012 into two stages,and calculated the coordination degree of population urbanization and land urbanization respectively,then classified China's 30 provinces(excluding Tibet)based on the coordination degree.The result shows most areas have the problem that the population urbanization and land urbanization is uncoordinated.The problem in eastern coastal region is extremely serious while in central is relatively good.Thirdly,this paper analyzed the cause of the uncoordinated status theoretically,which mainly include fiscal decentralization,and finance,government performance evaluation and the rise of real estate prices.The the above factors were examined by using the national 26 provinces' 2000-2012 panel data,which verified that the fiscal decentralization,and finance,government performance evaluation and the rise of real estate prices are indeed the causes of the rapid expansion of urban land.Here are some advises for promoting the coordinated development of urbanization:first,establish marketization of land requisition system,let the market decide the price of land requisition,put an end to land finance;Second,reform the real estate tax,therefore the local government will obtain new,stable tax income,which can improve the government's excessive land expropriation behavior on one hand,and stabilize the price of real estate on the other hand;Third,reform the household registration system thoroughly and establish labor employment system;Establish land saving and intensive using system,reduce the land demand by improving the land utilization efficiency.
