Study On The Supervision Performance Of Rural Land Consolidation Project

To solve the contradiction between the current economic development and the protection of cultivated land, an important approach is the land consolidation. By the way of land consolidation, we can increase the area of effective cultivated land, raise the quality of cultivated land resources, improve agricultural production conditions, enhance the land production performance greatly, and promote the sustainable development of social economy in the country side. For a long time, Chinese government has paid great attention to land consolidation. By the end of 2006, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Finance had arranged 8 batches of 2320 government invested projects. The construction scale of these projects reached to 162.6×104hm2, and they also planned to increase 37.3×104hm2 arable land, whose total investment budget was 297.9×109 Yuan. Along with the advancement of land consolidation work, the contents of land consolidation has changed, rural land consolidation has rose to be the national level strategic plan, and become the important platform and tong to promote the new rural construction and balance urban and rural development. From 2010, the central government has arranged 26 billion Yuan to carry forward the demonstration work of rural land consolidation integrally. In order to complete the 400 million mu Hanlaobaoshou high standard basic farmland construction tasks, China will invest 600 billion for new high standards basic farmland during the Twelveth Five-year Plans Period. However, with the rural land consolidation project implementation gradually deepening, its performance problems also gradually exposed. Rural land consolidation project surpasses its estimate cost, can not reach designed productive capacity, and lose after putting into operation, such problems have occurred occasionally. Therefore, carrying out the regulation research of rural land consolidation project and setting up its framework system will have the theoretical and realistic significance on improving the level of investment decision and its construction effect, and promote its healthy development.On the basis of previous researches, this paper studies the theory and methodology of regulation research of land consolidation projects, utilizing the model of combination of theoretical and empirical analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis, with the support of principal-agent theory, incomplete contract theory, stakeholder theory, public goods theory, project governance theory. Besides, this paper also takes some land consolidation projects in Suzhou as examples to fulfill the empirical research. Specifically, this paper carries out the following contents:(1) The regulation system of rural land consolidation projects. From the point of view of public goods attributes of rural land consolidation, the paper analyzes the suppliers and organization process of rural land consolidation projects and discusses the principal-agent relationship, regulation content of rural land consolidation projects, regulation method of rural land consolidation projects. (2) The measurement of regulation performance of rural land consolidation projects.Analysis on the influencing factors for regulation performance of rural land consolidation projects the internal factors and external factors, determines regulation performance measurement index and methods of rural land consolidation projects. (3) The choice of the improvement path for regulation of rural land consolidation projects. On the basis of analysis synergistic regulation, the paper discusses the content, method, and system of regulation of rural land consolidation projects. (4) On the basis of previous researches on theories and methods, the paper would take several land consolidation projects in Suzhou as examples to diagnose the restriction factors of regulation performance of rural land consolidation projects and discusses the selection of improvement paths of rural land consolidation projects.From the research above, some conclusions are drawn out as following:(1) The rural land consolidation has public goods attributes and mostly, governments invest in projects directly. There are three procedures in the government-leading rural land consolidation projects, such as decision-making process, implement process and operation process. In addition, the public, the government, the project owners, the contractors and other interest main bodies form a double multilevel principal-agent relationship.(2) The regulation performance of rural land consolidation projects is affected by both internal factors and external factors. Further more, this thesis has established entropy-weighted extentic matter-element model of the performance measurement of rural land consolidation projects.(3)Regulatory path optimization of rural land remediation projects should be contract-management-centered and goal-oriented, building a longitudinal automation system, and thereby building a transverse collaborative regulatory organization, which involves a multi-level cooperative regulatory mode combining government, market, and society, in a bid to establish a information technology platform supporting its process framework, safeguarding mechanism and achieving the synergy. Collaborative regulatory of rural land remediation project basically includes regulatory purposes, means and contents. The regulatory paradigm embodied in the hierarchy of the regulatory system, running and real-time monitoring of the regulatory system. The supervision methods include cost management, schedule management, quality management, safety and environmental management, as well as establishing a sound mechanism for coordinated regulatory organization.(4) Since the implementation of land consolidation projects, the area of cultivated land resources was increased, the production capacity of cultivated land was enhanced, and farmers’ income was increased in Suzhou city. There are three procedures in the rural land consolidation projects in Suzhou city, such as decision-making process, implement process and operation process, while a double multilevel principal-agent relationship was formd in the process The policy environment and economic environment for land consolidation project are more favorable in Suzhou city, while market environment, technological level and natural conditions will be further improved. Land consolidation project did not implement the project legal person responsibility system, and the final management and maintenance of rural land consolidation is inadequate. The governance structure of land consolidation project has some flaws, and the governance mechanism is not perfect:The regulation system which is made up of investing,constructing and managing has caused the confusion of the main part of rural land consolidation project and organization;Multiple departments’supervision has caused the problem of the lack of responsibility part;The ignorance of post assessment has caused the lack of standardization,Supervision performance evaluation results of rural land remediation project show that, on the whole, regulatory performance level of rural land remediation projects in Suzhou is uneven, and there are large differences between projects, among which, two projects’ regulatory performance’s level is "good", the three projects’supervision performance close to "good" level, one project’s regulatory performance is close to "poor" level. Major constraints of rural land remediation projects includes vegetation cover regulatory performance improvement rate, grain production increasing amount, annual income increasing amount of agricultural land, land use improvement rate, irrigated area increasing rate, shelter forest density, tractor area increasing rate, organization functioning and so on.(5) According to the formation of supervision performance and the supervision lavel of Suzhou’s land consolidation projects,this article brings out concept of co-supervision of land consolidation projects and explores the safeguard measures of enhance the supervision performance of land consolidation projects such as improving the governing of rural land consolidation projects,strengthen the management of rural land consolidation projects,strengthen public participation of rural land consolidation.Some suggestions are proposed to enhance the rural land consolidation project regulation performance based on the conclusions above, such as strengthening synergistic regulation of rural land consolidation project, optimizing the governance structure and governance mechanism of the rural land consolidation projects, strengthening the rural land consolidation project management, establishing rural land consolidation mode based on the landscape ecology, improving public participation mechanism of rural land consolidation, sounding final management and maintenance mechanism in the rural land consolidation project, reasonable implementation farmland management in larger scale, readjustment of agricultural structures, and so on.
