Study On The Current Situation,Suitability, And Practical Mode Of Ruian Rural Cluster Housing

Ever since the reform and open-up, China has been enjoying rapid socioeconomic growth and accelerated urbanization; meanwhile, China is facing such challenges as increasing conflict between land supply and demand, lack of continuous development, and great urban-rural divide, which have already influenced the scientific and harmonious development of the new rural area construction. In order to solve those challenges, many local governments in China have made a lot of exploration based on their own reality and formulated a series of effective methods, such as residential concentration, comprehensive arrangement, and separating homestead from contracted land, so as to promote rural cluster housing and to speed up urban construction, which accelerates new urbanization and coordinated urban and rural development.Base on the elaboration of related concepts and theories, this paper refers to New Village Movement in South Korea, Village Renewal in Germany, Strategy of "Three Concentrations" in Shanghai, and the relatively concentrated living mode in Chongqing; meanwhile, it also analyzes the practice of rural homestead intensive utilization, homestead swap, and urban village reconstruction in Jinhua and Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. The above analysis provides both theoretical and practical bases for promoting Ruian’s rural cluster housing construction.This paper mainly relates to the economic and social development in Ruian. Based on a great quantity of data and status materials, it carries out a deep analysis on the various factors that affect Ruian’s rural cluster housing construction, like the natural, social, and economic factors. Furthermore, it establishes a suitability evaluation system for rural cluster housing:the natural system, socioeconomic system, and public facility system are referred as evaluation sub-systems; evaluation factors are selected from them and evaluation weight and procedure are confirmed for comprehensive evaluation and comparison on the suitability of Ruian rural cluster housing construction. Besides, this paper combines the example of Ruian, arranges the questionnaire to investigate the current living condition of the farmers as well as their willingness to live in cluster housing, and takes four modes of rural housing cluster for analysis and comparison, that is, cluster within villages, cluster within towns, cluster across villages and towns, and cluster across cities. Finally, it is concluded that Ruian rural cluster housing construction should adopt a multi-mode, that is, first focusing on cluster within villages and towns and then considering cluster across villages and towns.In the end, this paper suggests some basic principles and ideas for promoting Ruian rural cluster housing construction. In principle, the construction should respect the rural residents’free will and benefit them; it should have scientific planning and standardized operation; it should advocate concentrated development and save the land; it should be carried out smoothly step by step. In specific, the local government should pay more attention to planning and formulate better measures to promote rural cluster housing construction; funds resources should be widened to increase the investment in construction; land should be made full use of so that the land need to construct rural cluster housing can be ensured; regulatory service should be improved so as to create a better environment for rural cluster housing construction.
