Research On The Protection Of Farmers' Rights And Interests And Countermeasures In The Urban And Rural Construction Land Increase And Decrease Linkage Projec

With the acceleration of China ’ s urbanization process,the rural population continues to shift to the city,resulting in idle rural construction land,the emergence of’ multi-family,amphibious occupation ’ phenomenon;on the other hand,with the rapid expansion of cities and towns,the pressure of urban construction scale and new construction land index is increasing.Under this background,the policy of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land came into being.The original intention of this policy is to make the layout of village land more reasonable and the living environment and quality of life of the masses improved significantly by implementing the project of linking urban and rural construction land increase and decrease.At the same time,urban construction land indicators promote urban development,and rural land return gains are used to promote new rural construction and help rural revitalization.However,in the process of policy implementation,local governments have relatively large discretion and lack of corresponding supervision,resulting in farmers become vulnerable groups in policy implementation,unable to effectively restrict local government behavior.At the same time,in order to pursue the maximization of fiscal revenue and political achievements,some grassroots cadres violate the wishes of farmers and force farmers to ’ go upstairs ’ to damage the rights and interests of farmers.In 2020,a number of cases of grassroots governments forcing farmers to “ go upstairs ” regardless of farmers ’ interests when implementing the project of “ living together in villages ” on the Internet have attracted wide attention across the country.The so-called “ village merging ” is a project based on the policy of increasing and decreasing urban and rural construction land.As the project includes many tasks such as house relocation in old areas,land reclamation in old areas,house construction in resettlement areas,and house expropriation in new areas,etc.The whole process of the project is closely related to the vital interests of farmers.Different from general projects,the project linked to the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land involves not only project management,but also rural governance.Improper handling may lead to multiple contradictions among farmers,governments,implementers and other subjects,and even affect social harmony and stability.This paper takes Z city of S province as an example,summarizes the experience of Z city in the implementation of the project on the basis of the implementation of the construction land increase and decrease linkage project in Z city.Taking the specific project under implementation as an example,it uses the form of investigation and interview to explore the problems existing in the current increase and decrease linkage project,explains the causes of the problems combined with the rural governance theory,and puts forward countermeasures and strategies to solve the problems.Through this research,it is pointed out that the insufficient governance capacity of grassroots governments is the main reason for the increase-decrease linkage projects.As the implementers of the project,the grassroots government acts as both“ athletes ” and “ referees ” in the whole process of project implementation,which eventually leads to the deviation of policy objectives.In view of the current problems,this study proposes to further improve the policy of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land,clarify the role of farmers,village collectives,development enterprises and the government in the project,construct the communication mechanism between the government and development enterprises,village collectives and the public,enhance scientific and technological innovation,and improve the ability of whole process supervision.
