Study of the Legal System Related to Collective Land Ownership

The issue of land ownership is an important aspect, which needs resolving in the legislation. It is an urgent core issue that should be resolved through the readjustment of the law. The main issues of focus include: clear the main body of collective land ownership in rural areas, respect collective land ownership and interests, realize the integrated protection of lawful property rights in the sense of judicature, and ensure optimum distribution of land resources. These issues emphasize the deepening of institutional reform of land use, protecting the farmers' interest, promoting economic development and safeguarding social stability. In an attempt to improve the quality of governing bodies involved, and to better address the exercise of power of collective land ownership and distribution of income, the author provides suggestions with regard to establishing appropriate legislation for the transfer of collective land- use rights (such as, agriculture-oriented land, land used for construction and land used for building a dwellings).
