Abstract:
As an integral component of comprehensive land consolidation, rural residential consolidation serves as a pivotal means of optimizing the spatial arrangement of national territory and fostering sustainable rural development. Comprehensive land consolidation at the territorial level is currently in the exploratory phase of synergizing various land use elements across townships or villages to enhance the quality and efficiency of territorial space. However, rural areas are plagued by a substantial amount of inefficient land use, necessitating urgent optimization of internal functions and structures through comprehensive land consolidation. From the perspective of the man-land relationship, this study establishes four criterion-level indicators and takes Lingtou Village, Jianfeng Town, Ledong Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, as a case study. Utilizing cadastral small-scale data for quantitative analysis, the study calculates the actual reorganizable area within the village and proposes remediation measures in conjunction with village positioning and residents' preferences. The findings reveal that research on the potential of rural residential consolidation should focus on man-land relations and conflicts; the results of potential evaluations align with village development needs to a certain degree; and remediation efforts should prioritize issues related to the locality and ecological control of homesteads. The man-land relationship evaluation system enhances the implementability and operability of the consolidation potential, aiming to provide valuable references and insights for advancing comprehensive rural land improvement.
