Abstract: Abstract: The element coding of rural land contractual management right is basic work for the informational management of rural land contract. In order to use Element coding rules of rural land contractual management right (NY/T 2538-2014) accurately and standardize the confirmation, registration and certification of rural land contract management right, it was necessary to analyze for the key points of the element coding of rural land contractual management right. In this study, the coding structure, coding method and coding rule for the element coding of rural land contractual management right in the NY/T 2538-2014 were introduced firstly, some key issues for the code of county and township level, code of party giving out the contract, contractor code and special area code in the confirmation, registration and certification of rural land contract management right were analyzed deeply by using document survey method and field method, and the concerned solutions for the key points were also given. Four important results were obtained from this research, which were listed as follows: (1) As for the code of county and township level, they should be coded according to the time nodes of the confirmation, registration and certification of rural land contract management right. In order to be convenient in the sharing and management of rural land data, for the county and township, the latest administrative division codes which were published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs must be used. (2) The code of party giving out the contract was basic work for other element coding of rural land contractual management right. If the rural land belonged to the village collective economic organizations or villager team, the code of party giving out the contract should be coded according to the rural land ownership relations. From the angle of rural land ownership relationship, if the collective economy organizations had been division or merger, the code of party giving out the contract should be coded according to the collective economy organizations of division or merger. (3) The contractor contained 3 types, which were peasant household, organization and person. If the person or organization had several contracts, they should be considered as different contractors and coded in different parties giving out the contract. In addition, the code of contractor mainly depended on the contract, which included the contractor and the code of party giving out the contract. (4) There were some special areas in China, such as economic development zone, enclave area. The element coding of rural land contractual management right had nothing to do with the rural land contract management in these special areas. The element coding to rural land contractual management right in these special areas should be coded according to the internal relations between the elements of rural land contractual management right. The important conclusions from this research not only can further deepen the scientific cognition for the element coding of rural land contractual management right, but also will be helpful for improving the application of the NY/T 2538-2014 in the confirmation, registration and certification of rural land contract management right.
