Location choice for integrated land consolidationproject in Fogang county

Abstract: The integrated land consolidation (LC) is a major engineering project, which requires huge financial support. In order to take advantage of limited funds, scientific and effective LC planning should be undertaken. However, selection of a LC project is the premise and foundation of LC planning; therefore the rational selection of the LC project zone directly affects the practical LC effect. Under the urban and rural harmonious development background, the integrated LC project zone system of a county should be structured as an organic whole in which LC projects are selected in relation to each other by the different levels and types.Taking Fogang County as an example, the paper discussed the issue that LC projects were systematically chosen within the scope of the county. First, the paper elaborated the objectives and types of the county-wide integrated LC, and proposed the dominant function of the LC. Second, the paper which combined the relevant national and local policies and regulations of the LC determined the types and integrated LC potential rank of the land block (LC project site) based on the LC functions, and formed the LC potential rank map using the function of spatial analysis of GIS. Finally, according to the selective principles and requirements of the LC project zone, a system of the integrated LC project zone in Fogang was established by the LC potential rank map. The results showed that the system of the integrated LC project zone was composed of three different levels and types of watershed remediation, multi-function LC, and single-function LC in Fogang County. That is, the Pajiang river basin Ⅰ district, the Pajiang river basin Ⅱ district, and the Yanling river basin district. Jitian village, Fengcheng village and Dabei village are the key region of urban and rural construction land hook. Hetian village, Lianhe village, Xintang village and Wangtian village are the key region of the integrated LC for urban and rural construction land. The key region of the rural integrated LC is Chebu village, Tangtang village, Weizhen village, Jiangao village and Sheping village. Guitian village and Jiangao village is the key region of the rural integrated LC of based rural residential LC. Liangtang Village is the key region of the integrated LC of the based environmental governance and agricultural LC.This paper argues that the integrated LC project system of the county should be built on the basis of a view of a whole region. The integrated LC general planning should be conducted based on the integrated watershed remediation project zones0. The compilation of special planning can be selected according to the single and integrated LC project zones0. In addition, the key LC project zones were implemented preferentially which bound together the local economy and the potential of the LC project zones. The method can both improve the systematic nature of the LC planning, and ensure the prioritized completion of key LC projects. The research can provide a reference for the systematic choice0 of the regional LC projects.
