Establishing a set of appropriate standard for rural residential land use of meeting most farmers’ production, life and development needs is the urgent requirement of developing new countryside construction, land increase or decrease hook and land regulation planning. In this paper, 170 households were categorized into three classifications by using K-Means Cluster method after the statistical analysis of survey data. Then, based on the surveyed subjects’ housing land use and their production and economical status, standards for different types of rural housing land use according to national and provincial specifications and regulatory norms were put forward. Results showed that the households could be divided into labor type, semi-farming type and farming type, and the land use standards for each type were 42-45 m2 per person, 48-50 m2 per person and 52-55 m2 per person respectively. This research provides a reference to investigate the residential land use standards accord with the local condition and determine the size and spatial layout of the same type of urban and rural construction land space.
