Reflection and Exploration of Rural Homestead Reform - A Case Study of Ningguo City

Abstract

This paper focuses on analyzing the current situation of rural homesteads in Ningguo City, including the widespread issue of idle homesteads and the phenomenon of rural hollowing. Due to the hilly terrain in Ningguo City, rural residents' dwellings are relatively scattered, posing challenges to the construction of the new countryside and increasing management complexity. Through in-depth investigation and analysis, the paper proposes diverse solutions to address these issues: 1. Homestead return and compensation: Promoting methods for returning homesteads and compensating with cultivated land or exchanging homesteads for vouchers to offset urban housing purchases, facilitating the rational use of land and the urbanization process of farmers. 2. Centralized resettlement and nursing homes: Through centralized resettlement, reducing the scattered living of rural residents is conducive to the construction and management of the new countryside. 3. Innovative utilization of homestead resources: Distinctive homesteads with resources such as Qinglong Bay and Fangtang Township in Ningguo City can be leased for the construction of homestays, exhibition halls, and popular tourist spots, promoting regional tourism and cultural industry development. 4. Exchange of rural homesteads for cultivated land: Adopting the form of exchanging one acre of homestead for three acres of cultivated land makes it more acceptable for farmers. This research not only provides specific and feasible solutions for the reform of rural homesteads in Ningguo City but also offers references for other regions facing similar problems, contributing to the broader implementation and success of rural homestead reform.
