A Review of Research on the Withdrawal of Rural Homesteads in China

Abstract

The withdrawal of rural homesteads is of great practical significance to revitalize China’s idle homesteads, improve land-use efficiency and promote urban-rural harmonious development. Over the years, scholars have conducted a large number of studies and achieved fruitful research results in the area of rural homestead withdrawal. This paper adopts the literature analysis method and inductive summary method to sort out the current status of existing research from two perspectives of research content and research method, and puts forward the deficiencies of current research.
