Abstract

As an effective land policy that can invigorate rural construction areas and balance urban and rural development, land tickets not only concretely embody the land resource-asset-capitalization process, but also bring economic benefits to the farmers concerned. However, from the perspective of resource-asset-capitalization, the specific environmental impacts and economic costs of the process in land tickets and the changes in the values of ecosystem services need to be considered. This paper uses land tickets in Yanba, Jiangjin, Chongqing as an example, combined with life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle cost assessment (LCC), and methods for the evaluation of ecosystem services to quantify the environmental load, economic costs, and changes in the value of ecosystem services in the process of land resource-asset-capitalization. Moreover, through this analysis, we attempted to determine the contributions of different environmental indicators and the key links restricting the whole process of land resource-asset-capitalization. On this basis, through a sensitivity analysis, we explored the possibility of reducing environmental impact during the whole process of land resource-asset-capitalization. Through this research, we sought to explore the realization process of land tickets and to enrich the empirical research on land resource-asset-capitalization.

Highlights

At present, the outlook for China’s natural resources is not optimistic
We found that the research on land resource-asset-capitalization and land tickets has been mainly concentrated on the theory of carding and actual operational forms, without the necessary focus on the process of land resource-asset-capitalization
In order to solve the problems of the growth of both urban and rural construction land, and to establish an institutional channel for realizing land and property rights for farmers, the Chongqing government initiated land tickets

Summary

Introduction

The outlook for China’s natural resources is not optimistic. The total amount of natural resources is abundant, but the per capita occupancy is very low [1]. The contradiction between humans and the land has long been a difficult problem for sustainable development [4,5]. This contradiction is mainly reflected in the extreme mismatch between the rapidly growing population and limited land resources, and the resulting destruction of resources and the environment [6]. China has a vast territory, its per capita available land resources are Sustainability 2020, 12, 1236; doi:10.3390/su12031236 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability resources and the environment [6]. China has a vast territory, its per capita available land resources are very limited due to the uneven development of its economy, the uneven distribution of its resources, and its large population base. With the adjustment of China's macroeconomic and the changes in personal development intentions, increasingly rural
