PLANNING AS A TOOL OF EFFECTIVE LAND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN CHINA

Abstract

The article examines the main processes of land use planning in China, since the lack of land resources is an inevitable reality, because the accelerated process of industrialization and urbanization inevitably leads to an increase in demand for land resources (especially in cities). It should be noted that China is currently in a transitional period of rapid socio-economic development and diversification of land use, so the growth of non-agricultural land requires the development of scientific and reasonable land use planning suitable for the national conditions of the state. Three stages of land use planning in China are considered, achievements in this area are summarized, and existing problems are analyzed. We have proposed a concept for the development of «innovation, coordination, sustainability, openness and sharing» which must be taken into account when planning land use. Recommendations for improving land planning in China should include: adapting to the demands of the modern economy, improving planning standards, strengthening monitoring, training personnel, and introducing innovations.
