What does the rural homestead system reform mean?

The reform of rural homestead system stipulates that in the traditional agricultural areas outside the expansion boundary of urban and rural construction land, the homestead distribution system of "one household, one house" and legal area will continue to be implemented. For areas with less arable land per capita and relatively developed secondary and tertiary industries, relatively centralized housing construction is implemented, and "one household, one house" is implemented. In principle, no single scattered homestead distribution is carried out; Within the extended boundary of urban and rural construction land, the government or collective will turn the legal area of homestead into residence by focusing on the construction of rural apartments and peasant residential quarters, and implement "one household, one house". If there are no new homesteads available for distribution, farmers' collectives can make use of the existing construction land in the village, concentrate on building apartments with the support of the government, and implement the homestead rights and interests of rural housing construction. The reform of rural homestead system stipulates that the pilot work of rural homestead reform should be carried out in accordance with the principle of "classified treatment" The so-called classification, that is, "traditional agricultural areas outside the expansion boundary of urban and rural construction land" and "within the expansion boundary of urban and rural construction land", will implement the principle of "one household, one house" in different ways. The reform of "separation of powers" in rural residential land is the reform and deployment made by the No.1 Document of the Central Committee of 20 18. Its purpose is to implement the collective ownership of homesteads, guarantee farmers' qualification rights on homesteads, and moderately liberalize the right to use homesteads and farmers' houses.
