History Of Land Protection Regulation On Urban Development Across China

To clearly see the difference between these two contrasting regulations, we can look at some examples of each

There is no doubt that urban agriculture has many benefits people who are living in urban area especially fixing the food insecurity problem. According to the USDA Economic Research Service (2016), food insecurity can happened when a household loss access to fresh foods due the lack in social and low economic. When the population of people concentrated in an area with bad economic situation increases, it will later affects the employment opportunities and food insecurity might be a critical issue. This is supported by a

I am born and raised in Hong Kong and I have spent most of my life there. Hong Kong is full of sky scrappers and we seldom see farmlands here. Since the land in Hong Kong is limited, we do not have large pieces of land for agricultural purposes. Most of our food is imported from other countries. However, we got a few small farmlands in Hong Kong, but they are mostly owned and used by households to grow crops and feed on their own, not for sale.

Assessing and quantifying these types of behavioral reactions regarding the economic consequences of a proposed standard will always pose difficulties for the FASB, “There is no way of determining optimal regulatory policies that maximize the social welfare or the public interest. The best that regulators can do is to try to determine that a net benefit exists-that is, an excess of benefits over costs.” (Wolk et al p 129)

Numerous independent agencies can impose restrictions on prices, entry into markets, disclosures or contract terms. Yet agencies often conduct little or no economic analysis to identify the need for, or effects of, restrictions before they're adopted. So agencies can impose massive mandates

Even though there was still a good amount of people living in rural areas, it was beginning to transform, attracting people more towards urban places

Good regulation is always appropriate, balanced, and relevant. Regulatory design should be proportional to the size of the problem and not beyond (as per Lesson 2, week 2). An indicator of poor proportionality in a regulation is compliance burden. If a regulation is poorly designed,

The ambiguous nature of the term “planning”, as it relates to land use, is historically tied to the practice of zoning. Zoning in the US came about in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to protect the interests of property owners. The practice was found to be constitutionally sound by the Supreme Court decision of Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co.in 1926. Soon after, the Standard State Zoning Enabling Act gave authority to the states to regulate land use. Even so, the practice remains controversial today. The figure below shows the timeline of the evolution of land use planning which has undergone a paradigm shift from being focused to economics to a more holistic one, which now covers economy, environment and socio- economic. Each

The northwest has been under sand dunes since 1950 and has been mostly abandoned. The sand dunes keep growing larger and covering the crop land. The farmers are having to drill wells to expand their harvests and water tables in the North China Plain are the water sources for most of the country's wheat and corn.

While their traditions pervade to present day, the popularity of agriculture has decreased significantly. Sweden is one of the largest countries in Europe in terms of area, but the percentage of farm land is quite small. Only 6.4% (2.7 million hectares) of their land is arable and almost 0% (9000 hectares) of their land is used for permanent crops shown in Figure 1. This totals to approximately 3,066,000 hectares of agricultural area in the country (Country/Territorial Notes). This number has slightly declined in the past few years. This is because in some areas, marginal farm land has been abandoned and reverted back to forest area (Facts

With 1.4 billion people to feed, China is now the largest and maybe the most imbalanced agricultural country. Per capita incomes in rural regions vary a lot. Some farm to make their fortunes, while others farm to live. Moreover, tractors and chemical fertilizer produces fine crop as well as great disaster. In fact, the negative effect is even profounder. For example, hardly can you turn soil polluted by fertilizer into what it used to be. Its micro-structure has been damaged irreversibly. In some areas, people are finding their yield absolutely depends on chemicals. Something must be done to save the COUNTRY.

Land has always been a decisive element in deciding the social class structure in agrarian and rural societies. It is a status symbol, source of income, means of production and an important source of political and social influence. The agrarian structure inherited by Pakistan, after independence, was socially divisive and due to this very same reason it has been a matter of concern for policy makers since independence. Many agricultural reforms have been carried out in Pakistan since independence to eradicate this social division, improve the condition of tenants, abolish feudalism and to increase productivity but no major improvement has been seen as a result of these land reforms. This essay discusses about these land reform in detail and lays out the major attributes and agendas of these land reforms. It also debates about the major reasons which hindered the fair implementation of these land reforms.
