Abstract:
Generally, China is still in the middle accelerating stage of urbanization. Rural idle homesteads are the main problems of rural areas in China, according to two elements (the population and land) can be divided into two types: the first is one household with houses, and the second is the population migration. Through the research questionnaire and interview analysis, the authors know that the traditional land concept is still deeply rooted among farmers. The phenomena of building houses only along the roads and the multi-story ostentation are prominent. The needs of traditional agricultural production have become a major obstacle to the management system of idle homesteads. The authors suggest that the management system of idle homesteads should be divided into three steps based on villager autonomy: the first step is to promote the voluntary withdraw system of idle homesteads, the second step is to issue homesteads use right certificates, the third step is the classification of the ways of idle homesteads use.

Keywords:
