论公共利益的界定模式

On the Defining Model of Public Interests

2007年10月1日起我国颁布施行的《物权法》被视为是私人财产保护的权利宣言,人们对其予以很高的期望。但《物权法》并没有界定公共利益的概念,各地国家机关特别是行政机关将公共利益作随意扩张,以公共利益名义侵犯私有财产权的行为时常发生,从而不能有效防止公共利益的无限扩张及公共利益的误用与滥用。对公共利益进行界定,不仅有助于《物权法》在实践中的应用,而且有助于建立公共利益与私人利益的良性互动关系以促进社会和谐发展。

The Property Law issued on October 1, 2007 is regarded as the safeguard of private properties with high expectations from people of different walks. Unfortunately, the concept of public interests is not defined in it, giving rise to willful explanations and interpretations from administrations of different levels. In consequence, it is not rare to see violations of private properties in the name of public interests, and willful expansions, misuses or abuses of the concept frequently occur. A clear definition of public interests, in this case, is not only helpful to further enhance the application of the law, but also conducive to the harmonious development of society and the forming of a good interaction between public and private interests.
