Practice Mode and Value Research of Reform of Rural Collective Economy Property Right System in Beijing Rural-urban Continuum

In the research, reform of rural collective economy property right system in Beijing rural-urban continuum was explored in terms of background, cause, pro- cess and practice modes by surveying and interviewing, and the value of system reform on urbanization in rural areas was illustrated from the perspective of farmers who lose lands. The results showed that since reform and opening-up, disadvan- tages of collective economy property are always the fundamental cause of reform; rural-urban contradiction produced from rapid urbanization makes the reform much more urgent; shareholding co-operative system is the essence of reform of collective economy property right system. Rural collective economy property right system in Beijing includes stock-assets quantification shareholding co-operative system, share- capitalization of contractual land management right, farmers as shareholders by investment, and resource and capital mode, with advantages and disadvantages respectively. The common character should be noticed is that all modes have share on contractual right of land, indicating the core of the reform of property system lies in asset quantification and stock quota. In improving urban-rural integration and modern market system, as well as endowing more rights to farmers, reform of rural collective economy property right system is of great significance, which provides a transition space and buffer mechanism for urbanization in rural areas.

Convergence Analysis of Village Collective Economy Based on a Long-Term (1978-2018) Observation of 40 Villages in the Suburbs of Beijing

This paper uses the follow-up survey data of six time points between 1978 and 2018 from 40 fixed observation points in Beijing suburbs by stratified sampling,and makes a long-term observation and analysis of the convergence of village collective economy(VCE).The main findings are as follows.(1)Since the start of reform and opening-up,the gap between villages in terms of total village economic income(TVEI)and total assets of village collectives has obviously widened,and the gap between villages in terms of the number of members of VCE organizations has also widened to a certain extent.(2)There is a big gap in VCE between villages in urban-rural fringe,plain and mountainous areas,and the convergence of"space club"appears.(3)In the early stage of reform and opening up,the VCE development had the opportunity to reshuffle,but from 1998 to 2018,village development showed a trend of"goodmedium-poor"'hierarchical solidification.Therefore,it is necessary to explore a new path of cross-village joint development,especially to develop and strengthen the township-level collective economy,so as to promote farmers'common prosperity in ruralareas.

Experimental investigation and cost assessment of the salt production by solar assisted evaporation of saturated brine

The technical feasibility and economy of solar heat collection-forced evaporation process are the keys to its practicality,especially its application in strong brine treatment.The operation cost of applying solar collection in salt manufacturing through depth evaporation of brine has been studied.For Na^＋,K^＋,Mg^2＋//Cl^-,SO4^2--H2O salt–water system,most of the Na Cl and all of the Carnallite were separated.The operation cost reached the optimum when the heat collection and evaporation were controlled at 75 and 55℃,respectively.When the solar radiation amount was 19557 kJ·m^-2·d^-1,the solar collector area for producing Carnallite was about 34.27 m^2·（t salt）^-1,and the operation cost was 13 USD·（t salt）^-1.The energy consumption of salt manufacturing is at least 25%higher than that of natural evaporation.Regarding the economy,the solar assisted salt manufacturing process is recommended to be performed at a production scale of more than 20 tons per day.

Specialized Cooperative Economic Organization of Farmers: Problems and Suggestions

This article analyses the problems of the specialized cooperative economic organizations offarmers in their development process. These problems are: excessive interference by localgovernments; low service capacity at the operating level; administrative and managementconfusion resulting from the lack of status as a legal entity, with rules and regulations. It issuggested that the relevant laws and regulations concerning these organizations beestablished as soon as possible, giving them a legal identification; that the regulations andorganizational structure be perfected; that support be increased and the financial situationof the specialized cooperative economic organizations of farmers be improved.

Farmers Are Growing Further and Further from the Land:Land Transfer and the Practice of Three Rights Separation in China

Over the forty years since reform and opening up,China’s rural land system has undergone a drastic transition from the Two Rights Separation to the Three Rights Separation.Any examination of the latter must be grounded in the crucial field of land transfer.Our fieldwork in different areas across China revealed that the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization has driven a drastic increase in the intensive,large-scale transfer of land.As a result,the traditional small-farmer economy is disintegrating,accompanied by a widening distance between farmers and the land.In practice,the Three Rights Separation system exhibits some new characteristics:the growing substantiation of the ownership rights of the village collective,the demutualization of the contracting rights of farm households and the marketization of management rights.At the same time,in practice we have also seen a strengthening of the position of those enjoying ownership rights and management rights and a weakening of the position of those possessing contracting rights.To change the rural land system and accomplish its goal of rural revitalization,China must endeavor to construct a new type of collective market economy.
