Since urbanization has accelerated, rural areas have changed rapidly. Especially in the past few years, the issue of rural demolition and relocation has attracted much attention, and the recent rumors about "household demolition" in rural areas in the next four years have attracted widespread attention. Changes in rural planning will directly affect the interests of a large number of farmers, so it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the importance of rural planning and its possible impact. Next, let's dive into the importance and change of rural planning, as well as the challenges and opportunities that may arise in the future.
China has a large rural population, with about 500 million people living in rural areas. However, in recent years, the phenomenon of rural hollowing out has become increasingly serious, and this trend, if continued, will have a negative impact on the sustainable development of rural areas. Therefore, the importance of planning to rural areas is self-evident. Especially in the case of a wide variety of rural development and obvious regional differences, unified planning may affect local characteristics and customs. Based on this, it is particularly important to adapt to local classification planning.
From the perspective of functional value, rural homesteads are not only the foundation of farmers, but also an alternative choice for children who go to the city. The existence of homesteads provides a temporary shelter in case of emergency, and once these homesteads disappear, farmers' enthusiasm for farming will be affected, and the cost of living will further increase. It can be said that rural development planning must comprehensively consider the needs of different stakeholders and make reasonable plans in line with local conditions to achieve sustainable rural development.
In carrying out planning reform in rural areas, we should not only take into account the interests of the existing peasants, but also take into account the direction of rural development in the future. Although planning may bring a certain amount of inconvenience and distress, it is essential to be cautious in rural planning. In the process of promoting rural planning, it is necessary to ensure that the interests of farmers are not harmed, which is the basis of rural planning work and an important criterion for measuring its effectiveness.
According to the "Implementation Opinions on Implementing the Key Work Deployment of Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2023", in the next 4 years or so, rural planning will pay more attention to classified planning according to local conditions, rather than unified demolition and relocation by category. This also means that rural planning will be more flexible and personalized to better meet the development needs of different regions.
In addition, the "No. 1 document" issued this year also clearly proposes to adapt to the changes in the village population and optimize the layout of the village, which will help improve the living environment and infrastructure construction level in the countryside. The "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Integration of Large-scale Ex-situ Poverty Alleviation and Resettlement Areas into New Urbanization to Achieve High-quality Development" shows that in the future, more farmers will achieve urbanization through ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation, which will directly involve the problem of farmers leaving villages and homes.
For farmers, in the face of future rural planning, they need to pay attention to the specific situation of compensation for demolition and relocation, especially the impact of different types of demolition. At the same time, for those rural areas that are closer to cities and counties, they may be the first to usher in planning changes, so relevant preparations need to be made in a timely manner.
Judging from historical experience and current trends, rural planning does contain important development opportunities and challenges. Rural reform should not only stop at the formulation of planning plans, but also require the cooperation and contribution of a wide range of participants. The details of each plan will directly affect the interests of thousands of households, so the prudence of rural planning also requires every one of us who cares about rural development to abide by and practice. It is hoped that future rural planning can better take care of the interests of farmers, achieve the goal of rural revitalization, and let the countryside radiate new vitality and vitality.
