Abstract: Accelerating the construction of a unified national market on land is an important part of building a unified national market. At present, the imbalance between the land property right system and the planned allocation of land resources in China is mainly reflected in the following aspects. On the one hand, urban land and rural land are clearly demarcated; rural collective land has no right to use land for construction; rural land as a residential lot has no usufruct nor security interests; and the rural land has been excessively requisitioned. All this has led to the inequality for farmers to share the fruits of industrialization and urbanization. On the other hand, long-term planned allocation of land resources has caused serious deviation of the distribution of urban and rural construction land from that of population, low scale level of urban and per capita construction land, and unbalanced allocation and utilization structure of urban construction land between different regions and cities. To accelerate the construction of a unified national market on land, in terms of property rights, it is necessary to fully implement the spirit of equal protection of property rights in accordance with Book Two Real Rights in the Civil Code, empowering the same rights and function to both collective and state-owned land. In terms of the mode of resource allocation, it is necessary to fully implement the spirit held by the central government in ensuring the market-based allocation of factors of land, accelerating the transformation from planned land management to market-based allocation. Meanwhile, it is essential to correctly handle the relationship between market-determined allocation and government planning, give better play to the role of the government and reform the current land use regulation system.

Key words: a unified national market on land, the urban-rural dual land property system, allocation of land resources, land system reform
