Fig. 6: Impact of Land Property Rights (LPRs) on Land Use Efficiency (LUE).

This diagram illustrates the interactions among the market, society, and government, focusing on how these interactions influence the security of LPRs and, consequently, LUE. The government’s role, through legislation, regulation, protection, and expropriation, is highlighted, showing its impact on whether LPRs are secure or insecure. Secure LPRs lead to higher investment and autonomy among developers and individuals, facilitating active land transfer and resulting in higher LUE. Conversely, insecure LPRs diminish investment and autonomy, causing inactive land transfer and leading to land underutilization or vacancy.
