Abstract:Considering the economic cost of urban village renewal,local governments and developers have formalized redevelopment compensation strategies based on family population or building areas of their rural house.These two types of strategies respectively focus on membership rights of villagers and their accumulation of housing assets,so the relative benefited groups and villagers’ policy satisfaction are different.Identifying the differences will be helpful to optimize subsequent policies for alleviating social and economic disputes.We conduct a random sample survey for urban village renewal in Wuhan,in order to compare with the relationship of housing resettled strategies and villagers’ policy satisfaction.There are several results as follow.Firstly,for the program which resettled compensation based on family population,the average resettled housing area of villager households was decreased by 129.80m2.However,the average resettled housing area of households was just decreased by 14.74m2,when the compensation scheme based on the initial housing area.Secondly,for the program which resettled compensation based on villagers’ family population,the gap of housing assets among villager households was close,and the relative deprivation index decreased from 0.41 to 0.1 after the redevelopment of urban villages.However,for the program which compensation based on villagers’ building area,the relative deprivation index of housing assets of households increased from 0.51 to 0.54,and the gap of housing assets among households increased slightly.Thirdly,compensation by population has led to a significant increase in the housing area of villagers’ households in urban villages with an original farmhouse area of less than 400m2,so their level of policy satisfaction was higher.In contrast,for the program which resettled compensated according to villagers’ initial housing area,the households whose initial housing areas were less than 200m2 lost more,and their policy satisfaction was low.Lastly,the resettled program based on family population considered the homestead development rights for the households whose initial housing area was less than 400m2,and is helpful to avoid the unfair compensation for the building area over 400m2 which is mainly from illegal or rentseek construction.The resettled program based on the initial building area benefited those households with more housing areas,while ignored the land development right of rural homestead for those households whose initial housing area was less than 200m2.
