Abstract
Abstract In the household responsibility system of agricultural production, villager group members have rights to use farmland, and leaders of villager groups assign farmland to households. Because the qualities of a group? land differ from place to place, each household receives use rights to fields in several locations. This study examines the processes by which leaders in two areas of Tongan County, Fujian Province, identified the individual fields that were assigned to households. Based on the concept that all of a villager group's members, including children and infirm and elderly adults, should have equal opportunity to benefit from use of the group? land, the processes were designed to allot each household its rightful pieces of land. The study concludes that the villager groups have devised processes that should generally allow equitable land assignments to households.
